BECK Security Clearance Act

About the Work
In the Federal Republic, over 80,000 security checks are conducted each year. These checks not only concern individuals in government agencies and the armed forces; nearly a third pertains to activities in private companies. The Security Clearance Act (SÜG) contains all the essential rules that must be observed.
This book offers a practical, scientifically grounded commentary on the SÜG. It thoroughly considers the numerous changes that the law underwent in 2017. The new "General Administrative Regulation" from 2018 is also fully integrated.
During a security check, numerous sensitive data are collected, and often inquiries are made in the vicinity of the affected person. Full transparency and judicial review face challenges; therefore, it is all the more important that the rule of law principles are meticulously adhered to in the process itself. Data protection plays a particularly significant role in this context.
