Risk Rating Tool
Abstract
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency manages the Defense Vetting Directorate (DVD) for the entire government to support personnel vetting requirements. DVD has established itself as the mission authority for personnel security, vetting, and insider threat for the federal government. Continuous Evaluation (CE) program incorporates continual monitoring of individuals in support of the federal investigation standards for security clearances. This funding facilities two critical objectives the Risk Rating Tool and a Research & Innovation fund for future capabilities. DVD continues to develop the Risk Rating Tool (RRT) to focus data acquisition on individuals demonstrating high behaviors risk as identified by Machine Learning modeling approaches. DVD will expand, test, and evaluate RRT models for the entire DoD population. The second objective of the funds is to establish a Behavioral Research and Innovation fund to support such entities as PERSEREC to continue to understand cleared populations, validate and or inform policy offices, and support in the development of business rules with scientifically back recommendations. Additional the funds in out years will support prototypes, and pilots in Continuous Vetting to ensure an agile ability to test and evaluate state of the art technology that can support and off set existing Continuous Vetting processes in such areas as: Robotic Process Automation, Gamification, Bio-Metrics/Credibility, Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Chatbots, and other state of the art technologies that can be developed, prototyped, and piloted. DVD will utilize the Risk Rating Tool models to identify individuals with high risk stressors mapped to the 13 Adjudicative guidelines. Use of the Risk Rating Tool for case management and enrollment into High, Medium, Low Continuous Vetting Tier management is projected to generate cost avoidance in data acquisition by focusing resources on high risks rather than a randomly selected process. Execution of small scale prototypes or pilots will facilitate demonstrating value added before full scale integration, ensuring funds are not executed on an effort that cannot scale or meet all requirements.
