Overview
Mission
The purpose of the industrial security working group ("iswg") is to: advance the security profession within the sensitive compartmented information ("sci") community in support of united states government ("usg") programs; foster professionalism among iswg's members, as well as assist industry members and usg agencies through shared knowledge, collaboration, experience, and resources; and provide an educational forum for exchanging views and information about current and proposed methods, practices, and procedures for implementing sci security programs in industry. The board of directors ("board") of iswg also provides the usg with feedback from iswg meetings and surveys, provides data to the usg, and makes recommendations for efficient and cost effective sci industrial security programs.
What it reported doing in 2025
Iswg organizes an annual summit, which is open to all iswg members. The summits further iswg's exempt purposes by providing members with the opportunity to interact, thus chasing knowledge, experiences, and resources and these summits present educational presentations
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
