Hello,
I am stumped on how to concisely translate "security clearance" here. I know that a person with a s.c. is a Geheimnisträger, but what is a s.c. by itself?
Here is the context:
"Special procedures must be followed when handling proprietary and confidential information relating to ABC's dealings with the U.S. government. In addition, ABC may receive inquiries from government investigators for employee information. (Examples include: inquiries from government investigators for employee information; information on reporting requirements and processing of security clearances or violations of the Corporate Personal Integrity Program (CPIP))"
Thanks very much in advance!
Gabriele

There is no card or certicate issued (in the US) when you get a security clearance, merely an entry on the appropriate personnel form, e.g. for me in my Army 201 file. A listing of personnel's security clearances used to be maintained by the security office - probably just an online database now - that can be checked to verify someone has the appropriate clearance.

Can't give you the German, but
perhaps I can shed some light on the process.
To receive one, you will have your background investigated (how long has he lived here? Any problems with the family? Too much drinking, gambling, drugs, other illegal activities?). This investigation is handled by the government. The person applying for the sc fills out a form listing residence, sources of income, etc. This will all form the basis for the questions asked. They also want to know who your neighbors are, list a few references and, in my case at least, some translation agencies I have worked for (You want to freak out an agency? Have a government investigator show up asking questions about one of your translators!).
This is all part of the "processing of the sc" and may include follow-up questions.
Then, a year after you needed it, your classification shows up and you can work on the job!

Sicherheitsermächtigung
I'm not really familiar with US procedures, but I found this document on the German US Embassy website - it's an official document and they're referring to security clearance as "Sicherheitsermächtigung."

I believe Ted's term is better, even if "Sicherheit" is a bit vague.

Sicherheitsfreigabe
Mir scheint, ich habe den Begriff schon so gehört.

Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung
Mann koennte vielleicht noch "in Sicherheitsangelegenheiten" hinzufuegen, wie unten vorgeschlagen, ist aber etwas lang. "Jemandem etwas bescheinigen" heisst sowiel wie "jemandem etwas bestaetigen". Ich wuerde sagen, man kann dies sowohl verwenden, wenn der betreffenden Person etwas schriftlich ausgestellt wurde, als auch bei einem blossen Vermerk im Computer.

Sicherheitsstufe
here are some examples: "Bei Multi Level Security erhalten ((Subject|Subjekte)) und ... Nur wer eine ausreichende Sicherheitsstufe (Freigabe, Clearance) hat, darf..."
No. 2 "Security Clearance A3. ... Chipuebermittlung #21.A.DRK.JEZ Sicherheitsstufe Alpha. ... " usw.. once granted, the security clearance would be the "Sicherheitsstufe"; if the actual "clearance" procedure is still in progress, then "Überprüfung" would be the correct term, certainly. Hope that helps EhvP

Discussion
For clarity: I'm interested in the German term for the paper/certificate or ID card one gets when one has passed the security clearance check.
