Learn more about the eligibility criteria for organization security screening.

Notes
  • Screening package: your organization must complete and submit the screening package within 30 days of receiving it unless the CSP provides your organization with an earlier deadline
  • Security clearance form: this form must always be accompanied by a completed Personnel screening, consent and authorization form
  • PSPC security agreement form: additional documents may be required for this form
Organization change documentation

To comply with CSP requirements, your organization must inform the CSP in writing of any changes in its:

  • legal status
  • ownership
  • location such as a physical move or new construction
  • contact information
  • security officers
  • KSO, etc.

If a new CSO or alternate company security officer (ACSO) needs to be appointed, your organization must first submit the appropriate appointment form to the CSP, prior to requesting a personnel security screening for the individual (if they are not already screened to the appropriate level).

If your organization does not use online industrial security services (OLISS), you may include the personnel security screening documentation with the appointment form, to help streamline the appointment and screening process for the new CSO or ACSO.

If your organization holds a facility security clearance and has a new KSO, your CSO or ACSO must report the new KSO to the CSP, prior to requesting a personnel security screening for the individual (if they are not already screened to the appropriate level).

If your organization does not use OLISS, the CSO or ACSO may include the personnel security screening documentation in their email correspondence to the CSP, to help streamline the process for the new KSO.
