A security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information (state or organizational secrets) or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough background check.

The term "security clearance" is also sometimes used in private organizations that have a formal process to vet employees for access to sensitive information.

A clearance by itself is normally not sufficient to gain access; the organization must also determine that the cleared individual needs to know specific information.

No one is supposed to be granted automatic access to classified information solely because of rank, position, or a security clearance.
