Certn, or any other private company in the UK, cannot conduct SC, DV or CTC clearance checks, as these have to be done by a government agency called United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV). The only government security check that can be conducted by private companies is the BPSS check, which Certn can conduct.
There are four different levels of government security check in the UK, DV vetting being the highest level and BPSS the lowest level. The four levels of government security check are:
Developed Vetting (DV) or (DV Cleared) is required for people with substantial unsupervised access to TOP SECRET assets. Conducted via UKSV.
Security Check (SC) or (SC Cleared) is required for people who have substantial access to SECRET or occasional controlled access to TOP SECRET assets. Conducted via UKSV.
Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) or (CTC Cleared) is required for people who work in close proximity to public figures, or who have access to information or material vulnerable to terrorist attack, or involves unrestricted access to government or commercial establishments assessed to be at risk from terrorist attack. Conducted via UKSV.
Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is required for all successful applicants for employment in the public sector and Armed Forces (both permanent and temporary) and all private sector employees working on government contracts (e.g. contractors and consultants), who require access to, or knowledge of, government assets protectively marked up to and including confidential. Conducted by Certn UK in the Legacy CORE Platform - please reach out to uk-support@certn.co for more information.
DV, SC and CTC vetting MUST be conducted by the approved government agency. Please see further Government Guidance here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/security-vetting-and-clearance
