Budget Figures
FY2026 award data is a partial year — USASpending awards are reported on a rolling basis and the fiscal year does not close until September 30. why partial FY2026 data? →

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — National Industrial Security System (NISS)
The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge. The National Industrial Security System (NISS) supports the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) mission to oversee approximately 10,000 cleared companies, 12,677 contractor facilities, and 5,700 classified systems in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), ensuring that classified U.S. government information and critical technologies are properly protected. The Industrial Security (IS) Directorate uses NISS to manage and document the oversight of facilities under the National Industrial Security Program. NISS is also the system of record for facilities clearance (FCL) information and the official system that allows DCSA to improve assessment and mitigation of risks related to contractors under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), and the newly developed system repository for DD-254 forms. NISS has been adopted by the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide DoD-wide visibility and access to security related data for classified contracts, sites, and systems. NISS is being developed into a multi-level classification system to allow DoD-wide visibility of relevant intelligence, threats, and communications across the Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNet), Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication System (JWICS). NISS will enable near-real time threat awareness and discovered non-compliance vulnerabilities once fully deployed to enhance field and headquarters communication where security oversight, counterintelligence and cyber threats need to be addressed. NISS will provide the Defense Security Enterprise (DSE) visibility to know and project risks to specific industrial sites, be able to correlate FOCI concerns for large acquisition contracts and provide a database of security in direct support of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment enterprise efforts to make more secure decisions about unclassified acquisition, research, and grants. NISS is being designed to share a common operational picture of risk, vulnerability, and threat reporting across the entire NISP including the contractor Security Officials to improve transparency and timely action on identified risks. Additionally, NISS will incorporate the workflows, tools and serve as the repository for “pre award” FOCI analysis, reports and documentation of ultimate beneficiary for all DoD contracts (except commercial products and services) over $5.0 million threshold in support of Public Law 116-92, Section 847 acquisition security reform efforts outlined in the FY 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), impacting the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) comprised of more than 100,000 companies.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying Mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not National Industrial Security Systems (NISS) — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
