UKSV National Security Vetting or Security Clearance provides a standard of assurance regarding an individual’s suitability (at a particular point in time) to have access to sensitive information, assets and equipment.
To obtain Security Clearance, you must go through an assessment and evaluation process, including background checks, before being granted clearance and/or offered employment, (in some cases offers of employment will be conditional on the successful completion of the clearance process (OPTIONAL)). Security Clearance applies to individuals whose employment involves access to sensitive government property, information, or personnel.
Security Cleared personnel may include members of the security and intelligence agencies, members of the armed forces; police; employees of certain non-governmental organisations who are required to comply with government security procedures; and employees of contractors who provide goods and services to the Government.
The various levels of Security Clearance are required to protect assets from threats from enemy intelligence agencies, cyber security threats, terrorists, and other groups of interest.
The result of the clearance process determines who is allowed access to classified Government information or assets.
All candidates who apply for jobs that provide access to sensitive information or sites are asked to complete a security questionnaire. The personal details recorded on these questionnaires enable the necessary checks to be carried out.
Interviews will also be undertaken, where necessary. The depth of checks varies according to the level of access to sensitive information that the job entails.
