In this episode of Security Clearance Insecurity, we sit down with Alyssa Czyz, Director at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), to discuss GAO’s recently released report on the federal government’s personnel vetting reform initiative, Trusted Workforce 2.0 . Czyz breaks down the GAO study, its key findings, and what they reveal about the current state of implementation across the federal personnel security enterprise. From the promise of Continuous Vetting to the persistent delays with NBIS, she provides an expert look at where progress is real—and where it's still pending. We explore: What’s working—and what’s stalling—in the implementation of Trusted Workforce reforms. Why some core initiatives, like the Personnel Vetting Management Standards, remain unimplemented. How GAO assessed confidence in NBIS as the central IT system supporting background investigations. Whether Continuous Vetting can overcome its overshadowed status to become the cornerstone of a modern vetting model. Whether you're a policy wonk, FSO, or national security hiring lead, this conversation offers rare clarity into one of the government’s most ambitious—but still evolving—reform efforts. 🎧 Tune in to learn where Trusted Workforce is heading—and what it’ll take to get there.
