Reply to: SC clearance going to expire

Client or Agent?

Client to agent, (very big defence player to agent with fingers in the MoD pie).

I don't think Scom or Modis are agents in a traditional sense and like I said before they must be on the governement PSL.

Positive, I signed a release form to have my clearance moved from my last client only a week ago.

Are you really really sure?

http://www.scom.com/ Look at their division list on the left.

http://www.modisintl.com/Industries/ Similar here.

I guess they're on a government PSL.

Come to think of it Elan never held my SC but the others did.

So, do they put contractors through clearance too?

I'm not sure as I've always had my renewals done by the client, I can't see why not as long as there's a role that requires it.

They are list-x so they have their own security officers who should treat your info as confidential.

There's that word again.

Strange. Are you sure? An agent holding such details about me sends shivers down my spine.

Elan, Modis & Scom have all held my SC in the past.

Badger - if an agent offers to hold your SC, they are lying to you, they cannot. Unless they themselves are working on government projects.

FFS, the whole system is cack. Can't even be bothered to rant

You may find that your existing client is already working on a government project you are not aware of.

Approach your client to sponsor you - explain your situation. I've been in the same situation and got my client to sponsor me in the past even though SC was not required.

Don't ask don't get don't complain...

You have until November to bail out and find an SC role. Get on with it.

No don't!

Let it lapse and leave more for the rest of us

ask you agency if they have the ability to register and hold your seurity clearance for you.

had the same but bailed after the fiist 6 months back into a sc role so i didnt lose it - agency suddenly developed the ability to have held it for me but by then it was too late...

nevermind their loss I only asked the 3 or 4 times which at the time they didnt seem that interested in

I got SC clearance last November but I'm in a contract now that does not need Clearance. My understanding is that it will lapse after 12 months if I'm not in a role that requires clearance. Is this true and if so is there any way I can extend the expiry date?

So that's where you have been Badger, behind closed doors
