DOD Security Clearance Workshop July 13, 2009

This Workshop provides a clear understanding of the NISP personnel security clearance requirements as presented in the NISP Operating Manual (NISPOM) necessary to provide you with the details of interdepartmental relationships concerning security clearances, reciprocity, who has jurisdiction and why. You'll learn and understand the levels of security clearances and what is required to obtain them. Personnel with active security clearances are crucial to a contractor's ability to compete for DOD and other sensitive contracts. That's why recent backlogs, delays, and funding shortfalls preventing the Defense Security Service from processing contractor security clearances prompted panic among contractors. A lack of cleared personnel directly impacts their ability to compete for many contracts, and the value of already cleared personnel skyrockets, impacting the bottom line. Congress continues to seek appropriate solutions to alleviate the impact of personnel security shortfalls. Position yourself in this lucrative market with a step-by-step review of the security clearance rationale and process, screening methods which will accelerate clearance processing, reduce delays and increase your clearance success ratio.
