The Cognizant Security Office (CSO) for the Department of Defense (DOD) is typically the Defense Security Service (DSS), which is now part of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). The DCSA is responsible for overseeing security clearance processes, industrial security, and ensuring compliance with national security policies across the DOD and its contractors. The CSO plays a critical role in safeguarding classified information and maintaining the integrity of the security framework within the DOD.
The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD(I&S)) has primary responsibility for providing guidance, oversight, and approval authority for Department of Defense (DoD) information security policies and procedures. This office ensures that information security aligns with national security objectives and complies with applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, it coordinates with other DoD components to implement effective and consistent information security practices across the department.

These entities are responsible for investigating allegations of HIPAA violations involving DoD healthcare providers and services.
