The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Office of the Chief Security Officer (OCSO) is responsible for the procurement, licensing and service of CISA physical security equipment to support the secure occupancy and operations of CISA facilities. As a new Agency, CISA must provision for its own independent physical security service to prevent critical security system failures that would prohibit occupancy of CISA facilities and delay project schedules. Under DHS OCSO’s current services, each physical security upgrade, installation and equipment repair project requires a separate justification and CISA funding, creating project delays. OCSO’s regional mission also requires travel to smaller regional offices to ensure the installation and maintenance of security hardware, key and lock support, and electronic security system support and maintenance.
