Clearance Level: This denotes the degree to which an individual may access classified data or secure areas. There are several levels of clearance, which can vary depending on the organization or country but generally include levels such as Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. The higher the clearance level, the more sensitive the information the individual can access. To receive a specific clearance level, an individual must undergo a background investigation to assess their trustworthiness and reliability.
