DHS/ALL/PIA-050 DHS Trusted Identity Exchange

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Trusted Identity Exchange (TIE) is a privacy-enhancing DHS Enterprise Service that enables and manages the digital flow of identity, credential, and access-management data for DHS employees and contractors. It does so by establishing connections to various internal authoritative data sources and provides a secure, digital interface to consuming applications. A consuming application is any system that requires some form of identity, credential, and access-management data in order to grant logical or physical access. DHS is updating this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to discuss TIE’s expanded sharing to consuming applications outside of DHS. September 2020
