Security Asset Protection Professional Certification (SAPPC) Certification Practice Exam

Which type of investigative requirement is associated with Non-Critical Sensitive positions?

1. SSBI

2. ANACI

3. NACI

4. PPR

The correct answer is: ANACI

The investigative requirement associated with Non-Critical Sensitive positions is the Access National Agency Check with Inquiries (ANACI). This type of investigation is specifically designed to assess individuals applying for positions that handle sensitive information but do not require the same level of scrutiny as those designated for Critical Sensitive positions. ANACI involves a thorough background check that includes a review of the individual's criminal history, credit history, and employment, and references are contacted to gather insights into the individual's character and reliability. This level of investigation is considered adequate for Non-Critical Sensitive roles because it balances the need for security with the understanding that not all sensitive positions pose an equal risk to national security. In contrast, other types of investigations such as the Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) are reserved for more critical positions that demand a higher degree of thoroughness. Similarly, the National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) is more suited for positions with lower sensitivity and security clearance requirements. The PPR (Personal Security Interview) may play a role in some investigations but is not a standalone investigative requirement. Thus, ANACI is the correct investigative requirement for Non-Critical Sensitive positions due to its tailored approach to assessing risk while still providing adequate oversight.
