ISE Functional and Technical Standards

The Common Information Sharing Standards (CISS) program allows for business process-driven, performance-based "common standards" for preparing terrorism information for maximum distribution and access, to enable the acquisition, access, retention, production, use, management, and sharing of terrorism information within the ISE.

The following are the current ISE Functional and Technical Standards. Related fact sheets and older versions of standards are available for viewing in the document repository.
