The Program Manager should request a Counterintelligence analysis when an acquisition program containing Critical Program Information is initiated.?

Requesting a Counterintelligence analysis at the initiation of an acquisition program involving Critical Program Information is essential to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities. This analysis helps ensure that sensitive information is protected against espionage and unauthorized access, which can jeopardize the program's success. By integrating Counterintelligence considerations early, the Program Manager can implement appropriate security measures and mitigate risks effectively throughout the program's lifecycle.
