A controlled interface is a multilevel security system used to transfer low-classification data between security domains. The data to be transferred may theoretically move in either direction; the purpose of the controlled interface is to ensure that the data meets the criteria for transfer. This normally means that the data is of the lower classification. One example is the High Assurance Guard.
