Data Systems Analysts, Inc. (DSA) was awarded a task order by the U.S. Navy to support optimization of organizational performance to maximize efficiencies in funding, scheduling, contract management, and program management and execution of cyber security architecture, the company said Tuesday.

The task order was awarded by the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare Protection and Oversight Directorate (DCNO N2N6IP) under the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) Omnibus Program, Engineering, and Technical Support (OPETS) IDIQ contract.

DSA will perform the contract work in the National Capital Region.

The contract calls for DSA to provide information assurance expertise to DCNO N2N6IP in support of the study, analysis, and research of issues that will advance the detection, deterrence and mitigation of threats to the Navy’s cyber security architecture. This applies to Navy systems both ashore and afloat.

“We are honored and excited to expand our support to the Navy and to assist DCNO N2N6IP in accomplishing its crucial mission requirements,” Fran Pierce, CEO of DSA, said in a statement.
