Suppliers to the Armed Forces
Defense and readiness contractors have long been subject to requirements for proper security clearances by the Defense Intelligence Service, just as suppliers to many government agencies are subject to a security clearance via PET. As a result of Law of Resilience of Critical Units, many of these companies will additionally be subject to a background check requirement on the other employees. In other words, it is not sufficient that individual employees, for example, have security clearance by the Armed Forces Intelligence Service.
Since 2016, all public authorities have been obliged to implement management management of information security according to the ISO 27001 standard. This requires background checks to be conducted on all candidates for employment. These checks must be proportionate to the business requirements, the classification of the information to be accessed and the perceived risks. For public procurement, such certifications often become a requirement due to the chain liability described in the EU CER Directive.
Suppliers to the defense may face additional requirements, especially if the contract involves handling classified information. Here, the defence may require guarantees of confidentiality and screening of subcontractors. We are seeing a growing demand from companies that want to aggregate the overview of their own background checks, applications with the police or intelligence agencies on one unified platform.
Below you will find articles that describe the threats that exist in the field of defense and security.
