Annual NISP Cost Collection Survey
The Annual NISP Cost Collection Survey will be fielded on January 22, 2013 and remain open through COB February 4, 2013. As the Executive Agency for the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), the Department of Defense is required to report annually, the cost of the NISP, to the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO). We determine the costs by surveying a stratified random sample of NISP contractors who possess classified information at their cleared facility. The survey and methodology has been approved by OMB and the burden on respondents is minimal. The survey requests a facility to estimate annual security labor cost and the percentage of total security costs attributed to labor. Each Facility's data will remain anonymous. If your facility is selected at random, we appreciate your cooperation and submission of the cost information by February 4, 2013. As in years past, verification of the legitimacy of the Survey URL can be obtained through your Cognizant Security Office.
