Additionally, the course discusses the reporting requirements for changed conditions affecting the status of the contractor’s favorable entity eligibility determination, also referred to as a Facility Security Clearance (FCL), and the status of an employee’s favorable national security eligibility determination, also referred to as a Personnel Security Clearance (PCL). The course also discusses how an employee may pose insider threat indicators, the proper safeguarding of classified information, as well as reports for security violations and espionage, sabotage, terrorism, and subversive activities.
