GSA uses SINs to identify categories for products and services. SIN 520-20 includes credit monitoring services, risk assessment and mitigation services, independent risk analysis and data breach analysis. However, under the expansion, the agency has broadened the category to allow industries greater flexibility acquiring the products they need.
“For example an ordering office may have a suspected breach but due to the uncertainty may only want to seek credit monitoring services that doesn’t require call center support, identity restoration, etc. They will now have the ability to obtain specifically what is needed for their immediate situation,” wrote Stephanie Kenitzer, GSA community manager, in an agency blog post.
