In January 2009, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the transfer of Department of Defense (DoD) enterprise wide IT systems associated with personnel security clearances from the Defense Security Service (DSS) to the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).  A Memorandum of Agreement between DSS and DMDC was signed in February 2010, which sets forth the terms and conditions of the transfer. 

The applications that transferred from DSS to DMDC include:

-       The Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS);

-       The Defense Central Index of Investigations (DCII);

-       the Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT); and,

-       The Investigative Records Repository (IRR) (also referred to as the “Improved” Investigative Records Repository (iIRR)).

The program management and operational responsibilities of these four transitioned applications now fall under the Personnel Security/Assurance (PSA) Division, which is a component of the Identity Management Directorate at DMDC.
