Applying to jobs that require a security clearance
Some of our positions require the ability to obtain security clearance, such as Confidential, Secret or Top Secret clearance. A security clearance means an individual in a specific job role may have access to classified national security information. Security clearance is determined and granted by the the U.S. government, specifically by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). The DCSA will conduct an individualized assessment of any information relevant to strength of character, honesty, discretion, sound judgment, reliability, ability to protect classified or sensitive information, and trustworthiness, among others.
