Duuuuh, SECRET//SCI Protective Cover Sheet ?
2022-09-01

Protective cover sheet in the foreground is labeled SECRET//SCI. Must be something new in the world of protective cover sheets. The link offers a Google view of the current family of protective cover sheets.

Very interesting.

#13  SCI access requires an SBI, and some require a CI polygraph, others amp it up and need the infamous Lifestyle poly. Usually, the type of access needed for SCI requires a background investigation that is thorough enough to qualify for a TS clearance.

Secret/SCI is usually SCI for sources and methods, mostly used in the SIGINT world.

#7  I have just re-read AR 380-28, Army Sensitive
Compartmented Information Security Program.
In fact I read the pertinent portions three times.

A Top Secret security clearance is NOT a prerequisite for being 'read on' to SCI.

I stand corrected.... again.

#6  Thx DV, but I'll have to read the Regs on that one. Never met a Publisher's Clearing House winner either, but I suppose there's bound to be one.

May be 'old dog, new trick time.'
Who knows.

#4  I had to look it up since I never heard of it when working for the DoD. Here is the brief answer.

Regardless of the type of clearance obtained, when an individual obtains access or is read into a program or contract, that access is recorded in the security clearance system of record – typically the Joint Personnel Adjudication System, or Scattered Castles. In some cases, an individual may be read into an SCI program, regardless of the clearance level, although additional vetting will be required.

So, it is possible to have a secret clearance, and SCI access. Just like having a Top Secret clearance also doesn’t mean you have a ‘TS/SCI’ clearance. Like most security clearance questions, your eligibility will come down to the agency you’re serving, and the government’s needs.

#3  I have been out of the game for a while now, but never recalled that SECRET level material had an SCI adjunct classification possible, but that would not move it to a TS/SCI level??? Is this actually an artificial construct for media consumption by the DoJ?

#2  You can buy almost all of these new covers on Etsy, as a download only though.

What if I placed one on a DC toilet.
Would the 💩 be protected from disposal?
