Thacker) Organization: The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. Lines: 41 Approved: military@att.att.com From: ericd@sco.COM (Sharky the Lanshark) Hello, This might not be the correct newsgroup to mail, if not please point me to a correct group. I am looking for information on government security clearances. Basically what organizations issue them for the government and how one is obtained. Our company is now selling system to the government, and I can foresee a need that a clearance will be needed to work with some of the agencies in the near future. How long does the clearance process take, what type of background checking is preformed? etc..... While I am at it.. what are the different levels and what is required to obtain a clearance at each level? Thanks for any info you can give me, or for pointing me in the correct direction.
