Fresh Haystack includes a secure Applicant Portal enabling candidates to complete pre-screening questionnaires, upload documents, and track clearance status in real-time—reducing FSO administrative burden by 60%. Mobile-optimized with federal-grade security controls and encrypted document upload.

Pre-built Workday integration enables automated employee demographic imports, forms automation, and training requirement tracking. Nightly batch synchronization keeps personnel data current while eliminating duplicate entry. Our clients find this integration pays for itself by cutting days from the clearance process.

Yes—Fresh Haystack's LCAP layer has built-in compliance guardrails. Mission owners use visual tools to modify workflows, forms, and rules. The platform validates changes against SEAD-3/4/6/7, NISPOM 32 CFR Part 117, and TW 2.0 in real-time—it won't let you deploy violations. Complete audit trails document everything. When SEAD-7 was published, customers deployed updates same day vs. waiting months for vendor development cycles.

4-6 weeks on average using proven federal blueprints (vs. 6-12 months for traditional software, 12-18 months for generic LCAP customization). System-in-parallel deployment means current operations continue uninterrupted while the new platform proves value. Federal example: 300K+ users migrated with zero unplanned downtime across 18-month NBIS transition. You control the timeline and pace—no forced cutover, no "rip and replace" risk.

Fresh Haystack automates TW 2.0 continuous vetting workflows with AI-RIDE behavioral analytics that eliminate manual monitoring overhead. The platform continuously ingests data from background investigations, FBI RapBack alerts, foreign travel reporting, self-reporting, and access patterns to generate real-time risk scores. High-risk indicators trigger automated escalation with full context. Low-risk population remains under streamlined monitoring. FSOs handle expanded cleared populations with existing staff through intelligent automation that surfaces genuine threats, not false positives.

Fresh Haystack operates as federated intelligence—your data stays in existing systems while RIx provides automation and AI-powered insights. Choose full end-to-end personnel security management within Fresh Haystack or integrate via pre-built APIs with your current tools. The LCAP layer enables mission owners to customize workflows without vendor dependency, while AI-RIDE adds behavioral analytics that traditional FSO tools can't provide. You get intelligence multiplication, not just digitized forms.

Your data architecture remains under your complete control. Fresh Haystack operates as federated intelligence—we don't centralize or extract your sensitive data. The LCAP layer gives mission owners direct control over workflows, forms, and business rules through visual tools. You're not dependent on our services team for every change. If you ever choose to migrate, you own your data and process definitions. Our goal is building your capability, not creating perpetual dependency.
