1.2: Common Processes
Increase the Use of Increase the Use of Common Processes Other Information:
Many communities use common processes for acquiring, accessing, retaining, producing, using, managing, sharing, and safeguarding
information. The SAR process used by the National Network of Fusion Centers and local law enforcement entities, for example,
includes stakeholder outreach, privacy protections, training, and enabling technology to identify and report suspicious activity
in jurisdictions across the country, and serves as the unified focal point for sharing SAR information. Common processes,
like SAR, provide organizations a template for repeatable, interoperable, and trusted protocols. Standardization, with built-in
flexibility for evolving mission requirements, also improves timely information discovery, access, and exchange and makes
it easier to integrate new partners into existing information flows. Not only does increasing the use of common processes
provide opportunities to strengthen privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, it enables the implementation of vetted measures
to safeguard information.
