Overview: Multi-level Security is an implementation of Mandatory Access Control that is focused on confidentiality. A Multilevel Security operating system is able to enforce the separation of multiple classifications of information as well as manage multiple users with varying levels of information clearance. The military and intelligence community must handle and process various hierarchical levels of classified information.

These sensitivity levels are based upon the damage to national security that could be expected to occur if that information were to be leaked; the higher the sensitivity level, the greater the potential damage.
