Protecting the Energy Sector

The energy sector faces stringent requirements for security and background checks, as a significant portion of the sector will be categorized as critical infrastructure. This requires background checks, from simple ID and resume checks to extended background checks and security clearances from PET. Until the Danish Energy Agency publishes a guide, it is recommended to follow the aviation sector guidelines. Large parts of the energy sector are also targets of espionage, so it is also recommended to follow URISguidelines.
