retention of information across 

Government when there is cooperation 

and timely sharing of relevant 

information among complementary 

missions both between and within 

departments and agencies. 

I. A risk-based approach is used to 

identify and detect potential 

vulnerabilities and threats early in the 

process and undertake risk mitigation 

throughout the process to lessen or 

prevent the impact to people, property, 

information, and mission. 

IX. Information Technology 

Successfully vetting a trusted 

workforce and protecting personal data 

requires effective, secure, and 

innovative technology and the ability to 

integrate newer and better technology as 

it becomes available. Combating cyber 

threats, complying with data protection 

requirements, and managing 

information are integral to the vetting 

process. The successful execution of the 

Federal personnel vetting mission 

requires that Federal agencies ensure: 

A. Security principles are embedded 

in all information technology (IT) 

systems in accordance with applicable 

law, E.O.s, rules, and regulations. 

B. Development efforts incorporate 

government-wide guidance that adopts 

private sector best practices for the agile 

and iterative development and delivery 

of new or modified IT systems and 

capabilities. 

C. Cutting-edge technologies are 

adopted to improve both quality and 

timeliness of personnel vetting, while 

outdated and legacy IT capabilities are 

decommissioned. 

D. Federal IT shared services are used 

to maximize return on investment, 

reduce duplication, and improve 

effectiveness. 

X. Awareness and Organizational 

Culture 

A Federal trusted workforce requires 

that all levels of the Federal 

Government use good risk management 

techniques and promote an effective 

security posture. A strong culture of 

personal accountability and 

understanding potential risks allows the 

personnel vetting mission to effectively 

function. To achieve this organizational 

culture: 

A. All members of the trusted 

workforce must understand their role 

and take personal ownership of their 

responsibilities in the success of the 

overall personnel vetting enterprise. 

B. All members of the trusted 

workforce must understand, support, 

and execute the responsibilities that 

accompany a favorable trust 

determination.
