New Microsoft Word Document_executed alclearllc_page009.jpg Definitions Sensitive Information, as used in this a1ticle, means any information, the loss, misuse, disclosure,or unautho rized access to or modification of which could adversely affect the national or homeland security interest, or the conduct of Federa l programs, or the pr ivacy to which individuals are entitled under section 552a of title 5, United States Code (the Privacy Act), but which has not been specifically authori zed under criteria established by an Execut ive Order or an Act of Congress to be kept secret in the interest of nationa l defense, homeland security or foreign pol icy. This definition includes the following categories of infonn ation: )"Personally Identifiab l e Information (Pll)" means i nfonnat ion that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security num ber, or biometric records, either alone, or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of birth, or mother's maiden name. The definition of PII is not anchored to any singl e category of infonnat ion or technology. Rather, it requires a case-by-case assessment of the specific risk that an individua l can be identified . In perfonning this assessment, it is important for an agency to recognize that non-personally identifiable information can become personally identifiable information whenever additional information is made publ icly avai lable-in any medium and from any source-that, combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual. Pll is a subset of sensitive i nfonnat ion. Examples of Pll incl ude, but are not l imited to: name, date of birth, mailing address, telephone number, Social Security number (SSN), email address, zip code, account numbers, certificate/license numbers, vehicle identifiers including license plates, uniform resource locators (URLs), static Internet protocol addresses, biometr ic identifiers such as fingerprint, vo iceprint, iris scan, photograph ic facial images, or any other un ique identifying number or characteristi c,and any in fonnation where it is reasonably foreseeable that the info1mation will be linked with other information to identify the individual. Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) as set out in the Critical Infrastructure Information Act of2002 (Title II, Subtitle B, of the Homeland Security Act, Public Law 107-296, 196 Stat. 2 135), as amended, the implementing regulations thereto (Title 6. Code of Federa l Regulations, Part 29) as amended, the applicable PCll Procedures Manual,as amended , and any supplementary guidance officially communicated by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security (including the PCII Program Manager or his/her designee); Sensitive Security Information (SSI), as defined in Title 49. Code of Federal Regulations. Pait 1520,as amended, "Policies and Procedures of Safeguarding and Contro l of SSI," as amended, and any supplementary guidance officially commun icated by an authorized omcial or the Department of Homeland Security (including the Assistant Secretary for the Transportation Security Administration or his/her designee); Information designated as ''For Official Use Only," which is unclassified information ofa sensitive nature and the unauthorized disclosure of which could adversely impact a

 

 

 

New Microsoft Word Document_executed alclearllc_page010.jpg person's privacy or wel fare, the conduct of Federa l programs, or other programs or operations essential to the national or homeland securit y interest; and Any information that is designated "sensitive" or subject to other controls, safe1:,'Uards or protections in accordance with subsequently adopted homeland security information handling procedures . "Sensitive lnfom1ation Incident" is an incident that includes the known, potential , or suspected exposure,loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, or unautl1orized access or attempted access of any Govenunent system, OTA Enti ty system, or sensitive infonnation. Sensitive Persona lly Identifiable lnfonnation (SPll)" is a subset of Pll, wh ich if lost, comprom ised or discl osed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment , inconvenience, or unfairness lo an indiv idual. Some fonns of PII are sensitive as stand-alone elements. Examples of such PU include: Social Security numbers (SSN), driver's license or state identification number, Alien Registration Num bers (A-number), financia l account number, and biometr ic identifiers such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan. Add itiona l examples include any groupings of infonnation that contain an individua l 's name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements: (I) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Truncated SSN (such as last 4 digits) Date of birth (month, day, and ye.ar) Citizensh ip or immigration status Ethnic or religious affi liation Sexual orientation Criminal History Medical Information System authentication informa tion such as mother's maiden name,account passwords or persona l identification numbers (PIN) Other PII may be "sensitive" depending on its context,such as a l ist of empl oyees and their perfonnance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast,a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains Pil but is not sensitive. "Information Technology Resources" include, but are not l imited to,computer equ ipment, networking equipment,telecommunications equipment, cabl ing, network dri ves, computer drives, network software, computer software, software programs, intranet sites, and internet sites.
