Questions and answers
When may alternative compensatory control measures be established?
ACCMs may be established only in accordance with Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 5200.1R and only for intelligence and operations and support, when information requires enforcement of strict need to know but does not rise to the level requiring SAP protection. (paragraph 1-4)
Are alternative compensatory control measures authorized for acquisition programs?
ACCMs are not authorized to protect acquisition programs. (paragraph 1-4)
Does a security clearance alone justify access to SAP information?
Possession of a valid security clearance does not by itself justify access to SAP information. Individuals must have a valid need to know and approval from the program ACA or designated access approval authority for access to a SAP (see para 54).
Who may authorize storage of a compilation of Army SAPs in one location?
The TMO is the only office authorized in the Army to store in one location a list or compilation of all Army SAPS to include a briefing that outlines all Army SAPs, or all Army SAPs in a single category (without waiver). (paragraph 2-31)
What must programs do before releasing classified SAP information?
Programs must not release any classified SAP information to the public or to any individual not approved for access without written approval from the SA.
