Vulnerability discussion

Lack of formal designation of an individual to be responsible for COMSEC items could result in mismanagement, loss or even compromise of COMSEC materials. Additionally, lack of formal vetting for a specific individual to be appointed for management of COMSEC material could result in a person (such as a non-US Citizen) having unauthorized access.

Check content

Check there is a current COMSEC Custodian appointment letter or verify there is a Hand Receipt Holder for COMSEC key material received from a supporting account. NOTE: Ensure that any COMSEC account, materials or equipment being inspected is used for encryption of DISN assets. COMSEC accounts or items not used with DISN assets should not be inspected.

Fix text

A person must be identified and appointed in writing to be either the COMSEC custodian or a COMSEC Hand Receipt Holder. Alternates must also be appointed in writing.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
