Psychological Risk Assessment Program

Psychological assessments are structured evaluations used to identify mental health conditions, behavioral risk factors, or psychosocial stressors that may elevate the likelihood of a subject engaging in insider threat activity. These assessments can surface early indicators such as emotional instability, unmanaged stress, aggression, paranoia, or deteriorating cognitive function, each of which may impair judgment or increase susceptibility to coercion.

When integrated into workforce risk governance, psychological assessments serve as a proactive prevention mechanism, enabling tailored support, role reassignment, or clearance review before adverse actions occur. This approach is especially relevant in high-trust roles and sensitive access environments.
