Remediation - Manual Procedure
All assigned personnel granted access to classified information must have a signed NDA on record. The execution of an NDA must be annotated in the DISS and a signed hard copy MAY also be available locally.
Personnel who transfer from other units or organizations will not necessarily have a signed hard-copy NDA on file locally since they are only required to sign the NDA once, but it MUST be reflected in DISS.
If an NDA is not annotated in DISS and a hard copy is not on hand locally, a new SF 312 must be executed and annotated in DISS.
