James S. Cogswell, the first chief of the unified office of Industrial Security. It is the highest honor the DSS can bestow on a cleared contractor for its National Industrial Security Program. Of the more than 13,000 cleared contractors, less than one percent are annually selected to receive this award.<\/p>\n<p>The selection process for the award is rigorous.&nbsp; First a facility must be nominated by their industrial security representative, assigned by DSS to all entities that do business with the government.&nbsp; The organization must also have achieved two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings. The nominees then go through a vigorous national vetting process that includes external vetting and a national team review. The national review team then consolidates and ranks the nominations, and that ranked listing is submitted to the director of DSS for final approval.<\/p>\n<p>The award will be presented by Stanley L. Sims, director of the DSS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The university will be presented with the James S.
