ISMS will replace the multiple security management systems currently in use across DHS HQ and Component organizations with a single commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based enterprise-wide security management solution.
The Office of Security has conducted market research to ensure that such a solution is commercially available.
The solution provides a common repository for personnel security records across the Components facilitating
the aggregate reporting that DHS must provide to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
Furthermore, a consolidated system reduces the number of discrete interfaces that must be established and maintained with external systems. Finally, a consolidated solution provides the ability to shift personnel security resources from one Component to another for surge support without incurring extensive retraining.
