AThe individual has previously worked in a similar position

BThe individual is holding a professional security training certificate

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

EPI's physical security framework requires mandatory background screening for all individuals assigned to security roles, regardless of:

previous experience

certifications

law enforcement background

length of employment

Security personnel have privileged access to sensitive areas and are responsible for enforcing access control, incident response, and compliance. Therefore:

No exemptions are permitted.

Prior experience or certification does not replace a formal background check.

Even previous law enforcement staff must undergo screening.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

EPI DCFOM-Aligned Reference Concepts (Paraphrased)

Background screening is mandatory for all security personnel.

No exceptions are permitted, regardless of experience or qualifications.

I think I remember something about exemptions based on prior experience, so maybe A could be right?
