compartmented
Split into sections
Compartmented describes something divided into separate sections or compartments.
In government and intelligence contexts, compartmented information is restricted so that only people with specific clearances can access particular portions: compartmented programs, sensitive compartmented information.
The division limits damage if security is breached—what you don't know, you can't reveal.
