Article 23 of the "Secrecy Law" stipulates that organs and units shall determine the contents involved as key departments of confidentiality.

Article 32 of the Secrecy Law stipulates that: organs and units shall designate institutions involving top secret or relatively secret state secrets as key departments of secrecy; The special place for centralized production, storage and custody of state secret carriers is determined as the key part of confidentiality, and the necessary technical protection facilities and equipment are equipped and used in accordance with the state secrecy laws and standards.

The key department of confidentiality refers to the internal organization that generates, transmits, uses and manages top secret or top secret, secret-level state secrets in the daily work of organs and units.

Secret-related key parts refer to the specialized places where secret vector is produced, stored and kept centrally within government agencies and units, such as confidential rooms, archives rooms and computer rooms of secret-related information systems of government agencies and units.

Office buildings for leading cadres at or above the provincial level that involve more state secrets should be identified as confidential key parts.

When determining the location of confidential key departments, we should adhere to two basic principles:

The first is the principle of grading determination.

The positions of the key departments of confidentiality of the central and state organs and directly affiliated units shall be determined by all organs and units and reported to the state secrecy administrative department for confirmation;

The key departments of provincial organs and directly affiliated units shall be determined by the organs and units themselves, reported to the local provincial (autonomous regions and municipalities) secrecy administrative department for confirmation, and reported to the state secrecy administrative department for the record;

The subordinate units of the central and state organs and the organs and units below the provincial level shall determine the key departments of confidentiality, and report them to the secrecy organs of the central and state organs or the secrecy administrative departments of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) for examination and confirmation.

The second is the principle of minimization.

The key departments of secrecy should be the most basic internal organs for organs and units to generate, transmit, use and manage state secrets, the smallest administrative unit involving state secrets, or the administrative units involving important state secrets in most internal departments.
