** This is a compositional phrase, not a term of art. It functions as an ordinary modifier+noun construction meaning simply "information that is not security-related" — used in a given document to distinguish the scope of a provision, requirement, or control from information that does bear a security classification or security-relevant designation. Its meaning is fully derivable from its component words in context and it does not carry a standardized, field-wide sense beyond that ordinary reading. **VERDICT:** COMPOSITIONAL --- **Sources consulted:** - NIST CSRC / RMF FAQ (csrc.nist.gov) — searched for authoritative NIST usage; phrase not present as a defined term. - NIST FISMA Background (csrc.nist.gov/Projects/risk-management/fisma-background) — no definition of the phrase found. - HKCERT self-help guide (hkcert.org) — uses "non-information security incidents" compositionally, not "non-security information" as a term of art. - Multiple data classification policy documents (CMU, Michigan Tech, Maryland DoIT, SIU) — none define "non-security information" as a standalone term. - General searches across NIST, AICPA, ISO, CIS, and FISMA contexts returned no authority document defin
