Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
announced
that it had received from DOD the “National Industrial Security Program
Operating Manual (NISPOM)” for review.
According to the abstract for this
action in the Spring 2020 Unified Agenda:
“This rule will codify the National
Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) which prescribes specific
requirements, restrictions, and other safeguards that are necessary to preclude
unauthorized disclosure and control authorized disclosure of Federal Government
classified information to contractors, licensees, or grantees. The NISPOM
applies to the release of classified information during all phases of the
contracting process, including bidding, negotiation, award, performance, and
termination of contractors, the licensing process or the grant process, with or
under the control of departments or agencies.”
Commentary
No, I am not going to start digging into the ins and outs of
NISP. The publication, however, of this manual will probably serve as a good,
informational guide to any organization that is considering trying to get
routine access to classified cyber-threat intelligence information from the
government.
