DHS/CISA/PIA-017 National Infrastructure Coordinating Center Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP) National Infrastructure Coordinating Center (NICC) is publishing this PIA to reflect activities under its Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative. The NICC SAR Initiative serves as a mechanism by which a report involving suspicious behavior related to an observed encounter or reported activity is received and evaluated to determine its potential nexus to terrorism. NICC is conducting this PIA because SAR occasionally contain personally identifiable information (PII) and NICC will be collecting and contributing SAR data for reporting and evaluation proceedings. DHS is updating this PIA to clarify that Redacted NICC Patriot Reports are reports that have been scrubbed of any identifiable information to include business and PII. August 2011
