An adjudicator, who is employed or contracted by one of the Department of Defense (DoD) Central Adjudication Facilities (CAFs), reviews the results of a Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) and compares it to established qualifying criteria for granting access to classified information or for an appointment to a sensitive position or position of trust.
