Classification Levels Reference

This page serves as a reference for the official SIA Classification Levels system used in all official SIA documents and missions. Please make sure to refer to this page whenever dealing with classified documents/missions. Most of the files on this wiki are classified to some extent. Read this page carefully even if you are an agent or member to avoid unwanted serious consequences.

Please note that classification levels range from top secret (Level 1) to least concern (Level 10). All classified documents will have a classified watermark on them. Mission pages will have classified indicators on them.

## All levels description

### Classified Level 1:

The document contains many assorted trade secrets and SIA information inside. It has the names of numerous SIA members or agents, or contains references to top-secret or classified SIA operations. **Above all, only SIA agents are allowed to access these documents in the first place.** Currently, we do not allow SIA operations or documents with a classification level below 4 to be released onto this website, because of the humungous security risks associated with doing so.

### Classified Level 2:

The document or mission contains numerous references to SIA members or agents, and it could pose a serious security risk if leaked. While the consequences for leaking a CL2 document aren't quite as serious for a CL1, it is best advised at only SIA agents handle these top-secret documents. Currently, we do not allow SIA operations or documents with a classification level below 4 to be released onto this website, because of the humungous security risks associated with doing so.

### Classified Level 3:

This document or mission contains some references to SIA members or agents, but it doesn't have quite as many trade secrets or top-secret information as CL1 or CL2 documents. It is still best advised that you do not share this document ANYWHERE online at all. SIA members could handle these documents, but should exercise care when doing so. Currently, we do not allow SIA operations or documents with a classification level below 4 to be released onto this website, because of the humungous security risks associated with doing so.

### Classified Level 4:

This document or mission is much less serious in classification level compared to CL1, CL2, and CL3 - it is a big jump. However, the SIA still prohibits sharing these documents online, because there would be serious ramifications for the SIA if word got out that these documents existed. ("Oh", you say, in an evil tone. Please, don't even *think* about it.) SIA members and SIA agents can both handle this document as long as they exercise care when doing so. Currently, we do not allow SIA operations or documents with a classification level below 4 to be released onto this website, because of the humungous security risks associated with doing so.

### Classified Level 5:

This document or mission has some references to SIA members or agents, and has some talk of potentially suspicious acts, but overall isn't quite as serious as CL3 or CL4. The SIA allows the uploading of these types of documents to the SIA Bureau and affiliated SIA-verified websites, but still DO NOT share these sorts of documents online.

### Classified Level 6:

This document or mission poses little threat to viewers outside the SIA who get their hands on the document. It may have some references to minor or forgotten SIA members or agents of the past, but nothing serious at all. Still, it would be best if you refrain from openly posting these online. The SIA allows the uploading of these types of documents to the SIA Bureau and affiliated SIA-verified websites currently.

### Classified Levels 7-10:

We are bunching the remaining levels all under one header because they are effectively the same in seriousness level - that is, not very serious. Most of the documents under these classifications are small ones that the SIA has forgotten about, and even if you do accidentally share it online, frankly the SIA won't even care that much and there won't be that much damage done. The SIA allows the uploading of these types of documents to the SIA Bureau and affiliated SIA-verified websites.

*Disclaimer: All SIA members and agents alike should exercise care when working with Classified Level 1-5 documents. Currently, SIA verified agents are 2006Pontiac (by far the most trusted of all members) and Nostalgia (A.V.). There are many different SIA members, but each one should use caution when handling these documents.*
