Which document governs access to SCI?

Which document governs access to SCI?

• A. ICD 704
• B. ICPG 704.1
• C. ICPG 704.3
• D. 32 CFR Part 117

Answer: (A)

Access to Sensitive Compartmented Information is governed by a policy that specifically sets who may access SCI and how that access must be safeguarded. The Intelligence Community Directive 704 provides the current rules for SCI eligibility, need-to-know, compartmentalization, and handling, making it the authoritative source for who can access SCI and under what controls. Older ICPG guidance (704.1 and 704.3) has been superseded by ICD 704, so they are not the controlling documents today. The 32 CFR Part 117 covers broader information security program requirements and does not establish the specific access criteria for SCI, while ICPG 704.1/704.3 are legacy policies that ICD 704 supersedes.
