Who is the primary contact for security matters under the NISP at Company ABC?

The primary contact for security matters under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) is the Facility Security Officer (FSO). The FSO is responsible for implementing and managing the security program for the company, ensuring compliance with security regulations and safeguarding classified information.

The FSO serves as the key point of contact for government agencies and is tasked with overseeing day-to-day security operations. This includes conducting security training, managing personnel security clearances, and maintaining the security of physical spaces where classified information is handled.

While the Industrial Security Representative (IS Rep) plays an important role in providing support and guidance concerning industrial security matters, the FSO holds the primary responsibility for security within the facility. The IS Rep typically works alongside the FSO and may assist with specific tasks, but the FSO is ultimately accountable for the overall security posture of the facility under the NISP.

The Security Manager and Compliance Officer have distinct roles that may involve security oversight or compliance-related responsibilities but do not hold the primary position designated for managing security matters in accordance with NISP regulations.
