Which system is a centralized database securely connecting DoD security personnel around the world and used to record adjudicative actions and determinations?

• A. CVS
• B. PIPS
• C. DCPDS
• D. JPAS

Answer: (D)

The right concept is a centralized, globally accessible system that holds all security adjudication records. JPAS, the Joint Personnel Adjudication System, fits this perfectly. It is designed to securely connect DoD security offices and personnel worldwide and to record adjudicative actions and determinations—so you have a single, up-to-date source for who is cleared, what investigations have been completed, and what the resulting decisions are. Its role is to enable authorized users to access and share clearance information across agencies while maintaining strict security controls and an audit trail. Other systems serve different functions (verification, personnel records, etc.) and do not provide this unified adjudicative database, making JPAS the best match.
