PerSecPros reviewed the latest DCSA Voice of Industry Newsletter and recent NCMS updates. Several changes require attention from FSOs and security teams, including the return of I/R/A functionality to DISS, early adoption of PVQ, updated DCSA credentials for official visits, and an enhanced Security Review Rating Score Tool.
These updates will affect visitor verification, DISS access, personnel vetting workflows, and security review preparation. New initiations in NBIS Agency will end on September 30, followed by the system shutdown on November 30. Teams should begin reviewing active cases, permissions, SOPs, trackers, and internal job aids now.
Mike’s Takeaway:
This is a transition-management checkpoint for cleared industry. FSOs should confirm DISS permissions before I/R/A actions fully return to the system. They should also identify any active cases that may be affected by the NBIS Agency deadlines.
Visitor control procedures should be updated to reflect the new DCSA credentials. The revised Security Review Rating Score Tool can also help teams identify documentation gaps before the next review. Small process gaps now can lead to delays, confusion, or rework later.
PerSecPros will continue helping cleared contractors turn DCSA updates into practical action so security programs remain prepared, compliant, and mission-ready.
