1.3: Information Sharing Agreements

Streamline the Development of Information Sharing Agreements

Other Information:

Information sharing to protect national security relies on availability of information from many government agencies, the private sector, and foreign partners, all of which have diverse missions and information collection and dissemination policies. As a result, developing interagency information sharing agreements is often a critical step in the success of cross-agency collaboration. Unfortunately, this step is often protracted as agencies attempt to determine mutually agreeable requirements and restrictions related to information access, handling, and use based on differing missions, requirements, restrictions, and authorities. Creating a template, based on common legal and policy compliance requirements would streamline the process, facilitate issue resolution, and enhance partnerships with private sector and foreign partners.
