As per the CISF website, the force found its inception in 1969 with a modest beginning. It comprised of three battalions that provided integrated security cover to the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). In the initial years, the PSUs occupied "commanding heights" of the economy. The CISF is currently occupied with providing security detail to installations like space establishments, nuclear installations, airports, seaports, power plants, sensitive Government buildings and ever heritage monuments.
