Information regarding security clearances:
The Defense Security Service (DSS) is the provider of personnel and industrial security services, i.e., security clearances for the Department of Defense.
Individuals cannot apply for a personnel security clearance application. The company they work for determine whether an employee will require access to classified information in performance of his job. Once the company makes this determination, the employee may be processed for a security clearance at the company’s request.
The security clearance process examines a substantial period of a person’s life to make a determination whether the person is an acceptable security risk. To achieve security clearance the individual must meet several security guidelines. The evaluation process weighs a number of factors known as the “whole-person concept.” DSS gathers and evaluates all available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, in reaching a security clearance determination. When an individual’s history shows evidence of unreliability or untrustworthiness, a security clearance may be denied.
An individual whose security clearance has been denied or revoked has the opportunity to appeal the decision. The individual may request a hearing before an administrative judge in order to provide additional information and has the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses who testify against granting a security clearance. The administrative judge will render a decision and, if the decision is to deny or revoke the security clearance, the individual can appeal the decision to the Appeal Board. The Appeal Board will review the case file and render a final decision.
