NATO[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Die Geheimhaltungsstufen der NATO sind:

COSMIC TOP SECRET (CTS), wird in Deutschland behandelt wie STRENG GEHEIM
NATO SECRET (NS), wird in Deutschland behandelt wie GEHEIM
NATO CONFIDENTIAL (NC), wird in Deutschland behandelt wie VS-VERTRAULICH
NATO RESTRICTED (NR), wird in Deutschland behandelt wie VS-NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH
Bei internationalen Einsätzen, wie z. B. dem Einsatz deutscher Tornados in Afghanistan, erfolgt die Einstufung z. B. als NATO SECRET releasable to ISAF SECRET.

Einen speziellen Stellenwert hat auch die Geheimhaltungsstufe NATO UNCLASSIFIED (NU). Informationen und Dokumente mit dieser Geheimhaltungsstufe sind geistiges Eigentum der NATO (Copyright) und dürfen nicht ohne die Zustimmung der NATO veröffentlicht werden. Generell sind derart klassifizierte Informationen nicht für die Übertragung über das Internet freigegeben, außer sie sind klar mit dem Zusatz RELEASABLE FOR INTERNET TRANSMISSION gekennzeichnet.

Informationen oder Dokumente, die öffentlich zugänglich sind, werden mit dem Zusatz NON SENSITIVE INFORMATION RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC gekennzeichnet.

Clearance[edit]
Clearance is a general classification, that comprises a variety of rules controlling the level of permission required to view so classified information, and how it must be stored, transmitted, and destroyed. Additionally, access is restricted on a "need to know" basis. Simply possessing a clearance does not automatically authorize the individual to view all material classified at that level or below that level. The individual must present a legitimate "need to know" in addition to the proper level of clearance.


Compartmented information[edit]
In addition to the general risk-based classification levels, additional compartmented constraints on access exist, such as (in the U.S.) Special Intelligence (SI), which protects intelligence sources and methods, No Foreign dissemination (NOFORN), which restricts dissemination to U.S. nationals, and Originator Controlled dissemination (ORCON), which ensures that the originator can track possessors of the information. Information in these compartments is usually marked with specific keywords in addition to the classification level.

Government information about nuclear weapons often has an additional marking to show it contains such information (CNWDI).

International[edit]
When a government agency or group shares information between an agency or group of other country’s government they will generally employ a special classification scheme that both parties have previously agreed to honour.

For example, the marking ATOMAL, is applied to U.S. RESTRICTED DATA or FORMERLY RESTRICTED DATA and United Kingdom ATOMIC information that has been released to NATO. ATOMAL information is marked COSMIC TOP SECRET ATOMAL (CTSA), NATO SECRET ATOMAL (NSAT), or NATO CONFIDENTIAL ATOMAL (NCA).

NATO classifications[edit]
For example, sensitive information shared amongst NATO allies has four levels of security classification; from most to least classified:

COSMIC TOP SECRET (CTS),
NATO SECRET (NS),
NATO CONFIDENTIAL (NC), and
NATO RESTRICTED (NR).
