SAPPC - Personnel Security Exam/37Questions with Answers
personnel security program - -seeks to ensure that only loyal, trustworthy,
and reliable people are granted access to classified information or assigned
to sensitive duties.
- documents that mandate the personnel security program. - -• DoD
Instruction 5200.02 (March 2014) establishes the policy, assigns
responsibilities, and prescribes procedures for the DoD Personnel Security
Program.
• DoD Regulation 5200.2-R which has had three updates since 1987 covers
policy for the major elements of the personnel security program. Use of this
regulation is mandatory for all DoD components. It implements the personnel
security program within the Department of Defense.
• Executive Order 12968 was the most recent executive order that required
several regulatory changes to the DoD 5200.2-R. It standardizes the
personnel security program for the executive branch. As a security
professional you will become familiar with this document.
- Personnel Security: Designation - -Each position in the Federal service is
evaluated for a position designation. The designation is based on how the
responsibilities and assignments of the position could impact the national
security.
Positions designated as sensitive involve job duties that can have a great
impact on national security, as the individual assigned to the position could
bring about, by virtue of the nature of the position, a material adverse effect
on the national security.
Positions with job duties which have no potential for material adverse effect
on national security are designated as non-sensitive. If a position is
designated as having sensitive duties, the remaining four elements will
apply.
- Investigation - -Once an individual has been selected for a sensitive
position and/or requires access to classified information (military, civilian, or
contractor) a personnel security investigation (PSI) is conducted. The PSI
report contains background information about the person.
- Adjudication - -This is an evaluation of the information contained in reports
of personnel security investigations (PSIs) and other source documents.
A judgment concerning security clearance eligibility is made by evaluating
the reported information against the national security adjudication
adjudicative guidelines. Final clearance eligibility determinations decisions
are made by the DoD Consolidated Adjudications Facility (CAF)
, - Reinvestigation - -Individuals are reinvestigated at certain intervals based
on their duties or access.
Reinvestigation may also be initiated when unfavorable information arises
that raises a concern under the national security adjudicative guidelines.
Reinvestigation is considered part of the Continuous Evaluation Program
- Continuous Evaluation - -Once security clearance eligibility has been
granted, the Continuous Evaluation Program (CEP) monitors employees for
new information or changes since the last investigation or reinvestigation
that could affect their eligibility status
- Sensitive Duties: Access - -Access Sensitive duties are designated based
on their impact on national security. Sensitive duties often involve access to
classified information.
Access is described as the ability and opportunity to gain knowledge of
classified information. This can involve seeing, hearing, or touching classified
information, material, or equipment. Access is always controlled by the
holder of the information. The holder of the classified information must
determine that the person seeking access has the proper security clearance
eligibility and a valid need to know the information in order to carry out
official duties.
A security clearance is a favorable determination of eligibility for access to
classified information prior to access being granted. Component and local
command procedures will provide guidance on how to verify clearance
eligibility and need-to-know.
- Sensitive Duties: Requirements - -First, if an individual is a U.S. citizen, he
or she may be granted a security clearance.
Next, non-U.S. citizens may be granted a Limited Access Authorization, also
known as an LAA.
These two authorizations may be granted to civilian, military, and contractor
personnel; however, their requirements for access will vary.
It is important to understand that although a non-U.S. citizen may be granted
an LAA, they are not granted security clearance eligibility.
