Vulnerability discussion

Failure to validate that FN partners or employees have the required security clearance levels for access to classified systems and/or the proper level of background investigation for IA Positions of Trust could result in untrustworthy Foreign Nationals having access to classified or sensitive US systems. In situations where they have been assigned to IA positions of trust this consideration becomes even more critical as they could adversely impact the CIA of the systems, possibly without being easily discovered.

Check content

Check that all foreign national partners or FN employees with SIPRNet access (or if applicable a classified Coalition System in the US Partition) have the proper investigation and clearance level required for their classified system access or IA position of trust. Normally this will be accomplished by reciprocally accepting the partner Country equivalent security clearance. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: This check is applicable where REL partners/LN/FN are employed in a tactical environment with access to classified US Systems or Coalition Systems.
