A basic PPR will be expanded to meet the full SSBI-PR requirements if which condition occurs?

• A. No issues are found.
• B. Security concerns are discovered.
• C. Only for low-risk positions.
• D. Never.

Answer: (B)

When a preliminary review flags security concerns, the process is designed to expand from a basic check to a full SSBI-PR. The basic PPR is a quick, initial screening; if no issues surface, it’s enough at that level. But if red flags or security concerns are discovered, a deeper, more comprehensive investigation is needed to resolve those concerns and accurately determine suitability. The full SSBI-PR includes additional records checks and follow-up inquiries to thoroughly assess trustworthiness and reliability. So the condition triggering expansion is the discovery of security concerns during the initial review. Without concerns, you wouldn’t escalate; the escalation isn’t limited to low-risk positions, and it doesn’t happen never.
