Authorized sources for derivative classification include official documents such as classified reports, intelligence assessments, and policy directives that contain classified information. Additionally, guidance from the originating agency, classification guides, and established standards for classification can serve as authorized sources. It's essential for individuals engaged in derivative classification to refer to these sources to ensure compliance with security protocols and maintain the integrity of classified information.

Derivative classification involves a series of steps to ensure that classified information is appropriately marked and handled. First, one must determine whether the information is derived from existing classified sources, such as documents or briefings. Next, the classifier must apply the original classification authority's guidance to mark the new document accordingly, ensuring the appropriate classification level is assigned. Finally, the new document must be marked with the correct classification levels and any necessary declassification instructions before distribution.
