Applying for a Personnel Security Clearance
When an employee working for a company cleared under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) requires access to classified information in the performance of his or her duties, the company initiates the process to obtain a personnel security clearance for the employee. Individuals cannot apply for a personnel security clearance on their own.
