| This firm practices in
the areas of personnel security law and security
clearances for contractors, government and
military employees. It also deals with issues of
personal security clearances, facility security
clearances, document classification and
polygraph examinations. |
| Personnel security
involves the granting or denial of security
clearances to civilian employees of the
government, employees of government contractors
and military personnel. Clearances may range
from Confidential to Top Secret, and may include
access to various more sensitive programs such
as Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI),
Special Access Programs (SAP's) and Code Name
programs. Facility security clearances concern
the physical and electronic protection of
classified information, and programs and
clearances for key personnel. |
| Document Classification
deals with the security level applied to
documents and programs. Whether disclosure of
particular information would cause "damage"
"serious damage", or "exceptionally grave
damage" will determine the level of personnel
security and facility security protection to be
applied. |
