The course objective is to introduce the Department of Defense (DoD) Special Access Program (SAP) fundamentals and is designed to prepare students to become SAP Security Professionals. The lessons address security enhancements across security disciplines, compliance inspections and their requirements, annual reviews, and audits. Special Access Programs (SAPs) are a compartmentalized source of information that have limited access for selected Critical Program Information (CPI). SAPs are created by departments and agencies and have protocols and safeguards from unintended disclosure that exceed normal (collateral) classified information. Overall, demonstrate a basic understanding of SAP policies, oversight, responsibilities and security enhancements.
