1.0 PURPOSE

  • All Sandia Family Day hosts, family members, and guests must follow Sandia's Family Day security procedures.

6.0 OPSEC

  • Because we live in a free and open society, where information on almost everything is readily accessible, we tend to be oblivious to the dangers of openly discussing or disposing of sensitive information or disseminating unclassified information that we think might be helpful or interesting to a "friend". What we may not realize is that all of these bits of unclassified information can fit together to form a complete picture, thus giving away our country's most prized information.
  • Any department that will be having a display for Family Day is required to schedule an OPSEC review by Winalee Carter and Trent Olaveson. The OPSEC reviews will start Tuesday, September 7.
  • On Friday, September 10, all personnel will complete an OPSEC review of their work areas prior to leaving for the weekend.
  • What to look for:


    • Financial or purchasing documents

    • Travel documents

    • Distribution lists

    • Position or "job" announcements

    • Blueprints or drawings

    • Shipping and receiving documents

    • Personal information

    • All types of UCI (Unclassified Controlled Information)

  • Areas to check:
    • Desk Top
