What should be included in the development of OPSEC procedures?

In the development of Operations Security (OPSEC) procedures, it is essential to include all operational techniques that can mitigate risk. This involves identifying and protecting critical information that could be used by adversaries to gain an advantage. By covering a comprehensive array of techniques, the OPSEC program can effectively shield sensitive details, ensuring that neither classified nor sensitive unclassified information is unintentionally revealed.

This holistic approach enables organizations to understand potential vulnerabilities and implement strategies to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access to critical information, enhancing overall operational security. Including only successful procedures, classified procedures, or information intended for public release does not provide a complete or effective defense against potential threats, leaving gaps that could be exploited by adversarios.
