About

This webpage describes the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP), a system used to share sensitive information safely. TLP uses four colors—Red, Amber, Green, and Clear—to show how information can be shared and with whom. Red means information is very restricted, while Clear means it can be shared widely. The goal is to help people know how to handle and protect important information when working together or sharing details with others.
