Summary The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) maintains records on Department of Defense personnel in dozens of databases containing over 40 million records. Threats to DMDC data are external and internal, some intentional, and some inadvertent. This research, under the auspices of Team Monterey Phase II, at NPS will focus on three primary areas: the identification of threats to selected subgroups of individuals for whom records are maintained in the DMDC databases, analysis of the costs of data and transitively population exposure, and threat mitigation through a combination of technical and procedural countermeasures.
