Security clearance

Security Clearance Statement of Reasons

If you have a question of about your security clearance or received a Statement of Reasons, then you are at the right place. 'A decision on eligibility for access to classified information, assignment to duties that have been designated national security sensitive, and SCI access is a discretionary security decision based on judgments by appropriately trained adjudicative personnel. Pursuant to DoDM 5200.02, Procedures for the DoD Personnel Security Program (PSP), April 3, 2017

eligibility shall be granted only where facts and circumstances indicate eligibility for access to

classified information is clearly consistent with the national security interests of the United States,

and any doubt shall be resolved in favor of the national security.' 


The security clearance adjudicative process involves an examination and weighing of a number of different variables of an individual's life to make an affirmative determination that the individual is an acceptable security risk. This is known as the whole-person concept. The goal is to consider all available, reliable information about each applicant, past and present, favorable and unfavorable.


In order to make a determination as to whether granting or continuing national security eligibility is clearly consistent with the interests of national security, the following guidelines will be reviewed in the context of the whole person concept:


Guideline A: Allegiance to the United States


Guideline B: Foreign Influence


Guideline C: Foreign Preference


Guideline D: Sexual Behavior


Guideline E: Personal Conduct


Guideline F: Financial Considerations


Guideline G; Alcohol Consumption


Guideline H: Drug Involvement and Substance Misuse


Guideline I: Psychological Conditions


Guideline J; Criminal Conduct


Guideline K; Handling Protected Information


Guideline L: Outside Activities


Guideline M: Use of Information Techology

The Whole Person Concept

Under the whole-person concept, the administrative judge must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility for a security clearance by considering the totality of the applicant’s conduct and all relevant circumstances. The administrative judge should consider the nine adjudicative process factors: 


(1) the nature, extent, and seriousness of the conduct; 


(2) the circumstances surrounding the conduct, to include knowledgeable participation; 


(3) the frequency and recency of the conduct; 


(4) the individual’s age and maturity at the time of the conduct; 


(5) the extent to which participation is voluntary; 


(6) the presence or absence of rehabilitation and other permanent behavioral changes; 


(7) the motivation for the conduct; 


(8) the potential for pressure, coercion, exploitation, or duress; and 


(9) the likelihood of continuation or recurrence.
