Clearance

Clearance refers to the process and approval needed to access certain information, areas, or resources that are restricted for security reasons. It ensures that only authorized individuals, who have been vetted and meet specific criteria, can view sensitive data or enter secure locations. Clearance levels vary depending on the security risk involved and the nature of the information or environment. The goal is to protect important assets, maintain safety, and prevent unauthorized access, while allowing approved personnel to perform their duties efficiently within their clearance level.
