What can initiate a compliance review in the information disclosure process?

A compliance review in the information disclosure process can be initiated by reports of unauthorized disclosures. When there is an indication that sensitive information may have been improperly shared or disclosed, it raises concerns about adherence to established protocols and regulations governing the disclosure of sensitive information. This makes it crucial to assess the incident's details and process to determine the extent of the breach, potential implications, and the effectiveness of current information-sharing practices.

In contrast, routine audits of disclosure activities serve as a proactive mechanism to ensure compliance but do not necessarily trigger a review in response to an incident. Requests for information from foreign entities typically follow established procedures and may not inherently indicate any compliance issues. Changes in security clearance levels are procedural updates that relate to personnel eligibility but do not themselves initiate a compliance review centered around the disclosure of information.
