The Defense Security Service (DSS) is an agency of the Department of Defense (DoD) located in Quantico, Virginia with field offices throughout the United States. The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence provides authority, direction and control over DSS. DSS provides the military services, Defense Agencies, 30 federal agencies and approximately 13,500 cleared contractor facilities with security support services.
Decision Support Systems. A Decision Support System, or DSS, is a specialized information system specifically designed to facilitate the decision making process in the operations of organizations. Compared to other types of information systems, a DSS is typically used when a problem is unstructured or when circumstances are difficult to predict. A DSS may include other types of systems. For example, a database management system (DBMS) is often part of a DSS in order to have access to the necessary data. However, a DSS is more than a DBMS since it provides a structure to facilitate the process of making decisions.
