Security Requirements

Contractor employees must also take the required annual training in the grid below titled, “Mandatory Contractor Training.” Pursuant to section 10(a) of DM 4620-002, “[a] site credential is issued locally by the facility to persons that have had a favorably adjudicated fingerprint check who do not require a LincPass and do not have IT access rights but need unaccompanied access to the workspace only. Also, a site credential issued to individuals requiring a LincPass who have had their fingerprints taken and are waiting for credential to be printed and returned for activation. Refer to the USDA Credential Matrix for information regarding the issuance risk assessment.” See USDA Credential Matrix, Figure 2 of DM 4620-0002, page D-1.
