Description:

The Defense Security Service is pleased to release an Electronic Communications Plan (ECP) template for use by facilities cleared under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). This new product supports the National Industrial Security Program Manual (NISPOM) and provides tools to mitigate Foreign Ownership Control or Influence. The ECP template will assist Industry with developing appropriate security countermeasures to effectively monitor electronic communications and ensure that unclassified systems/networks are protected from FOCI.

Effective immediately, those companies that are in the FOCI mitigation process and will require an ECP, must comply with the requirements of the new template within 45 days of the execution of the FOCI mitigation agreement.

Effective September 1, 2010, companies under existing FOCI mitigation agreements that require an ECP are required to be compliant with the new ECP template by the date of their next annual DSS security inspection. Companies that require assistance regarding the ECP template or its implementation should contact their Industrial Security Representative.

The above requirements apply to FOCI signatory facilities that require an Electronic Communications Plan. Branch or division locations and Subsidiary entities which fall under a FOCI signatory requiring an ECP will have 45 days from the date of the signatory facility's ECP approval to submit their site-specific ECP to their local Industrial Security Representative
