of a facility clearance in accordance with NISPOM requirements. In 
addition, information is utilized to inform Government Contracting 
Activities (GCAs) of contractor's ability to maintain facility 
clearance status and/or storage capability as well as to analyze 
vulnerabilities identified within security programs and ensure proper 
mitigation actions are taken to preclude unauthorized disclosure of 
classified information.
