All employees are provided with the necessary resources to identify the functions that affect their work environment. They not only have the information required, but also understand their individual responsibility to guard and protect these assets. An open environment supports the Berkeley Lab mission. As a Tier Three Laboratory, it is vital that collaborative research be conducted with Tier One and Tier Two laborato ries, as well as with industry, universities, and the international scientific community. The Laboratory must be open and accessible.
Security is a value-added activity supporting research and support operations .
Security must support the Laboratory s mission. Security controls are tailored to individual and facility requirements . Each division will designate a security point of contact. The point of contact will develop both individual and group approaches for Laboratory security requirements. Not every aspect of security requirements, such as counter intelligence issues or export control require ments, will affect every individual or group.
