At one time, the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) was part of the Defense Security Service (DSS), an agency of the Department of Defense (DoD). DISCO processed and ruled on Personnel Security Clearances (PCLs) and Facility Security Clearances (FCLs) for defense contractor individuals and facilities. In late 2012, DISCO became part of the Industry Division of the DoD Consolidated Adjudication Facility. The FCL division of DISCO remained at DSS, and the portion of DISCO that processed contractor PCLs was transferred to the DSS Personnel Security Management Office for Industry (PSMO-I).
