The Big Picture: The Ingalls Security team earned a “SUPERIOR” rating during a recent Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency (DCSA) vulnerability assessment.

  • That’s the highest rating possible under the National Industrial Security Program

Why It Matters: From badge checks and security clearance processes to threat awareness and emergency response, our Security team’s mission is your safety.

  • Their efforts protect classified information, secure our facilities and help keep our 11,000+ shipbuilders safe every day
  • This rating is a direct result of their vigilance, professionalism and teamwork

What to Know:

  • What’s Assessed: DCSA looks at how we protect classified data, physical access, personnel security, training programs and more
  • How to Earn “SUPERIOR”: Companies must go above and beyond baseline requirements, demonstrating consistent, proactive security practices that set them apart from other cleared facilities
  • What it Means for Ingalls: Our security program is considered “best in class” by the federal government, reinforcing trust in our ability to support national defense
