Which software sanitizes and downgrades classified information for release?

• A. C2PC Gateway Server
• B. COP
• C. Radiant Mercury
• D. Email Service

Answer: (C)

Managing release of sensitive information hinges on automatically removing or downgrading what isn’t allowed at lower classification levels. Radiant Mercury is a software tool designed to sanitize documents and data so they can be released to audiences with lower clearance. It applies declassification rules, redacts or replaces sensitive details (such as sources, methods, or particular intelligence measurements), and preserves the non-sensitive content. This enables safe, compliant dissemination without exposing restricted material.

The other options don’t perform this automated declassification function: a C2PC Gateway Server focuses on command and control data sharing; the Common Operational Picture aggregates situational data for awareness; and an Email Service simply handles messaging, not the process of removing or downgrading classified information.
