Overview[]
The National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee (NISPPAC) was created on January 8, 1993, by the President under Section 103 of Executive Order 12829, "National Industrial Security Program."
It is comprised of both Government and industry representatives and is responsible for recommending changes in industrial security policy through modifications to Executive Order 12829, its implementing directives, and the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual.
The NISPPAC also advises the Information Security Oversight Office on all matters concerning the policies of the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), including recommended changes to those policies, and serves as a forum to discuss policy issues in dispute.
