techniques, and procedures, including 

design and emplacement 

considerations. TRIPwire was 

established as an IED informationsharing resource under Homeland 

Security Presidential Directive 19 

(HSPD–19), which calls for a unified 

national policy for the prevention and 

detection of, protection against, and 

response to terrorist use of explosives in 

the United States. Users from Federal, 

state, local, and tribal government 

entities; as well as business and forprofit industries can register through the 

TRIPwire Secure Portal. The TRIPwire 

portal contains sensitive information 

related to terrorist use of explosives and 

therefore user information is needed to 

verify eligibility and access to the 

system. TRIPwire applicants must 

provide their full name, assignment, 

citizenship, job title, employer name, 

professional address and contact 

information, as well as an Employment 

Verification Contact and their contact 

information. The system does not store 

sensitive PII such as social security 

numbers. The collection of PII by 

TRIPwire to establish user accounts 

occurs in accordance with the DHS 

Privacy Impact Assessment PIA–015, 

‘‘DHS Web Portals,’’ DHS/ALL–004— 

General Information Technology Access 

Account Records System (GITAARS)

voluntary. However, those who choose 

to participate are required to complete 

the registration process to obtain access. 

This requirement is designed to measure 

users’ suitability to access the secure 

environment. 

The information collected during the 

TRIPwire user registration process is 

reviewed electronically by the TRIPwire 

team to vet the user’s ‘‘need to know,’’ 

which determines their eligibility for 

and access to TRIPwire. Memberships 

are re-verified annually based on the 

information users provide upon 

registration or communication with the 

TRIPwire help desk analysts. The 

information collected is for internal 

TRIPwire and OBP use only.
