NISPOM Seminar https://www.redbikepublishing.com/nispom-seminar/
Study NISPOM Fundamentals in Four hour session
We excited to offer two live NISPOM Seminar events:
• 23 March 4-8 Pm CST
• 30 March 4-8 Pm CST
Prepare for the Industrial Security Professional ISP Certification (ISP) and the DoD’s SPeD Industrial Security Oversight Certification (ISOC).
Those and several similar motivational publications stress that everyone has the same amount of time in a day. What we do during that time helps us either make or goals or fail before we even get started.
As leaders, FSOs can help cleared defense contractor employees understand how to create incredible security programs. Focusing on training, interaction with other cleared employees, self-improvement and institutional education should be part of professional development. FSOs and managers who write evaluations for direct reports have an excellent opportunity to help them establish goals to become better at their jobs, more impactful in their careers and hopefully, groomed to become FSO’s themselves. Challenging employees and team members to achieve personal and professional goals breeds success.
Security certifications such as ISP Certification and ISOC certification are goals cleared employees could take as a goal as well as encourage employees to achieve. The employee gains from such education and a prestigious career milestone. The organization also benefits from what the security employee learns and applies on the job. When employees study for the ISP Certification, they learn: how to read and apply the NISPOM, the importance of forming professional relationships with cleared employees, how the cleared contractor and the DSS representatives interact, and much more.

Security Certification and Cleared Defense Contractors
So let’s talk professional goals, the NCMS’ ISP Certification and CDSE's ISOC are great ones to strive for.
1. Begin at the NCMS, ISP Certification information website @ http://www.ncms-isp.org/ISP_Certification/index.asp. If your goal is ISOC certification, begin at the CDSE website.
2. Understand the application process. There are minimum experience requirements that applicants must meet as well as administrative tasks built into the process.
3. Understand the requirements and get a feel of where you are professionally and any gaps you need to breach to bring your knowledge of NISPOM and ISP or ISOC Certification categories to where it needs to be. It’s not necessary to be an expert in all areas or to be able to quote regulations and requirements.
4. The following are some things that you can do to prepare to fill those knowledge gaps:
a. Study the NISPOM and other reference document structure and understand where to find topic related information. Also, become familiar with key industry standard words found in the source documents.
b. Join a study group. There you can study their material, ask questions and get feedback.
c. Find a mentor.
5. Set a date.

Controlled Unclassified Information, classified information and such. Getting ready to perform on government contrats
While Facility Security Officers, government and military employees do an incredible job at training employees, implementing and directing security programs to protect classified information, a more menacing threat is still left unchecked.
The security industry spends terrific amounts of money fortifying and constructing buildings based on best practices and not entirely on a risk assessment. The NISPOM and other regulations advise on focusing protection and reducing costs. However, without a proper risk assessment, they may fall short of meeting legitimate threats. The current practice makes it very difficult for someone to break in and steal secrets. In light of addressing best practices, the main threat should not be overlooked or neglected. For example, when was the last time you read of buildings being broken into and safes blasted open or being cracked to obtain our nation's secrets? Facility security officers and industrial security professionals should develop measures to safeguard classified information at the highest level indicated. Employees should be trained to perform on these contracts based on NISPOM Guidance. This training includes:
Non Disclosure Agreement (SF 312)
