MCLEAN,
Va., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium
Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM), a leading provider of
global voice and data satellite communications, today announced
that for a second time, its Tempe,
Arizona facility has received the James S. Cogswell
Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award. A distinction
presented by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security
Association (DCSA) during the annual Society of Industrial Security
Professionals (NCMS) training seminar, the award honors companies
that embody a commitment to upholding and exceeding standards
within the Industrial Security community over the previous year. Of
the more than 13,000 cleared U.S. defense contractors eligible,
less than 1% are selected each year to receive this award.
"As a DoD contractor for over two decades now, Iridium is proud
to receive such a respected award that represents not just meeting,
but exceeding important security standards set forth by DCSA,"
said Bill Conner, Vice President, Legal and Compliance,
Iridium. "Receiving such an honor for a second time is a strong
testament to the incredible work of the Iridium security team over
the past several years, and how we implement integral security
protocols and procedures with care and purpose."
To win the award an organization must perform well beyond the
minimum National Industrial Security Program (NISP) requirements
and exemplify high benchmarks for security program management,
vulnerability assessment, security education, and classified
material control. Facilities are nominated by a DCSA industrial
security representative and are required to have at least two
consecutive superior industrial security review ratings during an
eight-month internal review and election process.
