Security clearance · Confidential level
The Confidential clearance is the lowest level of security clearance, granting access to information whose unauthorized disclosure could cause damage to national security. This is the entry-level clearance used across DoD and other agencies for personnel who need limited access to classified materials.
Some defense contracts require Confidential clearances for personnel handling classified material at the lowest level. This clearance is relatively quick to obtain and is common for manufacturing, logistics, and administrative support contracts where limited classified access is needed.
