Rationale for TSCP
To do business in the world today, A&D companies must balance the need to protect intellectual property (IP) while demonstrating willingness and ability to meet contractual requirements from government customers for auditable, identity-based, secure flows of information.
This duality requires that security be both within organizations and across extended supply chains and partners

TSCP description
TSCP was created by industry with US and UK government support to provide a framework for secure collaboration and the international sharing of sensitive information in major defence acquisition programs.
The main purpose is to mitigate risks associated with national security, export controls, intellectual property and privacy data.
Initially focused on, and delivered, guidance material that is supported by US and UK governments.
Members decided to build on this and implement solutions to enable secure collaboration to work.

TSCP description
TSCP is the only government-industry partnership specifically focused on facilitating solutions to the most critical issues in A&D today:
Mitigating the risks related to compliance, complexity, cost and IT that are inherent in large-scale, collaborative programs that span national jurisdictions.
Secure information sharing for those who work to secure the world

TSCP Membership and participation
Large critical mass in the TSCP of prime contractors, Advantages adopting the TSCP standards early, as there
will be competitive advantage to being first supplier ready to work with these new standards.
Taking a position on the TSCP is probably more cost effective than any other possible approach, as the TSCP is collectively discussing secure collaboration with
the correct government players, and The TSCP is helping to influence many of the choices that
various governments are making in their directions for collaboration with industry.
Consistent voice to customers, suppliers and governments

TSCP Membership and participation
Individually, most of the companies at the TSCP table already have a fairly large place in the revenue projections of companies like Microsoft and IBM.
If these vendors hear exactly the same tune coming from all of the TSCP participants, that becomes an almost deafening voice to have changes put through quickly.
We are actively working with several vendors to improve the capability of their products to support secure collaboration
Louder voice to vendors
CAF - EU Outreach | 09.5.2007 | 15 | GIFAS May Paris
TSCP Membership and participation
A company joining TSCP has a voice at the table, and is able to participate in the collective accumulation of knowledge of how to collaborate securely
A TSCP member also has the ability to influence how a given technology is implemented, and to push for a solution that will be more easily adopted by their organization.
Huge cost savings through adoption of a common collaboration framework, as this: simplifies audit for compliance and government regulation, reduces costs due to common infrastructure, and reduces time to market, as a custom infrastructure does not need to
be established for each new product, program or project
Influence now, rather than be a victim later
CAF - EU Outreach | 09.5.2007 | 16 | GIFAS May Paris
