‒ If necessary, arrange with the Security Department first

Security Violations and DeviationsPrevention Tips (cont.)
Security Violations and Deviations{Company} Obligations
• To maintain its security posture and meet its security obligations to the U.S. Government, {Company} retains the right to take immediate action to prevent the loss or compromise of classified or sensitive information
• Once individual culpability for a security violation or deviation is determined through investigation, the Security Department management will assess the implications of the event for the individual and the {Company} security posture
• {Company} has a graduated scale of administrative sanctions that will be taken for failing to adhere to established security rules and regulations
Security Violations and DeviationsAdministrative Sanctions
• Sanctions are determined by the offense and are on a graduated scale (See local SPP for details)
• Sanction examples:
– Verbal or written counseling by Security, immediate supervisor, {Company} president or a combination
– Information restrictions
– Project access restrictions
– Required training
– Suspension without pay
– Clearance termination or job change
– Removal from contract
– Employment termination
– Imprisonment and/or fines
Security Violations and DeviationsIndividual Culpability
• Reporting individual culpability to the Department of Defense‒ {Company} is required to identify the culpable party(s) to a
security violation where there is an issue of the individual’s future reliability
• Determination to forward a culpability report occurs when one or more of the following factors are revealed:‒ The violation involved a disregard of security requirements,
gross negligence in the handling of classified information, or a pattern of negligence or carelessness even though the incident was not deliberate
• Security Violations are costly, but can be prevented by ensuring all individuals remain aware of their security responsibilities‒ Ignorance will not excuse you from disciplinary action or
criminal prosecution
