This SBU Order introduces relevant amendments to the Summary of Information Constituting State Secrets (ZVDT), adapting it to contemporary security challenges. The document expands the list of classified information, particularly in the defense and scientific spheres, and clarifies the authority of specific state bodies. The amendments are aimed at strengthening the protection of information regarding the employment of unmanned systems and defense procurement.<\/p>\n
**Structure and Key Provisions:**
\nThe Order consists of a regulatory section and an annex containing the direct amendments to the ZVDT. The main adjustments concern:
\n* **Terminology:** The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) has been added as a state expert, and the list of objects of state security has been clarified.
\n* **Defense Sector:** A new article, 1.1.13, has been introduced, which classifies data on the planning and execution of tasks by unmanned systems (aerial, ground, and maritime).
\n* **Procurement and Science:** Provisions regarding the classification of consolidated defense procurement plans and the results of scientific research of defense significance have been updated (with the inclusion of the MES in the list of responsible authorities).
\n* **Special Communications and Intelligence:** Criteria for the classification of cryptographic protection tools and conspiracy measures of intelligence agencies have been clarified.<\/p>\n
**Important Provisions for Implementation:**
\nFor specialists working within a classified regime, the following points are key:
\n1. **Unmanned Systems:** A strict security classification (Top Secret\/Secret) has been introduced for any information regarding the employment of unmanned systems (UAVs, ground and maritime drones) at operational and strategic depths. This is critically important for military units and unmanned systems subunits.
\n2. **Expansion of Authority:** The MES is now officially included in the list of authorities entitled to assign a security classification to the results of scientific research of defense significance.
\n3. **Defense Procurement:** Article 1.4.16 now clearly stipulates that the degree of secrecy for consolidated three-year procurement plans is determined by an official based on the importance of the subject of procurement, which requires performers to take a meticulous approach to the assessment of each specific document.
\n4. **Crypto-Protection:** Article 4.10.11 establishes a clear differentiation of security classification levels (Top Secret or Secret) depending on the scale of data concerning cryptographic protection tools (from the national level to the level of an individual institution).<\/p>\n
