(b) In reviewing a DHS-CS employee's mission impact, individually or as part of a group of DHS-CS employees, or both, the Department considers factors such as:
1. (1) Superior application of CTMS qualifications to perform DHS-CS cybersecurity work;
2. (2) Significant enhancements to CTMS qualifications;
3. (3) Special contributions to cybersecurity technologies, techniques, tactics, or procedures; and
4. (4) Notable improvements to execution of the DHS cybersecurity mission.
(c) The Department uses mission impact summary information to make distinctions among DHS-CS employees, such as comparing, categorizing, and ranking DHS-CS employees on the basis of mission impact to support decisions related to recognition for DHS-CS employees under §§ 158.630 through 158.634.
