SIMS Integration – Johns Hopkins APL Foreign Travel Tool

SIMS Software now offers an integration of the exclusively licensed Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Foreign Travel Tool into our flagship product, SIMS (Security Information Management System). This integration will provide security stakeholders the ability to further streamline and automate their labor-intensive foreign travel reporting requirements as further defined by SEAD 3 effective August 24, 2022.

The foreign travel reporting component of the Security Executive Agent Directive 3 (SEAD 3) requires all federal contractors to comply with the new foreign travel reporting requirements for all cleared employees and anyone covered under NISPOM.

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Foreign Travel Tool integration will enable SIMS customers to streamline these reporting requirements while providing a more expansive and interactive web-based user interface for their travelers. The tool will integrate into SIMS Personnel module and the SIMS newly expanded fields for SEAD 3 foreign travel records, allowing customers to leverage SIMS as a centralized system of record to track and report on foreign travel.
