The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency has released an updated strategic plan that will serve as its roadmap for the next five years as a provider of integrated security services in alignment with national and Department of Defense priorities.
3 Strategic Priorities
DCSA said Tuesday the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan outlines the agency’s three strategic priorities.
Those priorities are moving the agency to full performance and integration in each mission, anticipating and preparing DCSA for the future by equipping the agency to confront an evolving threat landscape in 2040 and raising the level of understanding and recognition of DCSA as the premier provider of integrated security services for the federal government with external stakeholders.
Each of the three priorities comes with specific objectives.
To move DCSA to full performance, objectives include meeting mission requirements, fostering an elite workforce, formalizing integration and improving agency decision-making.
“With a focus on quality and efficiency, we will expand our capabilities and capacity, streamline our processes, integrate cutting-edge technologies, and build greater agility to adapt and scale in times of national need,” DCSA Director David Cattler said in his opening letter in the document.
“Through this evolution, we will be true to our vision as the nation’s premier provider of integrated security services for the Federal Government,” Cattler added.
Underpinned by DOD, National Priorities
Building on the 2022–2027 Strategic Plan, the updated document is underpinned by DOD and national priorities focusing on restoring trust through effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars; achieving strength through direct support to the defense industrial base; and reestablishing deterrence through lethality, accountability, meritocracy, standards and readiness.
The new strategy also details DCSA’s mission areas, including personnel security, industrial security, counterintelligence and insider threat, security training, and field operations.
