The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia has issued Standing Order 25-03, which sets rules for handling highly sensitive documents. These documents are defined as a limited group of filings that require special procedures to ensure their security. The order aims to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, especially in cases where the information could have serious national or international security impacts.
According to the court, "a very narrow category of filings that warrant exceptional handling and storage procedures to prevent significant consequences that could result if information in the filing were obtained or disclosed in an unauthorized way, such as information with significant national security or international security repercussions."
Standing Order 25-03 is intended to strengthen protections around these types of documents by outlining specific measures for their management.
