新西兰关于NSC的一些看法

在新西兰

很多人NSC都很长时间，很是费解啊，不知道NSC主要是调查什么？犯罪？诚信？还是？如果是犯罪记录，其实在申请人的户籍所在地的派出所就可以查出某个身份证是否有犯罪记录，都是全国联网的，任何一个派出所都可以查，其实，结果都是立马可取，
这个大家国内都弄过。诚信方面也就是银行征信系统可以查询，最多也就是一个礼拜，不知道为什么要这么长时间，有人说这是有意为之，不知道大家看法

A Guide to Security Clearances

What is a security clearance?
It is essential to ensure that information important to New Zealand’s national interests or security (‘official information’) is protected from unauthorised access.  A security clearance gives some assurance around the suitability of a person to access official information at a level corresponding to the level of security clearance held.

The levels of security clearance are Confidential, Secret and Top Secret.

Holding a clearance does not give access to all official information.  You must still have a legitimate need to access information.  This is known as the “need to know” principle.

Why do you need a security clearance?
New Zealand Government policies require all government agencies to ensure that people entrusted with official information and resources:

Are eligible and suitable to have access
Have had their identity established, and
Are able to comply with the standards that safeguard information and resources.
Government departments and agencies determine suitability to access official information through an assessment of an individual's background, consisting of (but not limited to):

Records checks and enquiries, carried out as part of pre-employment checks, and
through a formal vetting process conducted by the NZSIS to assess an individual’s honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty and their appreciation of security responsibilities and obligations.
What does a clearance mean for your employment?
If a candidate is unsuccessful in obtaining the required level of security clearance appropriate for their role, then they may not be able to commence employment.  If they have already commenced then they may not be able to continue their employment.  Similarly, if an employee loses, or has their clearance downgraded, then that may also impact on ongoing employment or future career opportunities.

It is Ministry policy to require New Zealand citizenship of any staff who may be posted overseas.

What is the process to obtain a security clearance?
As a first step your referees will be contacted and your qualifications and identity will be checked against the information provided as part of your job application.  Criminal history and credit checks will also be conducted.

You will be asked to complete a vetting form that contains a “Consent for Disclosure Questionnaire”.  This allows the NZSIS to carry out checks against criminal and security intelligence databases and undertake referee and background checks as necessary.

When enquiries are complete, the NZSIS provides a formal assessment to the CEO of the Ministry on your suitability to hold a security clearance.  The Ministry then decides whether to grant a clearance based on the pre-employment checks, the assessment from the NZSIS and any other relevant information it may hold.

Current clearances may be able to be transferred between organisations in some circumstances.

Exemptions from legislation
The NZSIS has an exemption under legislation to gather information that may be protected and to make recommendations that may otherwise breach the law. Such legislation includes, but is not limited to:

The Privacy Act
The Official Information Act
The Human Rights Act
The Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act
Why might a clearance be denied or delayed?
There are a number of reasons a clearance might be denied, including:

Incorrect, incomplete or dishonest answers
Potential for conflicts of interest or loyalty
Evidence of dishonest or illegal behaviour
Susceptibility to pressure or influence
Failure to obtain a clearance is not a negative reflection on your character or reputation. Rather it is an assessment that there may be circumstances that could present risks to the protection of official material.  Any doubt about an individual’s ability to access official material must be resolved conservatively to protect official information and our national interest.

A clearance might not be granted if vetting enquiries can’t be completed.  The most common reasons for this occurring are:

Residence outside New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States for a period of 5 to 10 years before application for a clearance.
A lack of response from referees provided in your application.
The reasons above can also lead to enquiries being delayed.  The Ministry has no influence over vetting times; you can ensure a quicker vetting by ensuring referees cooperate and by advising the Ministry of changes to the details in your form.

Qualified clearances
Sometimes the NZSIS will return a qualified assessment. This is most common where an individual has strong ties to another country. A qualified assessment may prevent you from working in some roles at the Ministry.

Information from the NZSIS
If there is a problem regarding your application for a clearance, the Ministry will attempt to work through it with you if possible.

The NZSIS provides information that relates to clearances to the Ministry on a strictly confidential basis. This may mean that the Ministry is unable to provide you with the reasons that have led to the failure to grant a security clearance (pursuant to section 29(b) of the Privacy Act). This section allows the Ministry to withhold information that amounts to evaluative material when doing so would breach an implied or express promise that the information would be held in confidence.

You are entitled to complain to the Privacy Commissioner if this occurs to ask for a review of the Ministry decision to withhold information.

You can also make a request for personal information directly to the NZSIS.

What to do if you think a clearance was unfairly denied
New Zealand citizens or residents who feel they have been adversely affected by any act, omission, practice, policy or procedure of the NZSIS are able to complain to the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security. Complaints can include matters relating to the conduct of and reports concerning security clearance vetting.

The Inspector-General can inquire into any complaint and may make recommendations for redress.

Complaints to the Inspector-General should be made in writing, addressed to the Inspector-General, care of the Registrar of the High Court in Wellington.

Ongoing Management and Compliance
Assessment as to your suitability to access official information continues after a clearance is granted.

The Ministry Code of Conduct requires employees to notify any change in personal circumstances.

Your clearance will be reviewed five years from when it was granted and you will be required to undergo another vetting, unless circumstances require an earlier review.  If you leave the Ministry, your clearance will be considered to have lapsed.
