Needs and Uses: DoD's Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity (CS) Program enhances and supports DIB CS participants' capabilities to safeguard DoD information that resides on, or transits, DIB unclassified information systems. The operational implementation of this Program requires DoD to collect, share, and manage point of contact (POC) information for Program administration and management purposes. The Government will collect typical business POC information from all DIB CS participants to facilitate communication and share cyber threat information. To implement and execute this Program within their companies, DIB CS participants provide POC information to DoD during the application process to join the Program. This information includes the names, company names and mailing address, work divisions/groups, work email addresses, and work telephone numbers of company-identified POCs. DIB CS Program POCs include the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Information Officer (CIO), Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), General Counsel, Corporate or Facility Security Officer, and the Chief Privacy Officer, or their equivalents, as well as those administrative, policy, technical staff, and personnel designated to interact with the Government in executing the DIB CS Program (e.g., typically 3-10 company designated POCs). After joining the Program, DIB CS participants provide updated POC information to DoD when personnel changes occur.

Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Private Sector and Small Businesses.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
