OPSEC is a process used to protect sensitive information from exploitation by an adversary. Sensitive information, which is also referred to as Critical Information and Indicators(CII), is defined as information that needs to be protected from unauthorized disclosure whether classified or unclassified. What is an OPSEC Plan?
An OPSEC plan is used to record, identify and monitor the contractor’s OPSEC activities during the performance of the contract. After award but prior to availability start date, this OPSEC Plan must be signed by the Prime contractor and forwarded to the assigned contracting official by encrypted email, through the approved Department of Defense Safe(DoD) Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) at https://safe.apps.mil, or by United States Postal Service. Consideration shall be given depending on the type of work being performed, the environment, and circumstances in which contract performance will occur. In some cases, an OPSEC Plan will be required.
