Foreign National (FN) Physical Access Control - (Identification Badges)
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Failure to limit access to information visible on system monitor screens in mixed US/FN environments can result in FN personnel having unauthorized access to classified information, which can result in the loss or compromise of classified information, including NOFORN information. Physically co-locating REL Partners or other FN - who have limited access to the SIPRNet or other US Classified systems - near US personnel in a collateral classified (Secret) open storage area or in a Secret Controlled Access Area (CAA) that processes classified material is permissible for operational efficiency and coordination. Appropriate but simple physical and procedural security measures must be put in place to ensure the FN partners do not have unauthorized access to information not approved for release to them. Ensuring that US employees can clearly identify FN workers is an important control measure and can be accomplished by requiring the FN employees or partners to wear picture identification badges that clearly identify their affiliated / represented Country. Wearing of Country specific military uniforms also can be used.

1. "Foreign" local nationals (LN) hired by DOD organizations overseas IAW the applicable SOFA must be issued and wear identification/access badges that clearly distinguish them as foreign national employees.
2. REL Partners and FN Liaison and Exchange personnel in both OCONUS and CONUS locations must also be provided and wear identification/access badges that clearly distinguish them as foreign national partners.
If practical they should also be required to wear the military uniform of their host country - although FN out of uniform should not be an automatic finding.
