1. Industry Overview

Government, defence, critical infrastructure, and regulated industries require specialist contractors with Security Check (SC) and Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. These roles span cybersecurity, intelligence analysis, infrastructure design, and secure application development. In the UK and Europe, demand for SC and DV cleared professionals has grown significantly as cyber threats intensify and geopolitical tensions drive increased investment in defence and national security.

For example, contractors play a vital role in supporting the Ministry of Defence’s digital transformation programmes, designing secure networks for NATO allies, and modernising critical infrastructure such as air traffic control and nuclear energy facilities. In these environments, trust, clearance, and deep technical expertise are non-negotiable.

2. Problem Statement

The clearance process for SC and DV professionals is lengthy and complex. Organisations cannot afford delays waiting for new hires to obtain vetting when critical programmes require immediate expertise. Furthermore, cleared professionals are in short supply and competition for their services is intense.

Failure to secure cleared contractors on time risks project delays, non-compliance with government security standards, and potential national security vulnerabilities. For instance, defence suppliers have reported multi-million-pound losses due to project overruns directly linked to shortages of cleared IT and cyber professionals.
