Understanding NISPOM Requirements

 
This five-day, very comprehensive course is intended for the security professional in Industry who needs or desires to better understand the compliance requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). The main objective of the course is to prepare the student for an inspection from the Cognizant Security Office (the Defense Security Service). Upon completion, the student will be able to accomplish an effective self-inspection feeling comfortable that he/she will be able to identify deficiencies in the security program and implement effective measures to eliminate any non-compliance issues.

This course is beneficial to all security positions to include Facility Security Officers, Personnel Security Specialists, ISSM or ISSOs, Physical Security Specialists, COMSEC Custodians, and security generalists. All industry security professionals – regardless of their specific current duties – need to understand all requirements of the NISPOM if they plan to make Security a career. This course has something for everyone and is especially beneficial to those who one day desire to be Security Managers.

The course is taught by a very experienced, nationally-known security expert (Mr. John Waller) who has been in the trenches as a personnel security specialist, COMSEC Custodian, ISSM, physical security specialist, FSO, and Director of Security. Mr. Waller will supplement his academic instruction with a myriad of “lessons learned” during his 40 plus years in the Information Security and Intelligence communities.
