The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is looking for a tool to create a searchable database of social media posts and other publicly available information, actions, and interactions used in insider threat investigations.

DCSA manages the Department of Defense Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC), which focuses on detecting and responding to behaviors by government personnel indicative of a potential insider threat.

The organization’s data sweep includes social media and other public online sources, and DCSA said DITMAC analysts need “an automated capability to receive publicly available information [and] social media data on referred individuals to contextualize behavior that may be indicative of a potential insider threat,” according to a request for information (RFI) posted to SAM.gov.

Moreover, DITMAC said it is not looking for information that would otherwise be kept private. The RFI specifies that the agency only wants to collect “information that is available to the public, under privacy settings set to ‘public.’”

Responses to the RFI are due on August 24.
