ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Trusted Workforce 2.0 has changed how the government vets its people. The old model of periodic reinvestigation, which was basically "set it and forget it," has given way to continuous vetting. Adjudicators now have to reassess risk as each new alert comes in. The policy is in place, but agencies are still working out how to carry it out day to day.
In this episode of ClearedCast, Lindy Kyzer talks with Aarti Smith, CEO of Chainbridge Solutions, about the "continuous vetting gap," the space between getting a Continuous Vetting Action Report (CVAR) and managing it well at scale. They cover:
- Why a single CVAR rarely tells the full story, and why the whole-person concept still matters
- How DCSA's move toward DISS as a shared services hub helps, and why API integrations are the next step
- The manual work that still slows agencies down: roster management, enrollment, and alerts for people affiliated with more than one agency
- What happens when public trust and suitability populations are added under Trusted Workforce 2.0
- What a modern personnel security system needs: automated triage, risk weighting, dashboards, and integrations with HR, identity management, and insider threat systems
- What applied AI can and can't do in adjudication (it supports the decision-maker but doesn't replace them)
- Why the applicant experience matters as much as the security team's, and how applicant portals help
If you work in personnel security, adjudication, or federal HR, this episode is a practical look at where continuous vetting stands now and what agencies should tackle first.
