Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is information about certain intelligence sources and methods and can include information pertaining to sensitive collection
systems, analytical processing, and targeting, or which is derived from it. Access to SCI is only granted to individuals who have a need-to-know, have been granted a Top Secret clearance by Personnel Security (PerSec), and are approved by the Department of Commerce’s Intelligence Community granting agency, and only upon completion of a separate Nondisclosure Agreement, the IC Form 4414. Information that has been determined to be SCI may only be stored and used in a Sensitive Compartmented
Information Facility (SCIF). SCIFs have specific construction requirements, and their subsequent accreditation is separate from those for Controlled Areas and is coordinated by the Department’s Special Security Officer (SSO). InfoSec Program personnel process incoming and outgoing Visit Access Requests (VAR) for individuals
with SCI who will be attending meetings or other events at that level. Within the Department of Commerce’s Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB), VARs for Secret and Top Secret requests are handled by the Security Servicing Center and outside of the building, by an operating unit’s Client Security Services Division (CSSD)
field office. The Department of Commerce Special Security Officer (SSO) is responsible for management of the Department's Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) programs. SCI and/or Special Access Program (SAP) mission requirements shall be coordinated with the SSO by the operating unit identifying the access need. Appointed Special Security Representatives (SSR) are delegated Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) management
responsibilities, and coordinate directly with the SSO on matters related to SCIF administration, operations and compliance as appropriate. Questions regarding the SSO functions, the SCI program or determining SCI access requirements may be sent to: Due to the sensitive nature of the program, e-mails will only be responded to which originate from addresses which end in .gov or .mil. Additionally, please do not include Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about yourself or others in messages to this mailbox.

 Example of intelligence on covert meetings held by the French President François Hollande. The intelligence was collected by the National Security Agency and classified as TOP SECRET//COMINT-GAMMA//ORCON/NOFORN, and released in form of a Global SIGINT Highlight on 22 May 2012. Sensitive compartmented information (SCI) is a type of United States classified information concerning or derived from sensitive intelligence sources, methods, or analytical processes. All SCI must be handled within formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence.[1] SCI is not a classification; SCI clearance has sometimes been called "above Top Secret",[2] but information at any classification level may exist within an SCI control system. When "decompartmentalized", this information is treated the same as collateral information at the same classification level. The federal government requires[3] the SCI be processed, stored, used or discussed in a Sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF). Access[edit]Eligibility for access to SCI is determined by a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or periodic reinvestigation.[4] Because the same investigation is used to grant Top Secret security clearances, the two are often written together as TS//SCI. Eligibility alone does not confer access to any specific SCI material; it is simply a qualification. One must receive explicit permission to access an SCI control system or compartment. This process may include a polygraph or other approved investigative or adjudicative action.[5] Once it is determined a person should have access to an SCI compartment, they sign a nondisclosure agreement, are "read in" or indoctrinated, and the fact of this access is recorded in a local access register or in a computer database. Upon termination from a particular compartment, the employee again signs the nondisclosure agreement. Control systems[edit]An SCI cover sheet from 1967. SCI is divided into control systems, which are further subdivided into compartments and sub-compartments. These systems and compartments are usually identified by a classified codeword. Several such codewords have been declassified. The following SCI control systems, with their abbreviations and compartments, are known:
Markings[edit]SCI control system markings are placed immediately after the classification level markings in a banner line or portion marking.[23] Sometimes, especially on older documents, they are stamped. The following banner line and portion marking describe a top secret document containing information from the notional SI-GAMMA 1234 subcompartment, the notional SI-MANSION compartment, and the notional TALENT KEYHOLE-LANTERN compartment: TOP SECRET // SI-GAMMA 1234-MANSION / TALENT KEYHOLE-LANTERN // NOFORN (TS // SI-G 1234-M / TK-L // NF) Older documents were marked with HANDLE VIA xxxx CONTROL CHANNELS (or "HVxCC"), HANDLE VIA xxxx CHANNELS ONLY (or "HVxCO"), or HANDLE VIA xxxx CHANNELS JOINTLY (or "HVxCJ"), but this requirement was rescinded in 2006.[24] For example, COMINT documents were marked as HANDLE VIA COMINT CHANNELS ONLY. This marking led to the use of the caveat CCO (COMINT Channels Only) in portion markings,[25] but CCO is also obsolete.[26] Notes[edit]
