What type of data can be found in the DISS system?

The DISS (Defense Information System for Security) system primarily contains personnel security information, including details about individuals' clearance levels. This system is designed to facilitate the processing and management of personnel security investigations and information related to national security.

Personnel security information ensures that the individuals working within sensitive positions or accessing classified information have the necessary background and eligibility to do so, making it critical for national security operations. This includes not only the clearance levels but also information pertinent to investigations, suitability determinations, and related security processes.

In contrast, while financial records of contractors, public records of defense contracts, and employee performance reviews might exist within other systems or databases, they do not fall under the purview of DISS. The focus of DISS is specifically on personnel security rather than financial or performance evaluations.
