Federal activity overview — NATO COSMIC Top Secret
Security clearance · Top Secret level
COSMIC Top Secret is NATO's highest classification level, equivalent to a national Top Secret clearance. COSMIC stands for Control of Secret Material in an International Command. Access requires both a national Top Secret clearance and additional NATO vetting for the most sensitive alliance information.
COSMIC Top Secret clearances are required for the most sensitive NATO contracts including nuclear sharing arrangements, strategic planning, and allied intelligence programs. Very few contractors need CTS clearances, but those supporting senior NATO command structures and strategic systems require them.
