A Baseline clearance is the entry-level Australian Government security clearance required for individuals who need access to sensitive but not highly classified information. It is commonly required for contractors, government employees, and service providers working with federal agencies. The Baseline clearance process is conducted by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) and includes verification of identity, citizenship, employment history, and criminal record checks. Although it represents the lowest level of government security clearance, Baseline clearance still ensures that individuals accessing official information meet strict reliability and integrity requirements. Many government ICT, cybersecurity, and consulting roles require Baseline clearance as a minimum eligibility requirement. Obtaining this clearance demonstrates that an individual has been vetted and approved to work with government systems or projects where protection of sensitive information is essential.

MyRISK can support organisations with baseline clearance obligations by documenting policy acknowledgements, control ownership, exceptions, and reporting relevant to secure work contexts. It helps ensure that the surrounding management processes are visible and auditable. This creates stronger confidence in how baseline-cleared environments are governed.
