How must the classification level of information in a SAP facility relate to the facility security clearance?

In a Special Access Program (SAP) facility, the classification level of information must not exceed the facility's security clearance. This ensures that all individuals working within the facility have the necessary access and clearance to engage with the classified information present. Allowing information classified at a higher level than the facility's clearance could lead to unauthorized individuals accessing sensitive data, which poses risks to national security and compromise the integrity of the SAP.

Thus, aligning the classification level of information with the established security clearance of the facility is essential for maintaining secure operations. This practice safeguards against potential vulnerabilities and ensures that all personnel have the appropriate authority and training to handle the information they are exposed to within the SAP environment.
