When is an individual officially enrolled in Continuous Vetting?

• A. They are enrolled after a favorable trust determination has been made and recorded from their initial vetting
• B. They are enrolled immediately upon application
• C. They are enrolled only after a formal incident report
• D. They are enrolled after retirement and notification to HR

Answer: (A)

Continuous Vetting starts after a favorable trust determination is made and officially recorded from the initial background investigation. This creates a verified baseline of trustworthiness, allowing ongoing monitoring to proceed with a known starting point. Enrollment upon application would be premature because there’s no determined trusted status yet. An incident report might prompt a review, but it doesn’t by itself establish enrollment. Retirement and notifying HR end active access, so continuous checks aren’t ongoing after that point. So the best path is to enroll only after the initial vetting produces and records a favorable trust determination.
