    The Defense Department awarded a $21.4 million contract today to the
    Knowledge Consulting Group to write a security plan for DOD's
    Counterintelligence Field Activity and the FBI's Foreign Terrorist
    Tracking Force.
    
    Knowledge Consulting Group, located in Sterling, Va., will update the
    organizations' security guidelines, identify potential security lapses
    and provide security support, said Maryann Hirsch, company president,
    during a Feb. 18 telephone interview.
    
    DOD "always had security policies in place. But after [Sept. 11,
    2001,] it wants improved preparedness," Hirsch said.
    
    The company during the past three years provided systems
    infrastructure support services to the Counterintelligence Field
    Activity. The contract includes developing safeguards against spies
    and moles.
