What is the purpose of a Special Briefing NON-DISCLOSURE?

The purpose of a Special Briefing NON-DISCLOSURE is to ensure that personnel who have had unauthorized exposure to classified information understand their responsibilities and the risks involved in handling sensitive data. This briefing aims to emphasize the importance of safeguarding classified information and to mitigate the threat posed by any prior exposure that may have occurred outside proper channels. It reinforces the need for individuals to be aware of their obligations regarding non-disclosure, especially to prevent unauthorized dissemination of sensitive information that could compromise national security.

Individuals who have had unauthorized exposure may have inadvertently come into contact with classified materials without the proper clearance or training, making it critical for them to be briefed on the implications of mishandling such information. It educates them on the measures they must follow going forward to maintain security protocols.

Those with authorized access to classified information, contractors seeking clearance, and individuals preparing for foreign travel have different requirements and processes surrounding their interactions with classified information, which do not align with the specific context and requirements associated with a Special Briefing NON-DISCLOSURE.
