The term "security clearance" is also sometimes used in private organizations that have a formal process to vet employees for access to sensitive information . A clearance by itself is normally not sufficient to gain access; the organization must also determine that the cleared individual needs to know specific information . No one is supposed to be granted automatic access to classified information solely because of rank, position, or a security clearance . </P> <P> Government classified information is governed by the Treasury Board Standard on Security Screening, the Security of Information Act and Privacy Act . Only those that are deemed to be loyal and reliable, and have been cleared are allowed to access sensitive information . The policy was most recently revised on 20 October 2014 . </P>
