I'm wondering about the classification levels in security clearance. Specifically, I want to know if SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information) is considered to be a higher level than Top Secret.

The term "above Top Secret," often employed by the media, refers to a classification level that encompasses either Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or Special Access Program (SAP).

Despite its misleading name, there is no official security clearance that ranks higher than Top Secret within the classification system.

SCI and SAP are categories of information that require additional safeguards and handling procedures beyond those for Top Secret material.

SCI involves information that is compartmented or restricted to certain individuals within the government due to its sensitive nature.

SAP, on the other hand, refers to programs or projects that have special access requirements and are not widely known or discussed outside of a small, authorized group.
