CLASSIFIED INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY MANUAL
1. PURPOSE. This Manual provides requirements and implementation instructions for the graded
protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information processed on all
automated information systems used to collect, create, process, transmit, store, and disseminate
classified information by, or on behalf of, the Department of Energy (DOE). The requirements are
based upon applicable Federal statutes, regulations, National Security Directives, Executive
Orders, procedures in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars and Bulletins, and
Federal standards.
2. SUMMARY. All information collected, created, processed, transmitted, stored, or disseminated
by, or on behalf of, DOE on automated information systems requires some level of protection.
The loss or compromise of information entrusted to DOE or its contractors may affect the nation’s
economic competitive position, the environment, the national security, DOE missions, or the
citizens of the United States. The risk management approach defined in this Manual for DOE and
its contractors provides for the graded, cost-effective protection of automated information
systems containing classified information. Protection of unclassified automated information
systems is provided for in DOE N 205.1, UNCLASSIFIED CYBER SECURITY PROGRAM.

CHAPTER I
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. INTRODUCTION. The Classified Information Systems Security Program provides for the
protection of classified information on DOE and contractor information systems. This Manual
consists of three main elements: Management Structure, Risk Management, and Requirements.
In this document, the term(s) “classified information system,” “information system,” or “system”
are used to mean systems that process classified information.
2. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE. Management of the Classified Information Systems Security
Program is performed through a multi-tiered structure. DOE positions include the Classified
Information Systems Security Program Manager (ISPM), Designated Approving Authority(s)
(DAA), and Classified Information Systems Security Operations Manager(s) (ISOM). Site
positions, which may be held by DOE or contractor employees, include Classified Information
Systems Security Site Manager(s) (ISSMs) and Classified Information Systems Security
Officer(s) (ISSO). Site positions also include application owners/data custodians and users.
Details of the management structure and responsibilities are in Chapter II.
3. RISK MANAGEMENT. Risk management is a process that considers the prevailing DOE
threat analysis, the effect of countermeasures applied to the processing environment, the remaining
vulnerability of the processing environment (residual risk), and the protection requirements and
value of the information being processed. Countermeasures are increased until the risk is reduced
to an acceptable level or until the cost of reducing the risk becomes prohibitive. If the DAA
determines that the remaining risk is not acceptable, management must then determine if the
automation requirements are sufficient to justify additional costs. Details of the risk management
process and other program management requirements are in Chapter III. The certification and
accreditation process is described in Chapter V.
Section 6
4. REQUIREMENTS. The Department’s classified information systems security process for
achieving adequate protection based on levels of concern for the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of information is detailed in Chapter V. Requirements common to all systems are
detailed in Chapter VI. These include sanitization, maintenance, personnel, and physical
requirements. Protection requirements graded by levels of concern and confidentiality protection
level are detailed in Chapter VII. These include audit, documentation, and testing requirements.
Additional requirements for interconnected systems (networks) are detailed in Chapter VIII.
5. OTHER RELATED POLICIES. This Manual provides protection requirements for classified
information systems. Other DOE Orders and Manuals provide the specific requirements for
classified communications, protected transmission systems, classified matter protection, and
personnel and physical requirements. Determination of classification must be accomplished in
accordance with DOE classification policy.

CHAPTER III
RISK AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION. The cornerstone of the Classified Information Systems Security Program is
the risk management process, which determines the protection requirements for DOE information.
Risk management balances the data custodian’s perceived value of the information and his/her
assessment of the consequences of loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability against the
costs of protective countermeasures and day-to-day operations. DOE’s risk management
process includes the following interrelated phases:
a. threat analysis;
b. risk analysis that evaluates generic threats, technologies, and architectures and integrates
associated findings into DOE directives governing information systems;
c. data custodians’ declarations of the consequences of loss of confidentiality, integrity, and
availability;
d. site program implementation that evaluates the unique concerns of the site (i.e., threats,
protective technologies, procedures, etc.) and integrates those concerns with site operations;
e. system implementation that identifies, evaluates, and integrates the impact of information
loss, system vulnerabilities, data custodian protection requirements, cost of protective
measures, and mission requirements; and
f. system operation where the remaining risk (residual risk) is accepted and oversight is
initiated to ensure that the level of residual risk is managed throughout the information
system’s life cycle.
Section 12
2. THREAT ANALYSIS. The analysis of information threats identified by national and DOE
organizations provides the basis for protecting DOE’s classified information. The ISPM must
annually review the national information threat posture. The results of this review must be used to
develop or update the DOE Statement of Generic Threat to Automated Information Systems.
3. DEPARTMENTAL RISK ANALYSIS. This process begins with an analysis of information
architectures and technologies to determine how information with different sensitivities can be
protected on a system. A risk assessment is then performed using this analysis and the DOE
Statement of Generic Threat to Automated Information Systems. The results of this risk
assessment are used as the basis to develop the protection countermeasures for DOE’s
information.
CANCELE
D
III-2 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
a. Periodic Risk Assessment. For DOE Classified Information Systems Security Program, the
ISPM must maintain a constant awareness of how technology, technology trends,
information architectures and information standards relate to protecting information. The
ISPM must use this information and the DOE Statement of Generic Threat to Automated
Information Systems to perform and update the Periodic Risk Assessment for the Classified
Information Systems Security Program.
b. Changes to Directives. If either the DOE Statement of Generic Threat to Automated
Information Systems or the Periodic Risk Assessment for the Classified Information Systems
Security Program is changed, the ISPM must identify and recommend changes to
requirements in DOE O 471.2A and this Manual.
4. DATA CUSTODIAN RESPONSIBILITIES. The custodian of each piece of information
collected, created, processed, transmitted, or stored on an automated system must ensure the
determination of the level of sensitivity and classification of information on the automated system.
5. SITE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. The site risk assessment, performed as a function of
the Site Security Plan (SSP) or the Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP), must include the
Departmentwide Classified Information Systems Security Risk Assessment as a baseline and must
identify any site-specific threats. The site risk assessment must consider any protection
technologies unique to the site. The results of the site risk assessment must be documented and
used to augment, as needed, the Classified Information Systems protection profiles to be applied
to information systems at the site.
6. NEW OR MODIFIED SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION. The system implementation process
begins when the levels of concern and protection level of the information to be processed are
identified, as described in Chapter IV. This information forms the basis for the protection profile.
The protection profile requirements are then integrated into the information system’s design,
implementation, and operation.
7. SYSTEM OPERATION. The final phase of the risk management process is acceptance of risk
through certification and accreditation (see Chapter V) and the protection of information during
day-to-day operations.
8. INCIDENT REPORTING. In addition to the reporting requirements of DOE O 232.1A,
OCCURRENCE REPORTING AND PROCESSING OF OPERATIONS INFORMATION,
dated 7-21-97, the ISOM must ensure that incidents affecting DOE or national interests are
reported (via telephone or other electronic means) to the ISPM. The report must include at least
the location of the incident, possible effect on DOE or national interests, a description of the
incident, and a description of the actions that were taken to protect information after the incident
was discovered. All individual(s) collecting information about or reporting an incident must ensure
that any sensitive or classified information involved in the incident or report is properly protected.
Section 13
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 III-3 (and III-4)
8-3-99
a. The following incident reporting requirements apply.
(1) Affects Site Interests. If the incident affects only site interests, the site must collect and
maintain information about the incident, such as location, description, resources needed
to respond to the incident, and actions that were taken to protect information after the
incident was discovered. The DAA must provide this information on request from the
ISPM. A quarterly summary report must be submitted to the ISPM through the
ISOM.
(2) Affects DOE or National Interests. Any incident that affects DOE or national interests
must be reported to the ISOM immediately after detection. The ISOM must report
the incident to the ISPM within 1 hour of receiving the site report.
b. The ISPM will periodically issue instructions regarding what constitutes an incident and
specifying information to be reported.
9. OVERSIGHT.
a. ISOM Program Reviews. The ISOM must ensure that periodic reviews of the site’s
Classified Information Systems Security Program are performed.
b. ISSM Self-Assessments. The ISSM must ensure that periodic self-assessments of the site’s
program are performed. Upon completion of each review, the ISSM must ensure that a
corrective action plan is prepared and implemented for all findings or vulnerabilities as
directed by DOE O 470.1, Chapter IX, Paragraph 10a. A record of each review and the
subsequent corrective action plan must be retained and made available during future surveys
and inspections.
10. SITE SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PLAN. The SSSP must contain information regarding
the Classified Information Systems Security Program as detailed in DOE O 470.1.CANCELE

CHAPTER IV
PROTECTION PROFILES
1. INTRODUCTION. A protection profile is a description of the protection measures required for
a particular information system. A protection profile reflects the prescribed protection measures,
which are determined by–
a. the protection level for confidentiality,
b. the level of concern for integrity and availability, and
c. the operating environment of the system as reflected by the level(s) of trust embodied in the
user environment.
2. LEVEL OF CONCERN. The level of concern reflects the perceived sensitivity of the
information and the consequences of the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
a. Information Sensitivity Matrices. The information sensitivity matrices presented here are
designed to assist in determining the appropriate protection level and the levels of concern
for confidentiality, integrity, and availability for a given classified information system
processing a given set of information. The matrices (Tables 1, 2, and 3) should be used as
follows.
(1) A determination of high, medium, or low must be made for each of the three attributes:
confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It is not necessary for the level of concern to
be the same for all attributes of the system.
(2) The DAA or the data custodian may determine that additional protection measures
(beyond those required by the specified levels of concern) are necessary to achieve an
acceptable level of risk.
Section 14
b. Confidentiality Level of Concern. In considering confidentiality, the principal question is the
necessity for supporting the classification levels and the types of information (e.g., Secret
Restricted Data [SRD] Sigma 15) on the system in question. The Protection Level Table
for Confidentiality (Table 4) combines the processing environment with the level of concern
for confidentiality to provide a protection level. The protection level is then applied to Table
5 to provide a set of graded requirements to protect the confidentiality of the information on
the system. This graded approach to requirements provides sufficient and necessary
protection for the information on the system without requiring unnecessary protections for
systems where the level of concern for confidentiality is low or medium.

required by the specified level of concern) are necessary to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
c. Integrity Level of Concern. In considering integrity, the principal consideration is the need
for accuracy of the information on the system in question.
d. Availability Level of Concern. In considering availability, the principal consideration is the
need for the information on the system in question to be available in a fixed time frame to
accomplish a mission.

Level of Concern Qualifiers
High
Information must always be available upon request, with no tolerance for
delay; or loss of life might result from loss of availability; or loss of
availability will have an adverse effect on national-level interests; or loss of
availability will have an adverse effect on confidentiality.
Medium
Information must be readily available with minimum tolerance for delay; or
bodily injury might result from loss of availability; or loss of availability will
have an adverse effect on organizational-level interests.
Low Information must be available with flexible tolerance for delay.
Section 15
NOTE: In this context, “High - no tolerance for delay” means no delay; “Medium - minimum tolerance for delay”
means a delay of seconds to hours; and “Low - flexible tolerance for delay” means a delay of days to
weeks.
NOTE: The DAA or the data custodian may determine that additional protection measures (beyond those
required by the specified level of concern) are necessary to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
3. PROTECTION LEVEL. The protection level of a classified information system is determined by
the relationship between two sets of facts: (1) the clearance levels, formal access approvals, and
users’ need-to-know; and (2) the level of concern for classification. The protection level
translates into a set of requirements that must be implemented in the resulting system. Table 4
presents the criteria for determining the following six protection levels for confidentiality:
a. Systems are operating at Protection Level 1 when all users have all required clearances,
formal access approvals, and the need-to-know for all information on the system.
b. Systems are operating at Protection Level 2 when all users have all required formal
approvals for access to all information on the system, but at least one user lacks
administrative approvals for some of the information on the system. This means that all users
have all required clearances and all required formal access approvals, but at least one user
lacks the need-to-know for some of the information on the system.
c. Systems are operating at Protection Level 3 when at least one user lacks at least one
required formal approval for access to some information on the system. This means that all
users have all required clearances, but at least one user lacks formal access approval for
some of the information on the system.
d. Systems are operating at Protection Level 4 when at least one user has only a DOD Secret
or DOE L clearance, and the level of concern for confidentiality is high.
CANCELE
D
IV-4 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
e. Systems are operating at Protection Level 5 when at least one user has no clearance, and
the information on the system is classified no higher than Secret and contains no Sigma 1, 2,
14, or 15 (i.e., the level of concern for confidentiality is low or medium).
f. Systems are operating at Protection Level 6 when at least one user has no clearance, and
the level of concern for confidentiality is high.
4. PROTECTION PROFILES.
a. Common Requirements. Requirements common to all systems are detailed in Chapter VI.

6. SUBSTANTIAL RISK SYSTEMS. Systems operating at Protection Level 4 present a
substantial risk of the loss of the separation and need-to-know protection provided by
compartmentation. DAAs must recognize the technical risk of operating such systems.
7. SPECIAL CATEGORIES. Several categories of systems can be adequately secured without
implementing the protection measures specified in Chapter VII. These systems are not
“exceptions” or “special cases” of the protection levels specified in this chapter; however,
applying the protection requirements specified in Chapter VII to these systems by rote results in
unnecessary costs and operational impacts. In general, the technical questions are where, when,
and how to apply a given set of protection measures, rather than whether to apply the measures.
For many of these “special” systems (such as guards or pure servers and tactical, embedded,
data-acquisition, and special-purpose systems), the physical security protections for the system
provide the required access control while the application running on the platform provides the
required user separation.
a. Pure Servers.
(1) Certain specialized systems, when acting as pure servers in a network, do not fit the
protection level criteria and may need fewer protection measures. These systems have
the following characteristics:
(a) no user code is present on the system,
(b) only system administrators and maintainers can access the system,
(c) the system provides non-interactive services to clients (e.g., packet routing or
messaging services),
(d) the hardware and/or application providing network services otherwise meets the
protection requirements of the network,
(e) the risk of attack against the Security Support Structure (SSS) using network
communication paths is sufficiently low, and
(f) the risk of attack against the SSS using physical access to the system itself is
sufficiently low.
(2) The platform (i.e., hardware and operating system) on which the guard or pure
server runs usually needs to meet no more than Protection Level 3 security
requirements. The guard or pure server may have a large number of clients (i.e.,
CANCELE
D
IV-8 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
individuals who use the guard’s or server’s functional capabilities in a severely
constrained way). The guard application or server application itself will have to
provide the more stringent protection requirements appropriate for the system’s
protection level and operational environment. Assurances appropriate to the levels of
concern for the system must be implemented.
(3) Systems that do have general users or do execute general user code are not “pure
servers” within the meaning of this section and so must meet all protection requirements
specified for their protection level and operational environment.
(4) The term “pure server” is not intended to limit the applicability of this section to
systems that have traditionally been referred to as servers. For example, a messaging
system that happened to be implemented on a general-purpose computer platform
could be accredited under this Manual, and if such a system meets the specifications in
(1), above, the system’s protection requirements could be categorized by this section
of the Manual.
Section 18
(5) The above easing of protection requirements does not imply any relaxation in other
security requirements (e.g., physical and communications security requirements), which
are determined by the information handled or protected by the system. As stated
above, this easing of protection requirements is predicated upon adequate application
of physical security and other appropriate security disciplines.
b. Tactical, Embedded, Data-Acquisition, and Special-Purpose Systems. Some systems
cannot be altered by users and are designed and implemented to provide a very limited set
of predetermined functions. Certain tactical or so-called “embedded” systems fall into this
category, as do some data-acquisition systems and some other special-purpose systems.
These systems also have the characteristics that first, and most importantly, there are no
general users on the system and, second, there is no user code running on the system. If
the DAA determines that such a system is sufficiently incapable of alteration, and that the
application(s) running on the system provide an adequate level of security, then the system
does not have to meet additional protection requirements specified for more-general-
purpose systems in this Manual. DAAs and implementors are cautioned to be sure that such
systems do, in all operational situations, provide the separation appropriate to the system’s
protection level.
c. Systems with Group Authenticators. Many protection measures specified in this Manual
implicitly assume that the system includes an acceptable level of individual accountability.
This is normally ensured by the use of unique user identifiers and authenticators.
Operationally, the design of some systems necessitates more than one individual using the
same identifier/authenticator combination. Such situations often require the use of group
authenticators.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 IV-9
8-3-99
In general, the use of group authenticators precludes the association of a particular act with
the individual who initiated that act. In turn, this can preclude assignment of responsibility
and can exacerbate the difficulties involved in incident investigation. Group authenticators
must be used only for broader access after the use of a unique authenticator for initial
identification and authentication. The use of group authenticators must be approved by the
DAA.
d. Single-User, Stand-Alone Systems. Extensive technical protection measures are normally
inappropriate and inordinately expensive for single-user, stand-alone systems. DAAs can
approve administrative and environmental protection measures for such systems, in lieu of
technical ones. Systems that have one user at a time, but have a total of more than one user
with no sanitization between users, are multi-user systems, and the DAA must consider the
systems as such in determining the protection level and the resulting protection requirements.
Systems that have one user at a time, and are sanitized between users, are periods
processing systems as described below.
e. Periods Processing. Periods processing is a method of operating an information system
sequentially that provides the capability to process information at various levels of sensitivity
at distinctly different times. Periods processing provides the capability to either have more
than one user or group of users (sequentially) on a single-user information system who do
not have the same need-to-know or who are authorized to access different levels of
information or use an information system at more than one protection level (sequentially).
Section 19
(1) Sanitization After Use. If an information system is used for periods processing either
by more than one user or for segregating information by classification level onto
separate media, the ISSP must specify the sanitization procedures to be employed by
each user before and after each use of the system.
(2) Sanitization Between Periods. The information system must be sanitized of all
information before transitioning from one period to the next [e.g., whenever a new user
does not have access authorization or the need-to-know for data processed during the
previous period, which is changing from one protection level to another]. The DAA
must document and approve such procedures, which could include, among others,
sanitizing nonvolatile storage, exchanging disks, and powering down the information
system and its peripherals.
(3) Media for Each Period. Information systems employed in periods processing must
have separate media for each period of processing, including copies of operating
systems, utilities, and applications software.
(4) Audit. If several people are using the system, and the system is not capable of
automated logging, the DAA must consider requiring manual logging. Audit trails are
not required for single-user, stand-alone systems.

8. PROTECT AS RESTRICTED DATA (PARD).
a. Site Authorization to Use PARD Designation. Any site wishing to use the PARD
designation must receive prior approval from the Director, Office of Nonproliferation and
National Security. The ISOM may limit use of the PARD designation to specific
organizations at a site. Use of the PARD designator will be discontinued permanently on
June 30, 2002.
b. Handling and Control of PARD Information. The security measures contained herein apply
only to PARD information as it appears as output, hereafter referred to as “PARD output.”
(1) Only printed computer output may be marked PARD. Electronic media (disks, tapes,
etc.) and computer systems may not be marked PARD. Within the classified
information system (including communication lines), information that will be labeled
PARD when it is in printed form is designated as Secret Restricted Data.
(2) PARD output may be generated only on classified information systems that have been
accredited to process information at the high level of concern for confidentiality.
(3) PARD output may be used only in a DOE limited or protected area.
(4) PARD output may be accessed only by personnel who have a Q access authorization
and a need-to-know.
(5) Appropriately trained users (see Paragraph 8c, below) may determine the use of the
PARD marking for their information. The PARD marking must be used only–
• if the output may contain limited quantities of classified information that is not
readily recognized as classified because it is contained in large quantities of
unclassified information and
• if the PARD output contains a substantial volume of data with a low density of
potentially classified information.
(6) PARD output must be conspicuously marked on each page or sheet with the words
“PROTECT AS RESTRICTED DATA.” Where space does not allow, the letters
“PARD” may be used. This marking must be applied when the PARD output is
originated. All PARD output must show the date of origination.
(7) When not in use, PARD output must be stored as follows:
• within a limited or protected area in a manner authorized for Secret Restricted
Data documents (see DOE M 471.2-1B, CLASSIFIED MATTER
PROTECTION AND CONTROL MANUAL);
Section 20
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 IV-11 (and IV-12)
8-3-99
• in a secure storage container or filing cabinet equipped with a locking device; or
• in an area that is administratively controlled during work hours and maintained
under locked conditions during nonwork hours.
The keys/combinations for any locks used to protect PARD must be administratively
controlled and available only to persons with at least a Q access authorization and a
need-to-know.
(8) PARD output must be destroyed in the same manner as Secret Restricted Data
documents (see DOE M 471.2-1B).
(9) PARD output to be transferred from the site on which it was originated to another site
must be reviewed for classification (DOE M 475.1-1, IDENTIFYING CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION) and, if classified, must be marked, handled, protected, and
transferred as any other classified document (DOE M 471.2-1B). PARD output
transferred between points within a limited or protected area or between limited or
protected areas located at the same site must be in the personal custody of a person
who has a Q access authorization. Between limited or protected areas, PARD output
must be protected as a Secret Restricted Data document (DOE M 471.2-1B).
c. Training of PARD Users. The Classified Matter Protection and Control (CMPC) Manager
at a site approved for the use of PARD output must ensure proper control and use of PARD
output by ensuring that each user is aware of the special security measures necessary for
handling PARD output. A user must not be allowed to use the PARD designation until
he/she has received appropriate training as specified by the CMPC Manager. The CMPC
Manager must ensure that periodic reviews are conducted to ensure that accumulation of
PARD output is kept to a minimum and that the PARD marking is being used in compliance
with this Manual.

CHAPTER V
CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION
1. OVERVIEW. The certification and accreditation process begins after protection measures have
been implemented and any required classified information system protection documentation has
been approved. The certification process confirms that the protection profile described in the
ISSP has been implemented and that the protection measures are functioning properly. This
process culminates in an accreditation for the system to operate.
2. CERTIFICATION PROCESS. The certification process confirms that the system’s protection
measures have been correctly implemented in accordance with the selected protection profile.
a. Independent Validation and Verification. For information systems intended to operate in
Protection Level 5 or 6, an Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) review must be
conducted and funded by the cognizant site.
b. Sensitive Compartmented Information. For information systems located in an SCIF that
processes SCI, the cognizant ISSM, ISOM, and ISPM must review the information system
protection documentation and the certification of the information system. Once they have
completed their review, they send it, with their comments, to the Office of Energy
Intelligence and the Office of Nonproliferation and National Security.
3. ACCREDITATION. The DAA must review and accredit all systems before they become
operational to ensure they maintain the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of all classified
information.
Section 21
a. Provisional Accreditation. The DAA may grant provisional accreditation (temporary
authority) to operate an information system because of incomplete documentation or to
permit a major conversion of the information system. Provisional accreditation may be
granted for up to 180 days. DAA-approved protection measures must be in place and
functioning during the period of provisional accreditation.
b. Reaccreditation. As outlined in National Policy contained in OMB Circular A-130,
“Management of Federal Information Resources,” and National Security
Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Directives (NSTISSDs), each
information system must be reaccredited every 3 years or whenever security-significant
changes are made to the accredited information system. The ISSO/ISSM/ISOM must
review proposed modifications to information systems to determine if the proposed
modifications will impact the protections on the system. If the protection aspects of the
systems environment change, if the applicable protection requirements change, or if the
protection mechanisms implemented for the system change, the system must be
reaccredited.
CANCELE
D
V-2 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
During the reaccreditation cycle, the DAA may choose to grant an interim accreditation for
the system.
c. Withdrawal of Accreditation. The DAA must evaluate the risks and consider withdrawal of
accreditation if the protection measures approved for the system do not remain effective or
whenever any of the following items change: levels of concern, protection level, technical or
nontechnical protection measures, vulnerabilities, operational environment, operational
concept, or interconnections. The DAA must withdraw accreditation and ensure proper
sanitization when the system is no longer required to process classified information, or if the
operational need for the system no longer outweighs the risk of operating the system.
d. Invalidation of an Accreditation. An accreditation becomes invalid immediately whenever
detrimental, security-significant changes occur to any of the following: the required
protection level, the operational environment, the operational concept/mission, or the
interconnections.
e. Certification and Accreditation of Multiple Systems. If two or more similar information
systems are to be operated in equivalent operational environments (e.g., the levels of
concern and protection level are the same and the physical security requirements are
similar), the ISSO may write and the DAA may approve a Master ISSP to cover all such
information systems. The information systems covered by a Master ISSP may range from
personal computers up to and including multi-user information systems and local area
networks that meet the criteria for a Master ISSP approach.
(1) Master Systems Security Plan. The Master ISSP must conform to the ISSP
requirements in this Manual and specify the information required for each certification
for an information system to be accredited under the plan.
(2) Information Systems Certification Report (ISCR). The ISCR must contain–
(a) the information system’s identification,
(b) the information system’s location, and
(c) a statement signed by the ISSM certifying that the information system implements
the requirements in the Master ISSP.
Section 22
(3) The DAA must accredit the first information system under the Master ISSP. The
ISSM must certify that all other individual information systems to be operated under
the Master ISSP meet the conditions of the approved Master ISSP. This certification,
in effect, accredits the individual information systems to operate under the Master
ISSP. A copy of each certification report must be retained with the approved copy of
the Master ISSP.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 V-3 (and V-4)
8-3-99
(4) Recertification of Information Systems. All information systems certified under a
Master ISSP remain certified until the Master ISSP is changed or 3 years have
elapsed since the information system was certified. If either the levels of concern or
the protection level described in the Master ISSP changes, all information systems
certified under the Master ISSP must be recertified.
4. DESIGNATED APPROVING AUTHORITY.
a. Systems at Protection Level 5 or 6. Accreditation for systems at Protection Level 5 or 6
will require the concurrence of the ISPM.
b. Delegation of Approval Authority. The DAA may delegate approval authority provided
that–
(1) all delegations are in writing and for a specified time period not to exceed 3 years,
(2) the DAA (or his/her delegate) and the person certifying the system are not the same
person,
(3) the delegate cannot redelegate the approval authority, and
(4) the delegate is a DOE employee.
c. Systems under Multiple Designated Approving Authorities. For a system that involves
multiple DAAs, the ISPM, in coordination with the field, must designate the DAA. Each site
involved in the system must identify, in writing, the security officials to be responsible for
implementing information system protection on the system components at the site.
d. Director of Naval Reactors Program. For classified information systems networks that are
solely under the jurisdiction of the Director of Naval Reactors Program and whose external
components extend into the jurisdiction of different Naval Reactor Offices, the Director of
Naval Reactors Program must designate one of the Naval Reactor Office senior managers
to be the DAA. Notification of the accreditation of any information system with a protection
level of 4, 5, or 6 must be furnished to the ISPM.
5. DEVIATIONS. If it is impossible or impracticable to implement the protection requirements and
countermeasures described in this Manual, deviations (variances, waivers, or exceptions),
including alternative protection measures, must be requested under the procedures described in
DOE O 470.1.

CHAPTER VI
BASELINE REQUIREMENTS
1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter describes protection requirements common to all systems.
2. CLEARING AND SANITIZATION.
a. Clearing. All internal memory, buffer, or other reusable memory must be cleared to
effectively deny access to previously stored information. Detailed instructions on clearing
must be issued periodically by the ISPM.
b. Sanitization. Classified information systems resources must be sanitized before they are
released from classified information controls or released for use at a lower classification
level. Detailed instructions on sanitization must be issued periodically by the ISPM.
3. EXAMINATION OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. Information systems hardware and
software must be examined when received from the vendor and before being used.
Section 23
a. Information Systems Software. Commercially procured software must be tested to ensure
that it contains no obvious features that might be detrimental to the security of the
information system. Security-related software must be tested to ensure that the security
features function as specified.
b. Information Systems Hardware. The equipment must be examined to determine that it
appears to be in good working order and has no “parts” that might be detrimental to the
secure operation of the information system when placed under site control and cognizance.
Subsequent changes and developments that affect security may require additional
examination.
4. IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION MANAGEMENT. Identification and
authentication are required to ensure that users are associated with the proper security attributes,
such as identity, protection level, or location. Controls, such as biometrics or smart cards, may be
used at the discretion of the ISSO with approval of the ISSM and DAA.
a. Identifier Management. User identifiers must be managed in accordance with documented
procedures.
b. Authenticator Management. User authenticators must be managed in accordance with
documented procedures.
CANCELE
D
VI-2 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
c. Unique Identification. Each user must be uniquely identified and that identity must be
associated with all auditable actions taken by that individual.
d. Authentication at Logon. Users must be required to authenticate their identities at “logon”
time by supplying their authenticator, such as a password, smart card, or biometrics, in
conjunction with their user identification (ID) prior to the execution of any application or
utility on the system.
e. Access to Authentication Data. Access to authentication data must be restricted to
authorized personnel through the use of encryption, file access controls, or both.
f. User ID Reuse. Prior to reuse of a user ID, all previous access authorizations (including file
accesses for that user ID) must be removed from the system.
g. User ID Removal. When an employee leaves the sponsoring organization or loses access to
the system for cause, that individual’s user ID and authentication must be removed or
disabled from the system.
h. User ID Revalidation. All active user IDs must be revalidated at least annually, and
information such as sponsor and means of off-line contact (e.g., phone number, mailing
address) must be updated as necessary.
i. Protection of Authenticator. An authenticator in the form of knowledge (password) or
possession (smart card, keys) must not be shared with anyone.
j. Protection of Passwords. When passwords are used as authenticators, the following must
apply.
(1) Passwords must be protected at a level commensurate with the classification level and
most restrictive classification category of the information to which they allow access.
(2) Passwords must contain a minimum of six nonblank characters.
(3) Passwords must be generated by a method approved by the DAA. Password
acceptability must be based on the method of generation, the length of the password,
and the size of the password space. The password generation method, the length of
the password, and the size of the password space must be documented. In no case
must a user develop his/her own password.
(4) When an information system cannot prevent a password from being echoed (e.g., in a
half-duplex connection), an overprint mask must be printed before the password is
entered to conceal the typed password.
Section 24
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 VI-3
8-3-99
(5) User software, including operating system and other security-relevant software, comes
with a few standard authenticators (e.g., System, Test, Master) and passwords already
enrolled in the system. Passwords for all standard authenticators must be changed
before allowing the general user population access to the information system. These
passwords must be changed after a new system version is installed or after other action
is taken that might result in the restoration of these standard passwords.
(6) If the level of concern for confidentiality is low, the lifetime of a password must not
exceed 12 months. If the level of concern is medium or high, the lifetime of a
password must not exceed 6 months.
5. MAINTENANCE. Information systems are particularly vulnerable to security threats during
maintenance activities. The level of risk is a factor of the nature of the maintenance person’s
duties, the security awareness of the employees, and the maintenance person’s access to classified
information and facilities.
a. Cleared Maintenance Personnel. Personnel who perform maintenance on systems must be
cleared to the highest classification level of information on the system and indoctrinated for
all information processed on that system. Cleared personnel who perform maintenance or
diagnostics on information systems do not require an escort. When possible, however, an
appropriately cleared and technically knowledgeable, facility employee must be present
within the area where the maintenance is performed to ensure that proper security and safety
procedures are followed.
b. Uncleared (or Lower-Cleared) Maintenance Personnel.
(1) If appropriately cleared personnel are unavailable to perform maintenance, an
uncleared or lower-cleared person may be used, provided a fully cleared and
technically qualified escort monitors and records his/her activities in a maintenance log.
(2) If maintenance personnel are uncleared, system initiation and termination must be
performed by the fully cleared and technically qualified escort. In addition, their
keystrokes must be monitored during their access to the system.
(3) Prior to maintenance by uncleared personnel, the information system must be
completely cleared and all nonvolatile data storage media must be removed or
physically disconnected and secured. When a system cannot be cleared, ISSM-
approved procedures must be enforced to deny the uncleared individual visual and
electronic access to any classified or sensitive data contained on the system.
(4) A separate, unclassified copy of the operating system, including any micro-coded
floppy disks or cassettes integral to the operating system, must be used for all
maintenance operations performed by uncleared personnel. The copy must be labeled
CANCELE
D
VI-4 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
“UNCLASSIFIED — FOR MAINTENANCE ONLY” and protected in accordance
with documented procedures. Maintenance procedures for an information system
using a nonremovable storage device on which the operating system is resident must be
considered by the ISSM on a case-by-case basis.
c. General Maintenance Requirements.
(1) The ISOM must identify the need for, and format of, a maintenance log.
(2) Systems maintenance must be performed on site whenever possible. Equipment
repaired off site and intended for reintroduction into a facility may require protection
from association with that particular facility or program.
Section 25
(3) If systems or system components are removed from the facility for repair, they must
first be purged and downgraded to an appropriate level or sanitized of all classified and
sensitive data and declassified in accordance with ISSM-approved procedures. The
ISSO must approve the release of all systems and all parts removed from the system.
(4) Introduction of network analyzers (e.g., sniffers) that would allow maintenance
personnel to monitor keystrokes must be approved by the DAA prior to being
introduced into an information system. The DAA must approve use of these devices
by uncleared maintenance personnel when a system cannot be cleared or sanitized of
all classified and sensitive data. The ISSM must approve use of these devices by
maintenance personnel who are cleared to the highest classification level processed by
the system.
(5) If maintenance personnel bring into a facility diagnostic test programs (e.g.,
software/firmware used for maintenance or diagnostics), the following procedures must
be implemented.
(a) The media containing the programs must be checked for malicious codes before
the media are connected to the system.
(b) The media must remain within the facility and must be stored and controlled at
the level of the information system.
(c) Prior to entering the facility, maintenance personnel must be advised that they will
not be allowed to remove media from the facility.
(d) If this procedure cannot be followed because of special circumstances, the
following must occur each time the diagnostic test media are introduced into a
facility.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 VI-5
8-3-99
1 The media must undergo stringent integrity checks (e.g., virus scanning,
checksum, etc.) prior to being used on the information system.
2 Before leaving the facility, the media must be checked to ensure that no
classified information has been written on the media.
3 The DAA must approve the revised procedure.
(6) All diagnostic equipment and other devices carried into a facility by maintenance
personnel must be handled as follows.
(a) Systems and system components being brought into the facility must be inspected
for improper modification.
(b) Before being released, maintenance equipment capable of retaining information
must be appropriately sanitized by procedures issued by the ISPM. If the
equipment cannot be sanitized, the equipment must remain within the facility, be
destroyed, or be released under procedures approved by the DAA.
(c) Replacement components may be brought into the facility to swap with facility
components; however, any component placed into an information system must
remain in the facility until proper release procedures are completed. Any
component not placed in an information system may be released from the facility
provided the component was under control of a trained escort or reviewed under
approved procedures.
(d) Communication devices with transmit capability (e.g., pagers, RF LAN
connections, etc.) belonging to the maintenance personnel or any data storage
media not required for the maintenance visit must remain outside the system
facility and be returned to the maintenance personnel when they leave the facility.
(7) Maintenance changes that affect the security of the system must receive a configuration
management review.
(8) After maintenance has been performed, the security features on the information
systems must be checked and documented to ensure they are still functioning properly.
d. Remote Maintenance.
Section 26
(1) Remote diagnostic maintenance service may be provided by a service or organization
that does provide the same level and category(ies) of security. The communications
links connecting the components of the systems, associated data communications, and
CANCELE
D
VI-6 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
networks must be protected in accordance with national policies and procedures
applicable to the sensitivity level of the data being transmitted.
(2) If remote diagnostic or maintenance services are required from an organization that
does not provide the same level of security required for the system being maintained,
the following procedures must be implemented.
(a) The information system must be sanitized and in a stand-alone mode prior to
connection of the remote-access line.
(b) If the system cannot be sanitized (e.g., due to a system crash), remote diagnostic
and maintenance services must not be allowed.
(c) The ISSO must initiate and terminate the remote access.
(d) Keystrokes must be monitored on all remote diagnostic or maintenance services.
Before beginning remote diagnostics/maintenance activities, maintenance
technicians performing these activities must be advised (contractually, verbally,
by banner, etc.) that keystroke monitoring must be performed.
(e) A technically qualified person must review the maintenance log to ensure the
detection of unauthorized changes.
(f) Maintenance personnel accessing the information systems at the remote site must
be cleared to the highest level of information processed on that system prior to
sanitization.
(g) Procedures for installing and using remote diagnostic links must be approved by
the DAA.
(h) An audit log of all remote maintenance, diagnostic, and service transactions must
be maintained and periodically reviewed. This review must be documented.
(i) Other techniques to consider include encryption and decryption of diagnostic
communications, strong identification and authentication techniques (e.g., tokens),
and remote disconnect verification.
(3) System maintenance requirements and vulnerabilities must be addressed during all
phases of the system life cycle. Specifically, contract negotiations must consider the
security implications of system maintenance.
6. MALICIOUS CODE.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 VI-7
8-3-99
a. Site Policies. Policies and procedures to detect and deter incidents caused by malicious
code, such as viruses or unauthorized modification to software, must be implemented.
b. Personal Software. The use of software purchased or developed by an individual for
personal use is discouraged. If such software is required or desired to enhance the
information system operation, each installation of the software must be approved in
accordance with site policies.
c. Public Domain Software. The use of public domain software is strongly discouraged. If
such software is required or needed to enhance system operation, procedures must be
implemented to carefully examine this software for malicious code before it is introduced into
the information system environment.
7. MARKING HARDWARE, OUTPUT, AND MEDIA. Markings on hardware, output, and
media must conform to instructions issued by the ISPM. If the required marking is impractical or
interferes with operation of the media, the DAA may approve alternate marking procedures. The
alternate marking procedures must be documented.
Section 27
a. Hardware Components. Procedures must be implemented to ensure that all components of
an information system, including input/output devices, terminals, stand-alone
microprocessors, or word processors used as terminals, bear a conspicuous, external label
that states the highest classification level and most restrictive classification category of the
information accessible to the component in the information system. This labeling may be
accomplished using permanent markings on the component, a sign placed on the terminal, or
labels generated by the information system and displayed on the screen.
b. Hard-Copy Output. Hard-copy output includes paper, fiche, film, and other printed media.
The accreditation level of the accredited information system must be marked on all hard-
copy output that is retained in, or distributed from, the facility unless an appropriate
classification review has been conducted or the information has been generated by a tested
program verified to produce consistent results and approved by the DAA. Such programs
will be tested on a statistical basis to ensure continuing performance. Once hard copy has
been reviewed by an authorized classifier, it must be marked in accordance with DOE M
471.2-1B, CLASSIFIED MATTER PROTECTION AND CONTROL MANUAL.
c. Removable Media. Procedures must be implemented to ensure that personnel handling
removable media apply visible, human-readable, external markings to the media.
Removable media must be marked with the accreditation level of the information system
unless an appropriate classification review has been conducted, or the information on the
media has been generated by a tested program or methodology verified to produce
consistent results and approved by the DAA.
CANCELE
D
VI-8 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
d. Unclassified Media. In facilities where some of the information systems are operated as
classified and some are dedicated to unclassified operation, removable unclassified media
must be uniquely marked to prevent them from being mixed with classified media.
8. PERSONNEL SECURITY. Personnel with system access play an integral role in protecting
information, defining their system security policies, and maintaining and monitoring the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability attributes that are inherent within their information systems.
Personnel directly involved with a system may be users, operators, administrators,
Communications Security (COMSEC) custodians, and installers/maintainers. Duties,
responsibilities, privileges, and specific limitations of information systems users, both general and
privileged, must be specified in writing. So far as feasible, security duties must be distributed to
preclude any one individual from adversely affecting operations or the integrity of the system.
a. Access Approvals. Individuals requiring access to classified information must be processed
for access authorization in accordance with DOE O 472.1B, PERSONNEL SECURITY
ACTIVITIES.
(1) For systems that process classified information at Protection Level 1, 2, or 3,
individuals must be cleared to the highest level of classification processed on that
system. For Protection Level 4, 5, or 6 systems, individuals need only be cleared for
the information to which they are allowed access.
(2) For Protection Level 1 or 2 systems, the individuals must have all required formal
access approval(s) for all information on the systems. For Protection Level 3, 4, 5, or
6 systems, individuals need formal access approval for only that information to which
they are allowed access.
Section 28
b. General Users.
(1) General users must–
(a) access only the data, control information, and software for which they are
authorized access and have a need-to-know;
(b) immediately report all security incidents and potential threats and vulnerabilities
involving the information system to the appropriate ISSO;
(c) protect their authenticators and report any compromise or suspected
compromise of an authenticator to the appropriate ISSO;
(d) ensure that system media and system output are properly classified, marked,
controlled, and stored;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 VI-9
8-3-99
(e) protect terminals from unauthorized access;
(f) inform the ISSO when access to a particular information system is no longer
required (e.g., completion of a project, transfer, retirement, resignation);
(g) observe rules and regulations governing the secure operation and authorized use
of information systems; and
(h) use the information system only for official Government business.
(2) General users must not attempt to–
(a) introduce malicious code into any information system or physically damage the
system;
(b) bypass, strain, or test security mechanisms (if security mechanisms must be
bypassed for any reason, users must coordinate the procedure with the ISSO
and receive written permission from the ISSM for the procedure); any ongoing
or regular bypass of security mechanisms must be approved by the DAA;
(c) introduce or use unauthorized software, firmware, or hardware on an information
system;
(d) assume the roles and privileges of others and attempt to gain access to
information for which they have no authorization; and
(e) relocate information system equipment without proper authorization.
c. Privileged Users.

CHAPTER VIII
REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS
1. INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT. The characteristics and capabilities of
classified information systems implemented as networks require special protection considerations.
This chapter imposes additional requirements on a network or expands on the protection
requirements stated in Chapters VI and VII as they apply to a network.
a. When connecting two or more networks, the DAA(s) must review the security attributes of
each network (even if the networks are accredited at the same protection level) to determine
whether the combination of data and/or the combination of users on the connected network
requires a higher protection level.
b. A unified network is a connected collection of systems or networks that are accredited (1)
under a single ISSP, (2) as a single entity, and (3) by a single DAA. Such a network can
be as simple as a small stand-alone LAN operating at Protection Level 1, following a single
security policy, accredited as a single entity, and administered by a single ISSO.
Conversely, it can be as complex as a collection of hundreds of LANs separated over a
wide area but still following a single security policy, accredited as a single entity by a single
DAA. The perimeter of each network encompasses all its hardware, software, and
attached devices. Its boundary extends to all of its users.
c. An interconnected network is comprised of two or more separately accredited systems
and/or networks. Each separately accredited system or network maintains its own intra-
system services and controls, protects its own resources, and retains its individual
accreditation. Each participating system or network has its own ISSO. The interconnected
network must have an SSS capable of adjudicating the different security policy
implementations of the participating systems or unified networks. An interconnected
network also requires accreditation as a unit.
d. Systems that process information at differing classification levels or with differing
compartmentation (i.e., at least two kinds of information that require different formal access
approvals) can be interconnected if–
(1) they are interconnected through a controlled interface (as defined below) that provides
the separation appropriate to the combination of the level(s) and compartment(s) being
processed on both systems;
Section 40
(2) both systems are operating at the same protection level (both systems must be
accredited to protect the information being transferred); or
CANCELE
D
VIII-2 DOE M 471.2-2
8-3-99
(3) both systems are accredited to process the level(s) and compartment(s) of information
that they will receive, and at least one system is accredited to provide appropriate
separation for the information being transferred.
e. Any classified information system connected to another system that does not meet either
Paragraph 1d(2) or 1d(3) above must use a controlled interface(s) that performs the
following.
(1) A communication of lower classification level from within the system perimeter must be
reviewed for classification before being released.
(2) A classified communication from within the system perimeter must have the body and
attachments of the communication encrypted with the appropriate level of encryption
for the information, transmission medium, and target system.
(3) Communications from outside the system perimeter must have an authorized user as
the addressee (i.e., the controlled interface must notify the user of the communication
and release the communication only on request from the user). If classified information
exists in the communication, it must be encrypted with the appropriate level of
encryption for the information, transmission medium, and target system.
2. CONTROLLED INTERFACE FUNCTIONS.
a. The functions of the controlled interface include–
(1) providing a secure point of interconnection between networks, connected peripheral
devices, remote terminals, or remote hosts;
(2) providing a reliable exchange of security-related information; and
(3) filtering information in a data stream based on associated security labels for data
content.
b. Controlled interfaces have several characteristics including the following.
(1) There are no general users on the controlled interface
(2) There is no user code running on the controlled interface.
(3) The controlled interface provides a protected conduit for the transfer of user data.
(4) Communications from outside the perimeter of the system must be reviewed for viruses
and other malicious code.
3. CONTROLLED INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS. The controlled interface must have the
following properties.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-2 VIII-3 (and VIII-4)
8-3-99
a. Adjudicated Differences. The controlled interface must be implemented to monitor and
enforce the network protection requirements and to adjudicate the differences in security
policies.
b. Routing Decisions. The controlled interface must base its routing decisions on information
that is supplied or alterable only by the SSS.
c. Restrictive Protection Requirements. The controlled interface must support the protection
requirements of the most restrictive of the attached networks or information systems.
d. User Code. The controlled interface must not run any user code.
e. Fail-secure. The controlled interface must be implemented so that all possible failures must
result in no loss of confidentiality or unacceptable exposure to loss of integrity or availability.
f. Communication Limits. The controlled interface must ensure that communication policies
and connections that are not explicitly permitted are prohibited.
Section 41
g. Technical Protection Requirements. The technical protection requirements for Protection
Level 3 are usually adequate for the platform on which the controlled interface is operating.
In general, such systems have only privileged users; that is, system administrators and
maintainers. The controlled interface may have a large number of clients; that is, individuals
who use the controlled interface’s functional capabilities in a severely constrained way. The
controlled interface application itself must provide the more stringent technical protections
appropriate for the system’s protection level. Multiple applications do not affect the overall
protection provided by the controlled interface if each application (and the resources
associated with it) is protected from unauthorized access or circumvention from other
applications or users.
4. ASSURANCES FOR CONTROLLED INTERFACES. Each controlled interface must be
tested and evaluated to ensure that the controlled interface, as implemented, can provide the
separation required for the system’s protection level. Specifically, the platform on which the
controlled interface runs does not necessarily have to provide the needed separation alone.
