EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(U) The policy of the U.S. Government is that all classified information must be appropriately safeguarded to assure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of that information. This document provides procedural guidance for the protection, use, management, and dissemination of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), and is applicable to the Department of Defense (DoD) to include DoD components and Government contractors who process SCI. The combination of security safeguards and procedures used for Information Systems (IS) shall assure compliance with DCID 6/3, NSA/CSS Manual 130-1 and DIAM 50-4. The JDCSISSS is a technical supplement to both the NSA/CSS Manual 130-1 and DIAM 50-4.
(U) The prime purpose of this document is to provide IS security implementation guidance relative to the management of SCI and the automated infrastructure used to process this information at the organizational level.
(U) Nothing in this document shall be construed to countermand or waive provisions of any Executive Order, National Policy, Department of Defense (DoD) Directive, or other provisions of regulatory policies or laws which are beyond the scope of authority of the Directors of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS).
