DHS Sets New Classified Info Sharing Standards

[ruv]

The Department of Homeland Security recently put in place new a governance structure and standards for classified information sharing that the agency says will improve government-wide information sharing. 

President Obama ordered DHS in a 2010 executive order to create information sharing standards. DHS developed the new policies, which were issued via an 88-page directive, in consultation with the intelligence community, the military, and other federal agencies; state, local, and tribal governments; and private sector organizations. The standards come more than a year after the February 2011 deadline set by the 2010 executive order.
