Federal Personnel Vetting & Enterprise Vetting
Identify. Analyze. Defend.
Xcelerate provides comprehensive federal personnel vetting, background investigation, continuous vetting, suitability and security-related services that help government agencies make informed decisions about workforce trust and risk.
For more than 15 years, Xcelerate has supported the federal personnel-vetting mission, helping agencies navigate evolving policies, regulations, technology and operational requirements. Our nationwide capabilities span the personnel-vetting lifecycle—from investigations and analysis to continuous monitoring and actionable intelligence.
Our mission is simple: help ensure that the right people have the right access, while identifying potential risks before they become threats.
THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF FEDERAL SUITABILITY
The Office of Personnel Management’s recent revisions to 5 CFR 731 represent one of the most significant changes to federal suitability authorities in decades. For the first time, OPM may take suitability actions based on misconduct that occurs after an employee enters federal service. As agencies expand continuous vetting under Trusted 2.0, this new authority could fundamentally alter how misconduct is addressed across the federal workforce.
Xcelerate helps federal agencies implement and operate within the evolving Trusted Workforce 2.0 environment, including changes to personnel vetting policy, Continuous Vetting, suitability requirements, investigative processes and supporting systems.
Our nationwide background investigations team conducts in-depth field interviews, analyzes continuous-vetting alerts, and produces timely, actionable intelligence reports to ensure the federal workforce remains secure, reliable, and mission-ready.
We provide identity resolution and threat analysis, giving agencies the insights they need to assess risks, strengthen national security, and protect the American people.
