AFFIXING OF CLASSIFICATION AND MARKINGS

Classification and markings shall be applied as follows:

Appropriate identification and classification markings need to be adapted to the specific physical appearances of the media, to enable it to be clearly recognised.

The EU classifications and markings shall be applied as established in Section II and appear at the top and bottom centre of each page, and each page shall be numbered.

All computer storage media shall be handled in a manner commensurate with the highest classification of the stored information or the media label, and at all times shall be appropriately protected.

All information and material which allow access control to a SYSTEM shall be protected under arrangements commensurate with the highest classification and the category designation of the information to which it may give access.

Other security features (for example, physical, personnel and procedural) shall conform to the requirements for the highest classification level and all category designations of the information handled within the SYSTEM.

Additional markings such as CRYPTO or any other EU-recognised special handling designator, shall apply where there is a need for limited distribution and special handling in addition to that designated by the security classification.

All information handled or being available to a SYSTEM under this mode of operation, together with output generated, shall be protected as potentially of the information category designation and of the highest classification level being handled until determined otherwise, unless there is an acceptable level of trust that can be placed in any labelling functionality present.

CLASSIFICATIONS, SECURITY DESIGNATORS AND MARKINGS

All information and material which allow access control to a system shall be protected under arrangements commensurate with the highest classification and the category designation of the information to which it may give access.

Other security features (for example, physical, personnel and procedural) shall conform to the requirements for the highest classification level and all category designations of the information handled within the system.

All information handled or being available to a system under this mode of operation, together with output generated, shall be protected as potentially of the information category designation and of the highest classification level being handled until determined otherwise, unless there is an acceptable level of trust that can be placed in any labelling functionality present.
