CE is a personnel security investigative process that leverages an automated records check (ARC) methodology and applies standardized business rules to identify adjudicatively relevant information to assess cleared individuals’ on-going eligibility for access to classified information **Source ODNI / NCSC Fresh Haystack approaches Continuous Evaluation, Insider Threat and CounterIntelligence via a multi-source, “always-on push model”. When an adverse event happens, whether inside work or outside work, an alert is created in the source system or 3rd party federated data provider and then received by Fresh Haystack. A case is auto-generated, the appropriate security individuals are notified, and the adverse event is viewed in context with the subject’s role in the company and in the context of the adjudicative criteria of the classified contracts, programs, facilities, devices, badges and credentials relative to the subject. This capability enables your organization to view all available data points from a “whole-person” perspective; adding an extra dimension to your corporate risk management and employee safety strategies.
