This statement discusses the personnel security joint reform efforts. It addresses: (1) elements of the most recent security clearance reform efforts; and (2) the extent to which the recent reform efforts address key factors that should be considered in efforts to reform the security process. Also identifies best practices that agencies can use to successfully transform their cultures and, accordingly, can guide the implementation of these personnel security clearance reform efforts.

Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Department of Defense's (DOD) security clearance reduction program and its plan to reduce the backlog of periodic reinvestigations. GAO found that: (1) the number of security investigations DOD conducted annually increased about 50 percent after 1975, which resulted in unnecessary delays in completion of investigations and reinvestigations; (2) over a 2-year period, the number of DOD and contractor employees to be reinvestigated declined from about 579,000 to about 356,000; and (3) although DOD strived to meet a 25-percent reduction in cases to be reinvestigated, as Congress required, it had not reinvestigated an estimated 300,000 individuals with top security clearances. GAO also found that: (1) of the $25 million allotted for the program, DOD spent about $14.1 million to reduce the backlog of reinvestigations, and the remainder on vehicles and program reductions; (2) the commission established by the Secretary of Defense to review DOD security policies and practices made 63 recommendations to improve security deficiencies; and (3) although 51 of the recommendations had been approved, DOD did not release an estimated $22 million needed to implement the recommendations.

Book excerpt: In 2004, Congress passed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act to reform security clearance processes. The experience in evaluating personnel security clearance processes has consisted of examining the DoD program, which maintains 2.5 million clearances on service members, DoD civilian employees, legislative branch employees, and industry personnel working for DoD and 23 other fed. agencies. Long-standing delays in processing applications -- and other problems in DoD¿s clearance program -- led it to be designated a high-risk area in 2005. There has also been clearance-related problems in other agencies. Here, the author was asked to identify key factors that could be applied in personnel security clearance reform efforts.

This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to reform personnel security clearance processes should consider, among other things, the following four key factors: (1) a strong requirements-determination process, (2) quality in all clearance processes, (3) metrics to provide a fuller picture of clearance processes, and (4) long-term funding requirements of security clearance reform. In February 2008, GAO noted that a sound requirements process is important because requesting a clearance for a position in which it will not be needed, or in which a lower-level clearance would be sufficient, will increase both costs and investigative workload unnecessarily. For example, the cost of obtaining and maintaining a top secret clearance for 10 years is approximately 30 times greater than the cost of obtaining and maintaining a secret clearance for the same period. Also, changing a position's clearance level from secret to top secret increases the investigative workload for that position about 20-fold.
