- There is a potential for exposure to sensitive information.
- The Resources will have access to CUI, but just what they see with their eyes. They won’t have access to any CUI electronically. It would all only be what they see and hear.
- The Resources will have an understanding of the end goal, or milestones. They will have exposure to that information; it just needs to be handled appropriately, and that is why they must be TS/SCI Full Scope Polygraph (MPO or USG) Cleared.
- There is programmatic CUI information, and then there’s classified data - - The Cleared Resources exposure is going to be more programmatic; i.e. what’s happening, and where. However, they will not be exposed to specific classified data. But, in the chance they are exposed, that is why they need to be TS/SCI Full Scope Polygraph (MPO or USG) Cleared.
