Civil Clearance Authority is an administrative body under the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness, with the main focus on security and access clearance of personnel. The authority's task is to protect national values against insiders, and works actively to reduce the risk of insiders in the civil sector. This includes the development of guidelines and guides for security clearance that can be used at both regional and local level.
In addition to security clearance management, the Civil Clearance Authority offers courses in authorization for people who must handle sensitive information. The authority emphasizes the rule of law and social security in its work, and contributes to creating a safer society through thorough assessments of personnel who gain access to critical areas and information.
