WHAT KIND OF SECURITY CLEARANCES ARE THERE?
There are two basic categories of security clearances: Personal and Facility. As the terms indicate, a personal clearance is one that an individual is granted while a facility clearance is one granted to a place – typically the worksite where the classified work will take place. Please note that in addition to Security Clearance Adjudications, similar processes will apply to Public Trust Suitability Determinations. For ease of discussion we will refer to security clearances, but many of the same issues and process apply to public trust suitability determinations.
