Vendors selling to DND, CSE, RCMP, CSIS, and security-sensitive PSPC files need to signal clearance posture publicly — without naming individuals or specific clearance levels.
Aggregate clearance posture: 'Senior team members hold Reliability Status; core delivery team holds Secret-level clearance under [Department of Industry / DSP].' Statement of Designated Organization Screening (DOS) status. Aggregate years of cleared-personnel availability. Specific GSEC certifications if relevant.
Never publish: specific individuals' clearance levels, granting authority, expiry dates, or sponsor department. Those go on resumes submitted with proposals, not on the public site.
Federal personnel security operates on tiers: Reliability Status, Secret, Top Secret, and additional access levels (Enhanced Reliability, Compartmented). Vendor sites can reference aggregate posture at any tier (e.g. 'core team holds Reliability Status; senior delivery team holds Secret-level clearance'). What you cannot publicly disclose is individual clearance levels, granting authority, or sponsor department.
Aggregate posture is fine if accurate. Personnel-security policy restricts disclosure of individual clearances; check with your DSP/PIDS focal point if uncertain.
If accurate at aggregate level, yes. Avoid implying individual identity.
Reliability and Secret can transfer through DSP (Designated Organization Screening) processes. Top Secret transfers are case-by-case.
