DSAC Membership Application Form

Membership and Engagement Committee voting sessions are held quarterly. Please allow four-to-six months to receive an application decision. Submission of this application does not guarantee DSAC membership. All applications are subject to evaluation and approval by the local FBI office Private Sector Coordinator (PSC), the DSAC Program Office at FBI HQ, and the DSAC Membership Engagement Committee (MEC), composed of security leaders representing DSAC’s peer, private organizations.

As part of the application review process, DSAC evaluates each prospective member’s potential contribution to the DSAC public-private partnership. Applicants must demonstrate a strong understanding of how private-sector security supports the Nation’s broader security strategy. Applications that clearly explain how the organization manages both physical and cyber risks — to protect its own interests while supporting the protection of critical infrastructure — will be viewed more favorably. The membership committee places a high value on comprehensive, collaborative security programs that enhance situational awareness and strengthen overall resilience.

The Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC) is a corporate membership program. This application must be submitted by the U.S.-based senior security executive (CSO/CISO or equivalent) of the organization applying for membership. Please make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information. All information is required and will be verified. You may direct questions about this application form to DSAC@fbi.gov.
