Classified Workplace Changes: DCSA Deadlines And Transitions Applicants And Holders Need To Know

Following the Global Financial Crisis (2008) and the COVID Pandemic (2020-2023), many young professionals sought Federal work as a means of building security in their professional lives. As we were powering down from our national security needs in Southwest Asia following 9/11, young Americans entered the classified workplace to offset the loss of retiring Baby Boomers.

As the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) executes changes to the personnel security review and adjudication processes, it is crucial that both security clearance applicants and security clearance holders stay abreast of the changes.
