The clearance eligibility guidelines are the same, but the way clearances are granted and how suitability is addressed can change significantly between federal agencies. We often talk about the security clearance process as the broad DoD road affecting more than 95 percent of applicants - the red pill, as it were - and the blue pill, which represents the narrow path of Intelligence Community clearances and suitability determinations, where special access programs are much more likely to require a polygraph and have more stringent application of the criteria.
