What is the procedure for a contractor regarding classified material after an employee's security clearance is revoked?

When a contractor's employee has their security clearance revoked, the appropriate procedure is to return all classified materials to the proper authority. This response ensures that sensitive information is managed according to security protocols and reduces the risk of unauthorized access or breaches.

Returning materials helps maintain the integrity of the classified system and allows for proper accounting and control of sensitive documents. The responsible handling of classified material is crucial for national security and compliance with regulations governing classified information.

While other choices may address aspects of handling classified materials, such as destruction or securing, they do not align with established protocols. Security regulations prioritize returning materials as the first and most critical step in managing classified materials when an individual's clearance status changes.
