Federal activity overview — Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information
Security clearance · Sensitive Compartmented Information
TS/SCI adds Sensitive Compartmented Information access to a Top Secret clearance. SCI is a classification for intelligence information that requires special handling and is compartmented so that access to one SCI program does not automatically grant access to another. SCI is primarily used by the intelligence community.
TS/SCI is required for intelligence community contracts, signals intelligence programs, imagery analysis, cyber operations, and classified technology development. These contracts are among the most lucrative in government contracting, with limited competition due to the high barrier of cleared personnel and SCIF requirements.
