The DSAC has established committees to support its members and drive important DSAC functions forward. These committees are chaired by a private sector member company representative. The EWG shall be assisted in carrying out its responsibilities through the work of committees.

Information-Sharing & Training Committee (ITC)

Information-Sharing & Training Committee (ITC): The ITC, the newest DSAC committee established through the consolidation of the ETC and TRISC committees, is responsible for information-sharing. The ITC sets DSAC’s annual education and training priorities by identifying relevant topics and trends, while facilitating secure and timely information sharing to mitigate threats and strengthen community resilience. It supports DSAC membership through webinars, threat bulletins and in-person events that promote best practices, measures training effectiveness, and foster collaboration across the security community.

The Membership and Engagement Committee (MEC)

The MEC is responsible for establishing policies, procedures, and standards for the DSAC to include new member vetting, removing members, and engagement requirements consistent with the basic criteria established by the USG. The MEC ensures new members are immediately keyed into the opportunities and resources DSAC has to offer. Additionally, as DSAC grows and evolves, the MEC reviews the DSAC composition to ensure all sectors, subsectors, and regions are represented.

Senior Advisory Group (SAG)

SAG members serve to share legacy knowledge and provide additional private sector perspective by teaching, presenting, and mentoring current DSAC members. Members join Committee initiatives as well as conduct independent activities and provide the DSAC EWG with recommendations. The SAG is comprised of former EWG Members and Committee Chairs who were highly involved during their leadership tenure.
