NISP eMASS DAAPM DCSA Requirements for Insider Threats - Download Insider Threat Program

Version 2.2 (31 August 2020) of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency Assessment and Authorization Process Manual (DAAPM) mentions the phrase "insider threat" fifteen times, and for good reason.  It's well-known that cleared industry has strict requirements for implementing and maintaining an insider threat program. 

The DAAPM also incorporates Insider Threat minimum requirements defined in the NISPOM, which are consistent with the requirements of Executive Order 13587, Structural Reforms to Improve the Security of Classified Networks and the Responsible Sharing of Classified Information, and the Presidential Memorandum, National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Threat Programs.

As to specific requirements for cleared industry, the DAAPM states the following:

  • Coordinating with the cleared contractor’s Facility Security Officer (FSO) and the cleared contractor’s Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO) to ensure insider threat awareness is addressed within the cleared contractor’s system security programs.
  • Ensuring insider threat awareness is addressed within the cleared contractor’s security program.
  • Coordinating and conducting periodic self-inspections related to the activity, information, system, and conditions of the overall security program, to include the insider threat program.
