The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard's Operations Security (OPSEC) contract outlines requirements to protect sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. OPSEC involves processing and safeguarding Critical Information and Indicators (CII) relevant to national security. Contractors must submit an OPSEC Plan, detailing their strategies to avoid data compromise, using secure methods of communication (e.g., encrypted email, USPS).
Contractors are warned against disclosing CII during contract performance, with strict prohibitions on sharing information through personal emails or social media. Non-compliance may result in contract termination or legal repercussions. The document emphasizes the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and requires reporting any unauthorized access to security personnel.
Additionally, the use of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) is regulated, necessitating pre-approval based on security guidelines. Measures should include shredding sensitive documents and restricting verbal discussions about shipyard activities. The OPSEC Critical Information and Indicator List outlines specific threats and countermeasures tailored to avoid compromises that could endanger personnel or government assets. Overall, the document serves to reinforce information security protocols essential in federal contracting contexts.
