National Industrial Security Program

The National Industrial Security Program (NISP) is a U.S. government initiative that works with private companies to protect sensitive information related to national security. It sets standards and procedures for safeguard and handling classified information in private industry, ensuring that contractors and vendors follow strict security measures. Participants in the program undergo background checks and security training to prevent unauthorized disclosures. The goal is to allow government and industry to collaborate effectively while keeping sensitive data safe from theft, espionage, or leaks, ultimately supporting national defense and security interests.
