Who conducts the CNO integrated Vulnerability Assessment?

The CNO Integrated Vulnerability Assessment is conducted by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Security Training Assistance and Assessment (STAAT). This unit is specifically tasked with evaluating and enhancing the security posture of Navy installations and operations by identifying vulnerabilities and recommending improvements. STAAT's focus on comprehensive assessments makes it uniquely qualified to carry out integrated vulnerability assessments, ensuring that potential security gaps are addressed effectively.

The other options, while they may be related to security functions within the Navy, do not perform the integrated vulnerability assessments specifically assigned to NCIS STAAT. NAVSECGRU primarily focuses on signals intelligence and information assurance rather than vulnerability assessments. Military Police are involved in law enforcement and may have security roles, but they do not conduct these specific assessments at the level of STAAT. The Force Protection Team may contribute to security measures but doesn't have the mandate for conducting the CNO Integrated Vulnerability Assessment. Therefore, the role of NCIS STAAT is critical to understanding and addressing vulnerabilities within the Navy's security environment.
