We are excited to share a major new update of ThreatSwitch that rolled out to all customers on Monday, May 23rd. There are many fixes and tweaks in this update to your favorite NISPOM tool so we wanted to highlight a few of the biggest changes below.

Most of all, we continue to deliver on the "big idea" that drives us: making NISPOM compliance easier for the FSO, more pleasant for the employee, and more effective and efficient for the executive.

Personnel Security Management

Threatswitch now includes a comprehensive Personnel Security module allowing FSOs to track and manage contracts, facilities, eligibilities and security clearances. This entirely new set of features includes deeper employee profiles, tracking and managing employee eligibility, employee accesses associated with cleared contracts, and document upload and tracking for each and every cleared employee in your company. The bullets below provide a quick list, but please click here for a detailed support article that walks through the screens.

Bug Fixes
