You are helping an enterprise architect assess Diffusion Restreinte (DR) handling compliance for a French information system. DR is a French administrative protection mention applied to information whose disclosure would harm the interests of the French State or third parties, without reaching the level requiring formal classification under IGI 1300 (Confidentiel Défense and above).

DR is governed primarily by the Instruction Interministérielle n°901/SGDSN/ANSSI (II 901) for electronic information systems, and by ministerial instructions for physical documents. This assessment covers electronic and physical DR handling rules, including marking, access control, storage, transmission, and destruction.

Scope boundary: This command covers DR only. Systems handling Confidentiel Défense or higher classification require a separate defence security framework (IGI 1300 / DGA / SGDSN) that is out of scope for ArcKit.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Note: Before generating, scan projects/ for existing project directories. For each project, list all ARC-*.md artifacts, check external/ for reference documents, and check 000-global/ for cross-project policies. If no external docs exist but they would improve output, ask the user.

Step 0: Read existing artifacts from the project context

MANDATORY (warn if missing):

• REQ (Requirements) — Extract: system description, data types processed, security requirements (NFR-SEC-xxx), OIV/OSE designation, integration with other IS
  • If missing: warn that DR assessment requires a minimum understanding of what information the system handles

RECOMMENDED (read if available, note if missing):

• DATA (Data Model) — Extract: data assets, classification levels, data flows — essential to identify which assets should carry the DR mention
• SECD (Secure by Design) — Extract: existing security controls, encryption mechanisms, access management
• ANSSI (ANSSI Assessment) — Extract: IS qualification status, existing security measures that also support DR compliance

OPTIONAL (read if available, skip silently):

• EBIOS (EBIOS RM Study) — Extract: any prior identification of DR assets in Workshop 1 essential values
• SECNUM (SecNumCloud Assessment) — Extract: cloud provider qualification — relevant if DR data stored in cloud
• PSSI (Security Policy) — Extract: existing DR handling rules if documented in the PSSI

Step 0b: Read external documents and policies

• Read any external documents in external/ — extract previous DR assessments, ministerial DR handling instructions, IS homologation decisions that mention DR
• Read any global policies in 000-global/policies/ — extract DR handling policy, classification policy, information security policy
• If the organisation has a FSSI (Fonctionnaire de Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information), note their contact details — they are the authority for DR compliance

Step 1: Identify or Create Project

Identify the target project from the hook context. If the project doesn't exist:

1. Use Glob to list projects/*/ directories and find the highest NNN-* number
2. Calculate the next number (zero-padded to 3 digits)
3. Slugify the project name
4. Use the Write tool to create projects/{NNN}-{slug}/README.md
5. Set PROJECT_ID and PROJECT_PATH

Step 2: Read Source Artifacts

Read all documents from Step 0. Extract:

• Types of information produced, processed, or stored by the system
• Existing handling procedures for sensitive information
• IT systems used for storage and transmission
• Relevant roles: FSSI, RSSI, data owners
• Any cloud services that may host DR information

Step 3: DR Assessment Template Reading

Read the template (with user override support):

• First, check if .arckit/templates-custom/fr-dr-template.md exists in the project root
• If found: Read the user's customized template
• If not found: Read .arckit/templates/fr-dr-template.md

Step 4: DR Compliance Assessment

Step 4a: DR Asset Identification

1. Asset inventory: Identify all information types in the system that carry or should carry the DR mention. Apply the DR marking criterion: would unauthorised disclosure harm the interests of the French State or a third party, without reaching the IGI 1300 threshold?
   • Typical DR candidates: internal security reports, audit findings, vulnerability assessments, system architecture documents, sensitive correspondence, budget documents not yet public, personnel security information
2. Current marking status: For each asset type, note whether it is already marked DR or whether the marking is inconsistently applied
3. DR registry: Does the organisation maintain a register of DR documents? Who owns it?

Step 4b: Marking and Labelling Compliance

For each electronic document type assessed as DR:

• Is "DIFFUSION RESTREINTE" applied in header and footer of every page?
• Is the DR mention included in document metadata?
• Are DR document references tracked in a registry?

Step 4c: Access Control Assessment

1. Need-to-know application: Is access to DR information restricted to personnel with a demonstrated need?
2. Individual authorisation: Is there an explicit authorisation process for DR access?
3. Access revocation: Are DR access rights revoked promptly on role change or departure?
4. Third-party access: Are DR documents ever shared with external parties? Is there an approval process?

Step 4d: Electronic Storage Assessment

1. System qualification: Is the IS used to store DR information registered with the FSSI and approved for DR?
2. Encryption at rest: Is DR data encrypted using ANSSI-approved solutions (minimum AES-256)?
3. Key management: Are encryption keys managed separately from data, with access restricted?
4. Audit logging: Are all access events to DR storage logged with sufficient retention?
5. Cloud storage: If DR data is stored in cloud — is the provider ANSSI-approved or SecNumCloud-qualified?

Step 4e: Electronic Transmission Assessment

1. Approved channels: Is DR transmitted only on approved networks (RIE, ANSSI-approved VPN)?
2. No unencrypted internet: Is there any risk of DR transiting unencrypted public internet?
3. Email: Is standard email (without approved encryption) ever used for DR? This is non-compliant.
4. Mobile devices: Can DR be accessed from unmanaged personal devices?
5. Transmission logging: Are all DR transmissions logged?

Step 4f: Physical Handling Assessment (if applicable)

1. Physical marking: Are physical DR documents marked on cover and every page?
2. Secure storage: Are physical DR documents stored in locked cabinets when not in use?
3. Transport: Are physical DR documents transported in opaque sealed envelopes via registered mail or secure courier?
4. Printing: Are DR documents printed only on approved, supervised printers?

Step 4g: Destruction Assessment

1. Electronic media: Is DR data destroyed using ANSSI-approved wiping or physical destruction?
2. Paper: Are paper DR documents destroyed by cross-cut shredding or incineration?
3. Destruction logging: Is destruction of DR documents recorded in the DR registry?

Step 4h: IS Compliance for DR Processing

Assess the IS against the II 901 requirements for systems processing DR:

• IS registered as DR-capable with FSSI
• IS homologated for DR (EBIOS study conducted)
• User sessions individually authenticated
• Session lock after maximum 15 minutes of inactivity
• Security patches applied within 30 days
• Security event logs retained minimum 1 year

Step 5: Generate DR Assessment Document

CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the full DR assessment document.

1. Detect version: Check for existing ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-DR-v*.md files:

   • No existing file → VERSION="1.0"
   • Existing file → minor increment if refreshed

2. Auto-populate Document Control:

   • Document ID: ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-DR-v{VERSION}
   • Status: DRAFT
   • Created Date: {current_date}
   • Next Review Date: {current_date + 12 months}
   • Classification: DIFFUSION RESTREINTE (the DR assessment itself contains sensitive handling information)

3. Write the complete assessment following the template.

Before writing the file, read .arckit/references/quality-checklist.md and verify all Common Checks plus DR per-type checks pass.

Write the document to:

projects/{project_id}/ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-DR-v{VERSION}.md

Important Notes

• DR is not a classification level: DR is an administrative protection mention, not a formal classification under IGI 1300. Confidentiel Défense and higher require a separate defence security framework. This command does not cover IGI 1300 systems.
• II 901 is the governing text for electronic DR: The Instruction Interministérielle n°901/SGDSN/ANSSI governs electronic systems processing DR information. Always refer to the current version published by SGDSN/ANSSI.
• FSSI is the DR authority: The Fonctionnaire de Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information (FSSI) is the authoritative contact for DR handling in each ministry. Engage the FSSI before making decisions about DR system qualification.
• IS homologation required: An IS that processes DR information must be homologated by the RSSI or relevant authority. The homologation is based on an EBIOS risk analysis. Flag this if the IS is not yet homologated.
• Cloud and DR: Storing DR information in cloud requires ANSSI-approved infrastructure. Non-qualified providers (including major US hyperscalers) should not be used for DR without explicit ANSSI assessment.

Key References

Note for reviewers: The II 901/SGDSN/ANSSI instruction governing electronic DR systems is an interministerial instruction not publicly distributed in full. The ANSSI page above provides the publicly accessible guidance. DR is an administrative protection mention, distinct from the IGI 1300 formal classification scheme (Confidentiel Défense and above), which is managed by SGDSN and is outside the scope of this command.
