Who is responsible for entering COMSEC incidents reported into the NCIRS database?

The responsibility for entering COMSEC incidents reported into the NCIRS (National COMSEC Incident Reporting System) database lies with the NCMS (National COMSEC Managerization Support). The NCMS serves as the authoritative body that oversees the management and proper documentation of COMSEC incidents. This includes ensuring that all reported incidents are accurately entered into the NCIRS, providing a centralized record for analysis, trend identification, and future prevention measures.

The role of the NCMS is crucial for maintaining the integrity of COMSEC operations and supporting the broader national security strategy. By managing the incident reporting process, the NCMS helps ensure that all relevant information is captured and can be used for assessing risks and improving COMSEC policies and procedures.

Other entities such as the COMSEC Account Manager, Validation Authority, and Command Authority play significant roles in managing COMSEC materials and operations, but they do not have the designated responsibility to input incidents into the NCIRS database. The distinction of responsibility here highlights the structured process in place to manage COMSEC incidents, indicating the need for specialized oversight in the reporting system.
