Which of the following is NOT one of the five personnel vetting scenarios?

• A. Transfers of Trust
• B. Re-establishment of Trust
• C. Upgrades
• D. Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)

Answer: (D)

In personnel vetting, the scenarios describe how and why a person’s access or trust status is re-evaluated as their role or requirements change. Transfers of Trust is about moving someone to a position that requires a different level of trust, triggering a new vetting review. Re-establishment of Trust covers situations where a person’s trust has lapsed or been interrupted and needs to be rebuilt before they can continue, while Upgrades involve seeking higher clearance or access and therefore another level of adjudication. Sensitive Compartmented Information, on the other hand, is a category of highly restricted information, not a vetting scenario itself. It requires special handling and vetting to access, but it isn’t one of the actions describing a change in a person’s vetting status. So the item describing SCI is the one that isn’t a vetting scenario.
