What triggers the 'Change in Storage Capability' report?

• A. A change in storage personnel
• B. Initial acquisition of an approved storage container that raises or lowers the level of classification safeguarded
• C. A change in building layout
• D. A security incident

Answer: (B)

Changes to how classified information can be stored are what this report tracks. When storage capability changes, the safeguards and handling requirements tied to that material may also change, so you document and reassess accordingly. The trigger is the initial acquisition of an approved storage container that raises or lowers the level of classification safeguarded because a new container can come with different security controls, access restrictions, and storage conditions. Other events like changes in storage personnel, building layout, or a security incident may affect safeguarding in other ways, but they do not by themselves constitute a change in storage capability for the purpose of this report.
