A definition generalized from search results is a draft to react to, not provenance. Confirm it against an authority document before this term is verified.
A web lookup ran when this term was proposed
A descriptive classification applied to personnel, users, or subjects whose combination of access privileges, role responsibilities, or personal circumstances creates an elevated probability or magnitude of harm—either to the organization (e.g., through insider threat, privileged misuse) or to themselves (e.g., through targeting by adversaries). In personnel-security frameworks aligned to NIST SP 800-53, the designation covers those with access to highly sensitive information assets or critical facilities, and it governs the level of screening, clearance, and training applied to those positions. Across the field the label is used contextually—not as a fixed defined term—to trigger differential controls such as enhanced background checks, accelerated or targeted security-awareness training, and priority or expedited incident notification, as in the source document's reference to varied notification time periods for high-risk individuals versus the general workforce.
Advisory only. A term this product ships is defined by an authority document, not by a search result.
