Classified Information

Classified information refers to data or documents that are restricted from public access due to their sensitive nature. This information is often related to national security, military operations, or sensitive government activities. It is categorized based on the level of potential harm its disclosure could cause, such as "Confidential," "Secret," or "Top Secret." Access to classified information is typically limited to authorized personnel who have undergone background checks and security clearances, ensuring that it is protected from unauthorized access to safeguard national interests and maintain security.
