The fso roles

www.redbikepub...
The Facility Security Officer’s successful program depends on developing relationships with employees, managers and executives to facilitate execution of company policies, necessary security awareness training, willful employee self-admittance of security infractions or change of status, and proactive action toward expired, existing and future classified contracts.
Any of the above mentioned success measures is difficult to obtain in a changing employee and contract environment, but is simplified through employee and executive buy-in.
One of the most important traits an FSO should possess, aside from technical competence, is the ability to gain executive, manager and work force buy-in. This buy-in is critical for integrating the security plan into all business units and company operations. For example, one major cause of security violations is the introduction or removal of classified material into or from a company without proper accountability.
This is in contradiction to DoD regulations requiring that classified information in any form should be logged into the company accountability and stored properly according to the classification level. An FSO can train and write NIPSOM based policy and training, but without the enterprise’s full cooperation, will find it difficult to enforce.
A well integrated security plan will ensure that all units within an enterprise notify the FSO of any change in disposition of classified material storage. This integrated system will trigger the contracts, program manager, business development and other units to coordinate with the FSO and keep the FSO informed of expired, current, and future contract opportunities and responsibilities.
The coordination will allow the FSO to be proactive and better support the company's performance on classified contracts. Having a security program integrated into all aspects of the company produces award winning situations and dramatically reduces security violations.

Got an interview as an FSO and I have experience working part of the security department for this role so your video and education links were such an amazing help I couldn’t thank you enough.

[@jwbene]

Hi, congratulations on getting the interview. I'm sure your experience in the security department is going to be a big help. Best of success in your career and I appreciate the positive note. I'm glad these videos are helpful.

[@BassProBaitShop]

@@jwbene thank you for the support. Seeing how much experience you do have in this role what is something someone can do to gain actual experience in the role in order to obtain employment as an FSO?

[@jwbene]

@@BassProBaitShop Thanks, I'll be happy to share. I started my journey working for an FSO in a large company. There, I was able to learn from a team of experts. However, some people start from scratch, being appointed to FSO and have to learn everything at once. in this case, option three would be instead of learning alone, to hire an FSO consultant. So, those are some options at the profession. As far as education, I recommend taking the courses at cdse. There are lots of online courses that are free with CDSE including an FSO orientation course. you'll have to log in and create an account. www.cdse.edu/

@@jwbene already started that course and completed five classes so far so I’m hoping this will help. Even saved the FSO toolkit website

[@jwbene]

sounds like a great start and glad you are underway @@BassProBaitShop

Very informative video Jeffrey. Can you tell me where can I go for training to become an FSO so I can apply for jobs?

[@jwbene]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. You can visit the following website for training: www.cdse.edu/

[@jwbene]

If you can't get access there, I have compatible training at www.bennettinstitute.com

[@sonnyviza3617]

@@jwbene thank you, I tried the cdse but to create an account they ask for field office information, supervisor and etc. Since I'm not working as an FSO yet idk how to bypass that. And I was told that's the only training that is recognized by the industry.

[@jwbene]

@@sonnyviza3617 Yes, it's hard to get the training. you may be able to apply for FSO work based on experience you might have vs. training. The training is only really required to be conducted within a year of being hired.

[@jwbene]

However, if you are just looking for training to become familiar with the work or use the knowledge in a job interview, you may have to try elsewhere unless you can figure out how to get registered. You may want to call the 1800 number and seek help. They seem pretty responsive.

[@mrx222]

Is it possible to speak with you about a FSO officer?

[@jwbene]

Yes, please email me at [e-mail]. In the email please specify your question or topic and we can go from there.

[@mrx222]

Thanks for replying to my request, but I found out the answer I needed. Thanks so much for the great content!

[@jwbene]

@@mrx222 You're welcome. I"m glad you were able to find your answer. I appreciate the supportive comments.

Hi Jeff, can I send you my resume for a review?

[@jwbene]

Sure, please send it over.
