There’s a great deal of speculation as to government or military programs that exist under SCI classification in particular – and this is where conspiracy theorists have a field day – but this classification is often very important for military research projects where scientists and technicians have a critical need to know specific aspects or components of a technology design, but really have no need to know the scope of the entire project. This means that even if one holds Top Secret clearance, they would not have access to SCI or SAP information. SCI – Sensitive Compartmented Information There are two types of information that fall under this category. Technically, these additional levels really are above and beyond the Top Secret clearance. Top Secret is the highest level, and while there is no official level called “Above Top Secret”, what can cause confusion (and why many scammers get away with their scam) is because there are extra protection measures that are in place beyond top secret and many official documents have actually referred to those levels as “above” Top Secret. – Top Secret: The highest security clearance available, this information has the potential for unauthorized disclosure to cause grave damage to the national security. Many private corporation contractors who work on military or government contracts need to have Secret clearance in order to perform their work, sometimes simply because they will be working at a facility where they could potentially see or hear information classified as “Secret.” – Secret: Any information where unauthorized disclosure could cause serious damage to the national security. This is considered the lowest security clearance. – Confidential: Any information where unauthorized disclosure could cause damage to the national security. These three general levels of classification are as follows. There are three basic levels of security classification, regardless of whether you work for the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Energy (DOE), or any other department or agency within the U.S. The information they are set up to protect might be, but anyone who tells you otherwise is pulling your leg. Those very real security levels are also detailed below. There’s certainly information that people might consider above the level of Top Secret because the information is so sensitive that unauthorized disclosure could cause such a high level of harm to the national security, but the official name of such clearance is only sometimes referred to as “Above Top Secret”.
