What is a Security Clearance?

A security clearance is the process in which an applicant is investigated before being granted access to national security information. A thorough investigation is conducted to determine the character, loyalty and reliability of the applicant to determine whether he or she can be trusted with the information. Through the use of credit checks, medical reports, national records and, in some cases, interviews with people who know the applicant, investigations typically look into a person’s individual character with a special emphasis on:

  • Honesty
  • Trustworthiness
  • Reliability
  • Criminal record
  • History of drug use
  • Emotional and financial stability

Unfortunately, any aspect of a person’s past may affect the decision to grant or deny them security clearance. If you’ve been denied, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney who can thoroughly evaluate the details of the denial and fight aggressively for an appeal on your behalf.
