Personnel Security (PerSec) Clearance Tracker

Every clearance, reinvestigation, reported event and access record in one place

Overview

The Personnel Security Clearance Tracker keeps the record of each person's eligibility and access, from initiation through periodic reinvestigation or continuous vetting enrollment to debriefing. It tracks self-reported events and the continuous vetting alerts your security office receives, so each one is reviewed, documented and passed to the adjudicating authority where required. The tracker organizes the work; eligibility decisions remain with the government adjudicators and security officers responsible for them.

The problem it solves

Security offices manage clearances across the government system of record, spreadsheets of reinvestigation dates, inboxes of self-reported events and paper briefing forms. Continuous vetting has replaced fixed reinvestigation cycles for much of the workforce, but alerts still arrive by message and are tracked by hand. When an inspection asks how a reported event was handled or who was read on to a program, the answer has to be pieced together.

Who it’s for

  • Security offices in defense and intelligence agencies
  • Facility security officers at cleared contractors
  • Personnel security specialists who manage cases day to day
  • Special security officers who manage program access
  • Inspectors and auditors who review personnel security programs

How the work flows

  1. InitiateWhen someone needs eligibility or access, the security office opens a case, collects what is needed and tracks the request through the government system until a determination is recorded.
  2. MonitorEach person's eligibility, investigation date, continuous vetting enrollment and access are tracked, with reminders before anything lapses.
  3. Report and reviewSelf-reported events and continuous vetting alerts received by the security office become cases, each reviewed by a specialist and passed to the adjudicating authority where your procedures require.
  4. AccessBriefings, nondisclosure agreements, read-ons and debriefings are recorded so the office knows who has access to what, and can prove it.

Integrations

Government system of record
Eligibility and investigation data is reconciled against exports from the government personnel security system your organization uses, such as DISS, loaded by your authorized staff. The tracker does not replace or write to that system.
Human resources
Hires, departures, transfers and position changes from your HR system, so cases open and debriefings are scheduled when people move.
Training system
Completion of security briefings and refresher training from your learning system.
Physical access control
Access status shared with your badge system so access can be updated when eligibility or program access changes, including Moraph's SCIF Access Control & Management System.
Insider threat program
Referrals to your insider threat hub, including Moraph's Insider Threat UBA, with only the information your procedures allow to be shared.
Single sign-on
Staff sign in through your identity provider (SAML or OpenID Connect), including CAC or PIV where your provider supports it.
Work API
Clearance status and program metrics available to your reporting tools through the Moraph Work API, with sensitive case details excluded unless you choose otherwise.

Security

Hosted in the United States region only, for government and cleared contractor clients.
Cleared support lane
Support tickets from federal and defense clients are handled only by US citizens with active security clearances.
Need-to-know access
Single sign-on through your identity provider, with roles that separate the basic clearance record from sensitive case details.
Encryption under controlled keys
Client data is encrypted with keys Moraph staff cannot access without explicit, time-bound authorization.
Complete audit trail
Every view, change, report and export is recorded with the person and time, and cannot be edited.
Controls mapped for your authorization
Moraph is SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited, maps the tracker's controls to NIST SP 800-53 and 800-171, and supports your own authorization and Privacy Act obligations; it does not hold a DoD authorization of its own.

Hosting and deployment

Procedures and due dates
Case types, reportable events, reminder rules and review steps are configured from your security procedures and the directives that apply to you.
Need-to-know design
We agree with your security officer which roles see the clearance record, which see case details, and how populations are divided.
Integrations
HR, training and badge system feeds are mapped and tested, and the reconciliation export from the government system agreed with your staff.
Forms and briefings
Self-reporting forms, briefing records and acknowledgment text are set up from your existing forms.
Training and go-live
Specialists, security officers and managers are trained on their own tasks, employees are introduced to self-service, and open cases are moved across by agreement.

What it doesn’t do

  • The tracker does not adjudicate. Eligibility determinations are made by the government adjudicating authority, and the tracker records them.
  • It does not replace or write to the government personnel security system of record; reports required there are submitted by your staff, and the tracker records the reference.
  • It does not run continuous vetting checks or obtain records about individuals itself. It logs and tracks the alerts and reports your security office receives through official channels.
  • It does not conduct background investigations or collect investigation forms; applicants complete those in the government system.
  • It is designed for unclassified personnel security records. Classified case information is not stored in the hosted service.
  • Records are only as current as the information entered and reconciled; periodic reconciliation with the system of record is needed.
  • Your organization remains responsible for its Privacy Act notices, system of records requirements and retention schedules.
  • Moraph does not hold a DoD authorization for the tracker; your authorizing official decides whether and where it may be used.

How to evaluate it

  • Load a sample of your clearance records and compare the due list with your current tracking
  • Run a reconciliation against a test export from your system of record and review the differences
  • Follow a self-report from submission to closure and check what the employee, manager and specialist each see
  • Follow a continuous vetting alert from logging to referral and recorded outcome
  • Certify a program access list and record a debriefing
  • Confirm need-to-know separation and that every view of a case appears in the audit trail

Questions

Does the tracker make clearance decisions?

No. Eligibility is determined by the government adjudicating authority. The tracker records determinations and organizes the security office's work around them.

Does it connect directly to DISS or NBIS?

It reconciles against exports from the government system your organization uses, loaded by your authorized staff. Reports that must be made in that system are submitted there by your staff.

Who can see self-reports and continuous vetting alerts?

Only the specialists assigned and the roles your security officer chooses. Managers see status, not details, and every view of a case is logged.

Can cleared contractors use it?

Yes. Facility security officers can use it to manage their NISPOM personnel security responsibilities alongside the government systems they are required to use.

How is it priced?

As a subscription, usually measured by the size of the cleared population tracked, with implementation charged separately. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.

Is there an accessibility conformance report?

Ask for one through the procurement request form at /how-to-buy/request, naming the version you are evaluating.
