Directive (PS-1 Personnel Security)
The Government of New Brunswick (GNB) shall establish, implement, and maintain a formal personnel security directive to ensure that individuals accessing organizational information systems and facilities are properly vetted, trusted, and managed throughout their employment or engagement lifecycle.
Purpose
This directive establishes the governance necessary to safeguard organizational assets by ensuring that access is restricted to individuals who have and maintain appropriate security clearances.
The objective of the Personnel Security Directive is to ensure that a standardized approach is used for personnel security within GNB so that:
- individuals with access to sensitive information meet security criteria
- information systems are protected during personnel actions. e.g., transfer, resignations, etc.
