JAMES DS FY25

The Department of Homeland Security's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) outlines the obligations and responsibilities of individuals granted conditional access to Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII), Sensitive Security Information (SSI), and Other Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information. Signers must attest to their understanding and compliance with regulations related to these categories of information, including the Critical Infrastructure Information Act and applicable guidelines. The NDA stresses the importance of safeguarding sensitive information, prohibits unauthorized disclosures, and mandates reporting any security violations. Additionally, it addresses the handling and return of such information upon completion of duties, specifies the consequences for violations, and clarifies the agreement's enforcement by the U.S. government. This NDA underscores the commitment to secure sensitive information vital to national security and the operations of federal programs, reflecting the government's need to protect critical data in various contexts, including grants and RFPs.
