Federal activity overview — Public Trust (Moderate Risk)
Security clearance · Confidential level
A Public Trust position at the moderate risk level requires a background investigation but is not a security clearance in the traditional sense. It is used for positions that involve access to sensitive but unclassified information, moderate-risk duties, or IT systems processing sensitive data.
Many federal IT, healthcare, and financial contracts require contractor personnel to hold at least a moderate risk public trust determination. This is common in CMS, SSA, VA, and other civilian agency contracts. Contracts requiring public trust are more accessible to smaller firms than those requiring security clearances.
