Security Clearance Level: SC
The Security Check (SC) is the most widely held security clearance for posts involving long-term, frequent and uncontrolled access to secret assets and occasional and controlled access to top-secret material.
An SC level involves a BC security clearance check, plus checks against the UK criminal and security records (and if appropriate, of overseas countries) and a credit check.
Do I need to have a level of security clearance?
Demand continues to grow for professionals with a security-cleared access level. Not only driven by pressure for increased security, demand is also from organisations that previously have not required clearance, but now expect Basic Check (BPSS) as a minimum and Counter Terrorism Check (CTC) or Security Check (SC) to work on sensitive projects.
How long will it take to be SC cleared?
An SC will usually take a minimum of six weeks on average and are generally reviewed every ten years
