We turn Facility Security Officers (FSOs) into NISPOM experts so they can protect their organizations from security risks.
Risks of Failing to Comply with NISPOM
-
FSOs risk making procedural errors that could jeopardize the facility clearance.
-
Security measures may be non-compliant, opening the organization to government findings or penalties.

Employees may receive incorrect training, increasing the likelihood of classified information mishandling.

Insider threats, reporting requirements (like SEAD 3), and incident responses may be misunderstood, creating national security risks.

What Our Clients and Customers Are Saying About NISPOM Central…
Jeffrey Bennett's comprehensive guide gives defense contractors all the information they need to establish and maintain a successful security program. He pulls together information from Presidential Executive Orders and regulations from numerous government agencies. Readers will learn how to appoint and train a facility security officer, navigate the security clearance process, win contracts dealing with classified information, and how to secure and protect that information.
This book was extremely helpful and provides detailed information on how to get government contracts and classified work. It is a must for anyone wanting to get into government contracting. Jeff Bennett is knowledgeable on the topic and an expert. I highly recommend his book.
Our Lead Trainer: Jeffrey Bennett
When Jeff began working as a Facility Security Officer, there were few resources learning how to become an FSO. Someone recommended that he download the NISPOM and read it. Though that was a great start, it did little to prepare him for the work ahead.
Fortunately, he was able to work under a mentor who helped him to navigate the career until he could stand on his own. Once he became proficient in the career, he began to mentor others. That led to a career as an FSO and NISPOM compliance consultant.
Jeff also began writing books, training and tools for FSOs and key management persons. His professional development program is now live on NISPOM Central.
Here's the rest of the story:
While he spent time reading the NISPOM, he received on the job direction from experts. he also bought a lot of books about security. Though he couldn't find any books about NISPOM, but there were articles and other books (outside of industrial security) on security, risk management, cybersecurity that would teach how to protect important assets. These books taught skills similar to what could be applied in the FSO field.
Since there were no NISPOM books and he had to go outside of the community to get books and resources, he decided to write and publish books specifically about the NISPOM and for FSOs. To this day, those outside of the defense contractor industry have no access to FSO job tracking. Jeff sees his mission as filling the gap in education and opportunity.
These resources have stood the test of time through various updates and NISPOM changes.
These are invaluable resources to have at my fingertips and I’m grateful I now have a source for quality, printed material. It’s well worth it.
