### Project 006 — NISS

Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge. The National Industrial Security System (NISS) supports the DCSA mission to oversee approximately 10,000 cleared companies, 12,677 contractor facilities, and 5,700 classified systems in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) are properly protected. The Industrial Security (IS) Directorate uses NISS to manage and document the oversight of facilities under the NISP. NISS is also the system of record for facilities clearance (FCL) information and the official system that allows DCSA to improve assessment and mitigation of risks related to contractors under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), and the newly developed system repository for the Department of War (DOW) Contract Classification Speciation (Form DD-254). NISS has been adopted by the DoW to provide visibility and access to security related data for classified contracts, sites, and systems. NISS is being developed into a multi-level classification system to allow visibility of relevant intelligence, threats, and communications across the Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNet), Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication System (JWICS). NISS will enable near-real time threat awareness and discovered non-compliance vulnerabilities once fully deployed to enhance field and headquarters communication where security oversight, counterintelligence and cyber threats need to be addressed.
