Their daily face-to-face customer support engages on all aspects of GIG services from the earliest requirements definition phase, to battle staff planning, fielding, high quality sustained service and modernization. Through GO, the full spectrum of DISA’s transport, information systems and information assurance capabilities are integrated and synchronized for the warfighter, both within DISA and across the other contributing Services, agencies, Joint Staff and DoD.

Field Security - enhances availability and security of the GIG by ensuring adherence to information assurance and NetOps policies, including development of guides and procedures; training of combatant commands, subordinate and Service components; implementation of standard information assurance solutions; formal certification reviews, and tracking compliance metrics.
