Contractor & Industrial Security Program

The Contractor & Industrial Security Program focuses on security for contractors working at FAA. Program objectives include:

• Providing the basis for contractors' clearances
• Determining contractors' suitability for employment in the agency with access to FAA resources, facilities, and sensitive information
• Safeguarding classified material in the possession of FAA contractors

FAA considers the suitability of contractors the same as an FAA employee. The Department of Defense provides support in getting contractor clearances following a 1967 agreement between the Departments of Defense and Transportation.
