About VS-NfD
Verschlusssachen - nur für den Dienstgebrauch (VS-NfD) stands for "classified information - for official use only" and is one of the four levels of secrecy for data in German public authorities.
Information marked as “VS-NfD” is only to be viewed and processed by persons with the appropriate authorization. Mobile data carriers (such as laptops) on which “VS-NfD” information is stored or processed must be encrypted with approved products. The VS-NfD approval is granted by the BSI, the German Federal Office for Information Security.
Secrecy Levels for Classified Information in Germany
The secrecy levels describe within German federal agencies classify information according to its impact on the Federal Republic of Germany or one of its states if it were to come to the attention of unauthorized persons:
- STRENG GEHEIM / TOP SECRET (May endanger the existence or vital interests).
- GEHEIM / SECRET (May endanger security or cause serious damage to its interests)
- VS-VERTRAULICH / VS-CONFIDENTIAL (May be harmful to interests)
- VS-NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH / VS-FOR-OFFICIAL-USE-ONLY (May be detrimental to interests).
