The Department of Homeland Security has published a Request for Information (RFI) that requests
industry feedback on existing Government product performance requirements involving the Situational Awareness Incident Response (SAIR) Tier III project. The objective of SAIR Tier III is to provide U.S. Government (USG) agencies the ability to assess, assure, monitor, and measure the security posture of their information technology (IT) assets in a timely manner (i.e., near-real time.) This RFI provides an opportunity for respondents to submit their ideas and initiatives related to this request. Additionally, respondents will have the opportunity to comment on the draft product performance requirements for SAIR III listed on Attachment 2.
The Government may use feedback that results from this RFI and industry day to further refine technical requirements to potentially establish qualified product list (QPL) for COTS products that can be utilized by federal, state, and local Governments for Information Security Continuous Monitoring.
For more information, please see the DHS RFI here. The attachments, including DHS’ Draft SAIR Tier III Product Performance Requirements for Information Security Continuous Monitoring is available here.
