I don't make light of industrial theft/espionage, but let's be honest. Can you not just put a blurb on your proprietary stuff with the proper lawyerese? Something like "Business confidential and proprietary - not to be released without written authorization" or somesuch?

For those of us who have worked in the cleared space, a company labeling something "Intel Top Secret" is like watching a 12-year-old put on Daddy's suit jacket and tie in front of the mirror. If business confidential materials leak, yes, it can have huge financial impacts for the business. If actual TS materials leak, people can no-kidding die.

Not to mention if your company does do cleared work, you've now created unnecessary confusion between "Company Top Secret" and actual TS, which just increases the chances for someone doing something stupid/malicious.
