CVS includes the linkage between OPM's Suitability and Security Investigations Index (SII), and the Department of Defense Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS), the two systems containing investigative and clearance information on over 98% of federal, military, and contract personnel. OPM continues to load and maintain a central repository of security clearances and eligibilities granted by civilian departments and agencies. OPM provides CVS system management, oversight and training for this activity.

Module Three

• Imaging of Investigative Records

Electronic capture and storage of investigative files is an on going community effort. OPM continues to work with the personnel security community to develop common procedures and file transfer standards for sharing investigative data among the various 17 or more investigative service providers. OPM began imaging its own closed investigative case files in October 2004.
