The creation of DHS was the largest organizational merger of federal agencies since the formation of the Department of Defense (DoD). Enormously complex, DHS represents a broad array of missions, from confronting and preventing physical and digital threats, to administering our immigration laws, to preparing for and preventing disasters. In addition, many of its administrative functions—such as procurement, human capital, financial management, and security—are decentralized, with varying processes, requirements, and procedures.
HS SEDI is helping DHS to become a high-performing organization that can operate in this complex environment. As such, we are working with the Department to evolve a strong set of enterprise governance and management capabilities, with a particular focus on investment planning and execution that balances each component's unique needs with the Department's overall commitment to develop solutions that are scalable, sustainable, efficient, and interoperable. We are also helping to consolidate and modernize DHS's enterprise computing infrastructure.
Rendering expertise in acquisition, systems engineering, and maturing organizational capabilities, SEDI is helping the Department to:
- Improve cross-departmental management, policy, and functional integration
- Improve systems integration for IT systems
- Increase analytic capability and capacity
- Strengthen acquisition oversight
Our sponsors include:
- National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD)
- Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO)
- Program Analysis and Risk Management (PARM)
- Science and Technology Directorate (S&T)
- Undersecretary of Management (USM)
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
How MITRE Is Helping

A federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) assists the United States government with scientific research and analysis, development and acquisition, and/or systems engineering and integration. Governed according to federal acquisition, regulations, FFRDCs operate as long-term strategic partners with their sponsoring government agencies. They are created by the government to address problems of considerable complexity, analyze technical questions with a high degree of objectivity, and provide creative and cost-effective solutions to government problems.
