Topic 2 Developing Education Goals (continued)
I'm glad you are still reading and hope that you are excited about the professional development discussion. Let's continue with the topic of education goals.
I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow in our profession, aren't you?
I hope so, and if so, keep reading.
Early in my career, I was hungry for experience, but couldn't get the level of training I wanted. Many times, I would have to develop that myself. In the near future, I'll tell you how and why I developed a NISPOM study guide.
Anyway, in my quest, I would volunteer for any job available at my company. I was everywhere the boss would let me go. My boss was the FSO and was able to manage my experience.
Aren't you grateful for great mentors?
While mentoring me, my FSO allowed me access to so many opportunities. These included conducting self-inspections, developing a document custodian program, learning personnel security, and on and on. I was fortunate enough to work in a company where almost 100% of NISPOM applied. That gave me the opportunity to learn and grow.
Later, I would go to other companies where there were fewer opportunities to exercise NISPOM skills. Some companies were non-possessing and I had limited skill-building experience.
Have you ever been in a job that did not require all of your skill set? Isn't it tough keeping the skills sharp?
That's when I was determined to continue to learn and grow. I also wanted to teach, so I began developing training. I'm going to tell you about training in the next few emails.
One NISPOM topic that all defense contractors have is the requirement for an Insider Threat Program. Not just a policy, but an actual program.
Would you like to learn how to establish an effective and manageable Insider Threat Program?
If you have taken training, it focuses mostly on employee behavior. It's important, but not complete.
I have another way, it focuses on what needs protection and developing triggers to indicate threats.
Would you like to learn to develop and employ a program where you would have a better chance of preventing insider threat activity?
I've developed it for you and want you to have it. I've employed it at many client faculties and now have provided in many products such as:
- Establishing an Insider Threat Program Under NISPOM
- Essential ITPSO Policies and Procedures
- Insider Threat Training
- Now I'm working on so much more.

Customer Reviews
"Just finished reading this book. As a former Facility Security Officer (FSO), the book outlines many of the processes I remember using to help maintain Need to Know (NTK) separation of classified material long before the term “Insider Threat Program” was used. Besides establishing your program, Jeff addresses setting up your Insider Threat Working Group, Reporting, and Training. He also includes detailed list of what you need to include in the various areas of your program. There are even great templates at the end of the book as examples to use when setting up your program. I would definitely recommend reading and using this book as a reference if you are starting up a new Insider Threat Program."
