What are the Levels of Security Clearance?
There are three main types of national security checks and clearances carried out by the Defence Vetting Agency. These are: CTC (Counter Terrorist Check) , SC (Security Check) and DV (Developed Vetting). CTC, SC and DV are all formal security clearances obtained through the national security vetting (NSV) process.
More general Employment Checks ( eg Basic Checks) are pre requisite to all Security Clearance Levels and are widely adopted in the Private Sector as well as Public & Defence Sectors, representing good recruitment and employment practice.
