- The SCIF will be equipped with top-tier, secure tools, as requested by the defense.

- Classified materials will remain within the SCIF boundaries, with preparation done using CISO-approved equipment.
- The classified data discussion is strictly limited to individuals listed in the order, court personnel, and those with necessary government-sanctioned clearance.
- Unauthorized discussion, retention, or disclosure of this classified data could imperil national security, with foreign entities potentially leveraging it against U.S. interests.
