This was the original concept, and looks to still be valid.
Once reported or observed, the behaviors and incidents indicative of criminal activity will be
documented and evaluated in a two-step process by trained personnel to determine if they
meet terrorism-related SAR criteria and have a potential terrorism nexus. If a potential nexus
is established, the ISE-SAR may be made available through the ISE to appropriate agencies and
entities.
Technical resources will be provided to enable the “posting” of terrorism-related SARs to a
server (i.e., Shared Space) in a manner consistent with technical standards contained within
the ISE-SAR Functional Standard and included IEPD component. This will allow ISE-SARs to
be accessed by other fusion centers, authorized Federal, State, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies, DHS Headquarters, and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs)
and Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs) to support regional and national analysis.
o Access to the Shared Spaces will be via Law Enforcement Online (LEO), the Regional
Information Sharing Systems Network (RISSNET) and the Homeland Security Information
Network (HSIN).
o The FBI will use an unclassified version of its GUARDIAN system, known as eGuardian, as
the primary mechanism for JTTFs to receive terrorism-related investigative leads. The FBI
plans for eGuardian to also serve as an ISE-SAR Shared Space and is making its use
available to Federal, State, local and tribal law enforcement entities. EGuardian is
accessible via LEO.
