DHS/OPS/PIA-009 National Operations Center Identity Targeting and Analysis Section (ITAS) Database

The National Operations Center (NOC), within the Office of Operations Coordination and Planning (OPS), operates the NOC Identity Targeting and Analysis Section (ITAS) Database, formerly known as the NOC Counterterrorism Operations Desk (NCOD). OPS serves as the primary Department of Homeland Security (DHS) point of contact to streamline counterterrorism Requests for Information (RFIs). The ITAS Database is a tracking tool used to track all counterterrorism and fraudulent document-related incoming and outgoing inquiries. OPS, in partnership with the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Information Sharing Environment Office (ISEO), and its Homeland Security Information Network Program Office (HSIN), are updating the existing Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for NCOD to reflect the name change to ITAS and the shift of the database to the HSIN platform.
