OPSEC is accomplished using a six-step process:

*5) Apply OPSEC measures
 
*6) There is no six

OPERATIONAL SECURITY

The purpose of Operational Security (OPSEC) is to limit the amount of harmful information leaked to our enemies in any situation that may lead to PvP combat. Given the nature of the game, it is assumed that there are numerous spies within the corporation at any given time, which makes true Operational Security difficult if not impossible.


General Rules

  • Do not discuss information on current or planned fleet operations in any unsecured channel.
  • Do not share log in information for your EVE account, teamspeak, in-game channels, or the Ivy League Forum.
  • Do not reveal the identify of scouts or intel coordinating personnel in After Action Reports or other posts.
  • If in doubt, ask an ILN officer or Ivy League Staff member.

Director of Intelligence:

Has broad authority to detect, prevent, contain and punish information leaks, and he takes his job very seriously.

ILN Officers:

Understand the types of information that can be used to compromise operations; ensure compliance of individual members; report to Ivy League Leadership any suspicious activity.

Ivy League Members:

Use common sense, if in doubt as to whether or not something should be talked about in open channels ask an ILN officer or Ivy League Staff member -before- you do say anything questionable. It is acceptable to politely educate people who slip up, but individuals who blatantly or repeatedly violate these rules should be reported to an I LN officers or Ivy League Staff member.


OPSEC ASSESSMENTS

The CEO, Ivy League Directors, Management and ILN Leadership will conduct random assessments using undisclosed procedures, then take needed steps to correct any problems found.



This information was extrapolated, in-part, from The United States Air Force OPSEC Program

Then it was edited because this is a game.
