U.S. government vetting processes and procedures for public trust and national security positions are evolving to improve their effectiveness and to incorporate new technological capabilities. The rise of social media and other sources of information not historically used for vetting purposes are increasingly enhancing legacy vetting systems that otherwise might not uncover a prospective government employee's or contractor's propensity to cause harm to national security institutions. This reform effort is intended to protect government systems, information, and assets by ensuring aligned, effective, efficient, secure, and reciprocal processes to support a trusted federal workforce.
The authors researched, reviewed, and assembled a selected bibliography of relevant literature related to government and other relevant vetting processes and procedures. The bibliography is organized into 13 categories, each containing a short summary and analysis of the respective literature. The bibliography addresses current U.S. government practices, policies, and procedures, as well as those of the United States' Five Eyes (FVEY) community partners (the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada), and it also highlights research conducted by others within the private sector and by academic institutions.
