Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC) Practice Test

When requesting disclosure of classified information during visits, which of the following is NOT required?

1. An explanation of the government purpose

2. The subject and classification level of the meeting

3. Expected time and location of the meeting

4. The main content of the invitation to participants

The correct answer is: Expected time and location of the meeting

When requesting disclosure of classified information during visits, the details provided in the request are essential for ensuring that appropriate security measures are maintained and that the classified information remains protected. The option that is not required involves the expected time and location of the meeting. While knowing when and where a meeting will occur can be important for logistical reasons, it does not directly pertain to the security protocols involved in the handling of classified information. The focus when handling classified disclosures is primarily on the purpose of the government activity, the subject matter to be discussed, and who will be present, as this ensures there is a clear understanding of the information being shared and the appropriate security measures in place. In contrast, providing an explanation of the government purpose, the subject and classification level of the meeting, and the main content of the invitation to participants are crucial elements that help to assess the need-to-know basis and the rationale behind disclosing classified information. These components ensure that all attendees are properly vetted and aware of the sensitivity of the material to be discussed.
