The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) outlines critical Operation Security (OPSEC) and Portable Electronic Device (PED) requirements for contractors. The document defines OPSEC as a process to protect sensitive Critical Information and Indicators (CII) from adversaries, emphasizing that all contractors and subcontractors are responsible for preventing inadvertent disclosure of both classified and unclassified information. Contractors may need to submit an OPSEC Plan, depending on the contract's nature. Prohibited actions include publicizing CII, transmitting it to personal emails, or posting it on social media. Disclosure of CII can lead to severe penalties, including contract termination or criminal prosecution. The policy also details controls for PEDs, which can record and transmit data, requiring coordination with sponsors for approval. The document lists examples of CII, such as Personally Identifiable Information, operation schedules, and equipment capabilities, alongside countermeasures like restricting discussions, prohibiting unauthorized photography, shredding sensitive documents, and reporting security compromises.
