What is the subject of SEAD 2?

• A. Uniform reporting requirements for personnel with access to classified information.
• B. Policy and guidance on the use of the polygraph for personnel security determinations regarding access to classified information or eligibility for a sensitive position.
• C. Policy for publicly available social media in background investigations.
• D. Policy for Continuous Evaluation.

Answer: (B)

SEAD 2 deals with how the polygraph is used in federal personnel security decisions. It sets the policy and guidance for when a polygraph may be used to determine eligibility for access to classified information or for a sensitive position, including who administers it, how results are handled, and how privacy and reliability are protected. This focus makes it the best answer because SEAD 2 specifically governs polygraph procedures in security determinations. Other topics like uniform reporting requirements, social media policy in investigations, or Continuous Evaluation are governed by different directives and are not the subject of SEAD 2.
