Abstract:
The National Industrial Security System (NISS) is the repository of records and collection instrument for information pertaining to contractor facility security clearances (FCL) and contractor capabilities to protect classified information in its possession. Information collected and stored is utilized to determine if a company and its key management personnel are eligible for issuance of a facility clearance in accordance with 32 CFR Part 117 requirements. In addition, information is utilized to inform Government Contracting Activities (GCAs) of contractor’s ability to maintain facility clearance status and/or storage capability as well as to analyze vulnerabilities identified within security programs and ensure proper mitigation actions are taken to preclude unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
