Information Sharing


Mission: To foster information sharing internally within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), horizontally within the U.S. government, vertically across state, local territorial, and private sector partners, and horizontally with the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of foreign allies.

Challenge

The Department of Homeland Security employs a policy team that assesses the state of information sharing across Federal, state and local entities.  This team is developing both a vision and an implementation plan that will enable information sharing across many shared mission communities.

Solution

Synteras deploys a team of TS/SCI-cleared policy analysts who are responsible for:

  • Evaluating and coordinating policy to promote information exchange across Federal, state, local and private sector partners
  • Outreach to specific groups, proactively supporting the flow of information and ensuring compliance
  • Providing strategic guidance and modeling of outcomes — what would be different if specific entities shared specific information?
