U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Headquarters (HQ)
Objective
DHS’s EA Program executes complex IT lifecycle activities. Their goal is to enhance the delivery of high-quality EA services that align IT investments with mission outcomes, improve strategic planning, and ensure compliance with federal mandates and DHS priorities.
Solution
Using DHS’s six-layer EA Framework and maturity model, SIG translates laws, policies, and mandates into actionable technical requirements. Support includes EA practice development, technical governance, and acquisition lifecycle guidance. SIG fosters collaboration across DHS components to build consistent, transparent, and mission-aligned architecture practices.
Impact
SIG’s support strengthens DHS’s ability to deliver value-based IT outcomes, improves transparency across components, and ensures strategic alignment with agency priorities. By maturing EA practices and integrating governance into acquisition processes, SIG helps DHS optimize resources, reduce duplication, and enhance mission effectiveness through better-informed technology decisions.
