Enrollment in Continuous Vetting occurs after what condition is met?

• A. A favorable trust determination has been made and recorded from the initial vetting
• B. A year of service with no incidents
• C. A formal complaint has been filed
• D. Immediate onboarding regardless of baseline checks

Answer: (A)

Continuous Vetting starts once there is a favorable trust determination from the initial vetting and that determination is formally recorded in the individual’s security file. This baseline approval is what enables ongoing monitoring to ensure the person continues to meet eligibility requirements. Time in service, a formal complaint, or onboarding without a baseline favorable determination do not by themselves initiate Continuous Vetting. If issues arise later, they may trigger separate actions, but the enrollment itself hinges on that initial favorable determination being documented.
