extremely confidential

--- I've pasted some Japanese websites below, starting with the use and the meaning of the term "カク秘."

--- Then, I pasted some English websites that use the term "extremely confidential" which I feel (being extreme) that this is the level of being the "most" confidential as in your term "カク秘." It goes above and beyond "highly confidential", etc.

Woah! I see that cinefil and I are on the same wavelength. :-)
Peer comment(s):

agree Minoru Kuwahara : probably referring to a confidentiality level more than strict, hence, extreme. -

That's the way I see it, too, Minoru. "Extreme" is at the farthest level, or the utmost or greatest degree as in words like "extremity." Thank you very much! :-)

strictly confidential

Among many classes of secrecy of information, I propose this class based on military system. See: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/Criminales.pdf and http://publicintelligence.net/table-of-equivalent-global-cla...

Confidential or internal

I assume your material is that of civilian (i.e. corporate documents).

Thus my answer. Please be aware "internal" seems to be of higher level than confidential.

If for the govenment, there are few different levels of classification. See this site.

If in government setting, I would say this is probably "restricted" or "confidential" level.

Also found this site which is quite interesting to me. This is in religious setting, but confidentiality handling seems to be nonetheless same. http://www.ministryhealth.net/mh_articles/187_levels_confide...
Here it says:
Level 1: Absolute Confidentiality: (i.e. personal information that has
absolutely no affect on the church). Not shared at all.

Level 2: Immediate Confidentiality (i.e. when someone shares information
about things which affects the credibility of leaders). Though not "confidentiality" in the strict sense, the information is still carefully guarded. It is considered "confidential" and shared only with one trusted leader/confidant (e.g. Elder Chairman) to determine course of action (e.g. another conversation with the individual who initially shared the information). It is, broadly speaking, confidential in that the those privy to the information are limited and controlled.

Level 3: Intervention Confidentiality (i.e. when someone is in need but
doesn't want others to know). Need may be mentioned to a trusted leader with
access to resources to assist the person.

Level 4: Discreetness. When the information is no longer confidential but, for the sake of upholding the individual, unnecessary information is neither provided nor volunteered.

First answer of mine "confidential" is too broad and vague, you may want to add something like "immediate".
