description: >-
  No published plans. DISS is a United States Department of Defense enterprise
  system of record operated by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security
  Agency; access is granted through a government account-provisioning process
  to authorized DoD, federal and cleared-contractor security personnel, not
  purchased. There is no developer program, no public API, and therefore no
  plan, tier, quota or price to record.

notes:
  - >-
    REPLACES A FABRICATED SCAFFOLD. The prior version of this file declared a
    "Free" tier with a 1,000 requests/month quota and a 10 req/min rate limit
    against the invented host
    https://defense-information-system-for-security.example/api. None of that
    was ever published by DCSA; it was scaffold filler and has been removed.
  - >-
    Access is obtained via the DISS account request / provisioning process
    described on DCSA's site, which is an authorization workflow rather than a
    commercial plan.
  - >-
    Direct verification against dcsa.mil was not possible on 2026-09-07: the
    Akamai edge returns HTTP 403 to every automated request. The zero here rests
    on the absence of any DISS developer program in public search results, not
    on a fetched pricing page.
