Access to sensitive or restricted information is controlled'  is part of the C. Security of the key communications and information systems principles

NIMS Communications and Information Management is the ability to maintain situational awareness through the constant flow of information.

Communications systems need to be Interoperable (able to communicate across agencies), Reliable (able to function in the context of kind of emergency), Scalable (suitable for use on a small or large scale as the needs of the incident dictate), Portable (built on standardized radio technologies, protocols), Resilient (able to perform damaged or lost infrastructure), Redundant (able to use alternate communications methods when primary systems go out) and Secure (able to protect sensitive or classified information from those without need to know).

For Security part, voice, data, networks, and systems should be secure to the appropriate level to control access to sensitive or restricted information  because some incident information is sensitive.  Also incident communications and information sharing should comply with data protection and privacy laws.  For example, law-enforcement can discuss sensitive, personally identifiable or classified information and it must ensured that this information is shielded in with applicable laws.
