Program Protection

Abstract

Protects Missile Defense information, Critical Program Information, technologies, and deploying systems; develops and coordinates Security Classification Guides; and performs declassification reviews to identify equities that warrant continued protection in order to preserve the technological advantage of the MDS. Program Protection also coordinates MDA intelligence, counterintelligence and security to help MDS test activities. Program goals include: - Perform reviews required for all Agency public release, security classification, and FOIA and Mandatory Declassification Reviews to ensure sensitive Missile Defense information is not inadvertently released into the public domain - Perform Information Security program management and oversee implementation by MDA programs -- Perform internal program reviews, policy oversight and implementation, and training to identify and fix deficiencies and protect critical information -- Collect information required for annual reports and communicate security posture to leadership - Provide security oversight for the Agency's classified contracts by drafting and coordinating DD254 "Contract Security Classification Specification" documents - Execute an effective SCRM program to prevent unmitigated risks from degrading the performance of components and systems across the BMDS supply chain - Provide dedicated on-site security and protection of Missile Defense resources and personnel at operational sites in Alaska, California and Colorado to ensure security protection coverage of MDS mission operations and test assets based in those regions - Perform systematic Declassification reviews on historical Agency information to prevent unauthorized disclosures due to automatic declassification requirements - Identify and integrate Physical Security requirements for overseas sites with existing or planned missile defense weapons or sensor systems to ensure protection of deployed sites - Provide effective physical protection to low density/high demand emerging Warfighter capability - Expand security activities to include FMS - Conduct program protection planning for the continuing assessment of candidate critical program information for Advanced Technology programs and reassessment of other MDA programs affected by technical baseline changes; ensure critical technologies embedded in missile defense systems are not vulnerable to compromise - Keep pace with mission growth in program protection, system security engineering, acquisition security, and SCRM Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
