There are an array of benefits to OGDs and SLCs gaining CMS access to Cerberus and just a few of these are listed below:
- Increased and targeted automation, coupled with improved cross-agency interfaces, will result in a decrease in processing times for straight forward applications
- The quality of decision making will be enhanced as less time will be spent on clerical effort
- OGD and SLCs will have real time access to vetting information on which to base their decision making.
In order to have a Cerberus CMS account one of the requirements is for all users to hold a security clearance of SC or above. This must be confirmed through the revised (July 2011) SyOps Certificate of Understanding which will be sent to you upon request for an account. Additional copies can be requested through the DBS NSV Helpdesk (01904 662644).
This will ensure we can maintain our current level of confidence in the personnel security credentials of all Cerberus CMS users as an extra level of assurance in the security and integrity of Cerberus and the protection of its data.
If you require further information regarding the requirements for CMS access or have any questions concerning the completion and return of the SyOps, please contact the DBS NSV Helpdesk.
