The DARPA PSR is unparalleled in any other contract position in the DoD. They are not simply rote executors of standard security processes. They must analyze and create protection strategies and tactics, frequently for technologies that exist nowhere else. They are not stove-piped into a specific type of program security support (i.e., just collateral, just SAP or SCI, or just CUI). They are responsible for providing expert security support to a program portfolio that may include fundamental research, controlled unclassified, collateral, SAP, SCI, and other compartmented information categories. As they are imbedded directly into the Technical Offices as part of a DARPA PM’s team, they are the “tip of the spear” for execution of SID’s primary function, enabling the secure development of DARPA technologies.

PSRs require a bachelor’s degree and five years of related DoD or IC program security experience, or an associate degree and eight years of related experience.

The PSR requires expertise in a broad range of topics including, but not limited to:
  • Principles governing the execution of fundamental research
  • Risks associated with undue foreign influence at U.S. colleges and universities
  • CUI policies and their associated DFARS clauses
  • S&T protection planning
  • Creation of classification architectures
  • Operations Security (OPSEC)
  • Communications Security (COMSEC)
  • Sensitive test planning
  • Intelligence oversight requirements
  • Intelligence & counterintelligence threat support requirements
  • Secure information transmission
  • Secure hardware transportation
PSRs must also possess the interpersonal communications skills required to foster confidence in their knowledge and, thus, confidence in the advice and recommendations they provide to PSOs, PMs, SETAs, Technical Office leadership, and industry/government partners.
PSRs are responsible for the following functions:
  1. Develop and implement security architectures for new technology programs across the spectrum of classification, including the ability to facilitate intelligence requests to obtain state-of-the-world, rest-of-the-world, and state-of-the-art technology/capability status. In developing a new program, the PSR must be able to analyze the program objectives, to include identification of core technologies and projected end items, determine applicable national security policy, identify existing related programs (as applicable) to ensure horizontal protection, and intelligently craft a proposed security classification architecture that facilitates the secure execution of the program while balancing security protection with cost and schedule impacts.
