Two security professionals are discussing the topic of storing classified information: Jo says there are three authorized places (the individual's head, hands, and approved container); Chris says an approved security container must be used whenever the classified material is not under supervision of a custodian. Who is correct?

• A. Jo is correct
• B. Chris is correct
• C. Neither
• D. Both are correct

Answer: (D)

Storing classified information securely allows three authorized places: in the holder’s memory, on the holder’s body, or in an approved security container. Memorizing data keeps it protected without any physical exposure, carrying it on you keeps it under your direct control, and using an approved container provides formal physical protection when it’s not being supervised. There’s also a rule that whenever the material isn’t under a custodian’s supervision, it must be kept in an approved security container. This ensures strong protection during unmonitored periods. So both statements are correct: you have three approved storage options, and you must use an approved container when the material isn’t under custodian supervision.
