Your badge color indicates your particular affiliation with NSA and your levelof clearance. Listed below are explanations of the badge colors you are mostlikely to see: Green (*) Fully cleared NSA employees and certain military assignees. Orange (*) (or Gold) Fully cleared representative of other government agencies. Black (*) Fully cleared contractors or consultants. Blue Employees who are cleared to the SECRET level while awaiting completion of their processing for full (TS/SI) clearance. These Limited Interim Clearance (LIC) employees are restricted to certain activities while inside a secure area. Red Clearance level is not specified, so assume the holder is uncleared. * - Fully cleared status means that the person has been cleared to the TopSecret (TS) level and indoctrinated for Special Intelligence (SI). All badges with solid color backgrounds (permanent badges) are kept byindividuals until their NSA employment or assignment ends. Striped badges("non-retention" badges) are generally issued to visitors and are returned tothe Security Protective Officer upon departure from an NSA facility. Area Control Within NSA installations there are generally two types of areas,Administrative and Secure. An Administrative Area is one in which storage ofclassified information is not authorized, and in which discussions of aclassified nature are forbidden. This type of area would include thecorridors, restrooms, cafeterias, visitor control areas, credit union, barbershop, and drugstore. Since uncleared, non-NSA personnel are often present inthese areas, all Agency personnel must ensure that no classified information isdiscussed in an Administrative Area. Classified information being transported within Agency facilities must beplaced within envelopes, folders, briefcases, etc. to ensure that its contentsor classification markings are not disclosed to unauthorized persons, or thatmaterials are not inadvertently dropped enroute. The normal operational work spaces within an NSA facility are designated SecureAreas. These areas are approved for classified discussions and for the storageof classified material. Escorts must be provided if it is necessary foruncleared personnel (repairmen, etc.) to enter Secure Areas, an all personnelwithin the areas must be made aware of the presence of uncleared individuals.All unknown, unescorted visitors to Secure Areas should be immediatelychallenged by the personnel within the area, regardless of the visitors'clearance level (as indicated by their badge color). The corridor doors of these areas must be locked with a deadbolt and allclassified information in the area must be properly secured after normalworking hours or whenever the area is unoccupied. When storing classifiedmaterial, the most sensitive material must be stored in the most securecontainers. Deadbolt keys for doors to these areas must be returned to the keydesk at the end of the workday. For further information regarding Secure Areas, consult the Physical SecurityDivision (M51) or your staff Security Officer. Items Treated As Classified For purposes of transportation, storage and destruction, there are certaintypes of items which must be treated as classified even though they may notcontain classified information. Such items include carbon paper, vu-graphs,punched machine processing cards, punched paper tape, magnetic tape, computerfloppy disks, film, and used typewriter ribbons. This special treatment isnecessary since a visual examination does not readily reveal whether the itemscontain classified information.
