PSI requirements for Industry data collection through NISS > Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency > News Display

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is responsible for projecting Personnel Security Investigations (PSI) requirements each year. The data collection for PSI projection requirements will be conducted March 7 through April 1, 2022, through the National Industrial Security System (NISS) Submission Site. Annual projections acquired from Industry through this collection are the key components in DOD program planning and budgeting for National Industrial Security Program (NISP) security clearances.

In preparation for this upcoming data collection, our Industry partners are highly encouraged to register for their NISS accounts before March 7, in order to participate in the survey. Registration instructions are found on the NISS website under the Registration section (https://www.dcsa.mil/is/niss/).
