Summary/Abstract: The management of classified information is a critical aspect of organizational operations, especially in sectors such as government, defense, and private enterprises dealing with sensitive data. Effective information activity encompasses a range of processes and protocols designed to safeguard classified information from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction. The policy of the Republic of Bulgaria on the protection of classified information is implemented in accordance with the directives on interoperability with NATO and the EU, which requires the creation of new laws and regulations related to the security of sensitive information. The term "classified information" was first introduced by the Classified Information Protection Act (CIPA). By its very nature, this is information constituting state secrets, official secrets and foreign classified information. The need to protect classified information arises from its importance for the national security of the Republic of Bulgaria. It protects facts and circumstances, free access to which could harm the interests of the State as a whole. Restricting access to classified information aims to minimise risks, prevent threats or damage to the interests of the Republic of Bulgaria relating to sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, defence, constitutional order, foreign policy and international relations.
