The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency has posted two new training videos on its Security Training, Education, and Professionalization Portal (STEPP) to help defense industry partners prepare for the move to DISS for Initiate and Review (I/R) functions.
The recorded modules are intended to walk industry users through the new I/R capabilities and ease the transition ahead of key system changes later this year.
Where to find the training:

– IS IRA DEMO – Review: https://securitytraining.dcsa.mil/course/view.php?id=2737
Key dates for the transition:
– July 31, 2026: Industry I/R functionality goes live in DISS
– September 30, 2026: Final day to initiate cases in NBIS Agency
– November 30, 2026: NBIS Agency scheduled to be turned off
DCSA’s update signals a shift of industry case initiation and review workflows into DISS, with the new STEPP videos positioned as primary onboarding resources for security managers and facility security officers seeking to understand the revised processes.
