About This Workshop
Since the earliest times, military planners and commanders have
recognized the importance of keeping their battle plans a secret
from the enemy. Through the years, various attempts have
been made to control and contain tactical and strategic information
within the US Government. None have been as comprehensive as the current
National Industrial Security Program (NISP) which governs access
by US contractors to sensitive or classified data. As
a result of the explosive growth of modern technology and constant
threats from insiders and other countries, the United
States developed the NISP which sets forth the
requirements for obtaining US Government security clearances required
for access to this information.
Homeland Defense Journal’s Security Clearance
Workshop
provides a clear understanding of the operational organization
of DOD and the
Information Community
necessary to
provide you with an understand of interdepartmental
relationships concerning security clearances, reciprocity, who
has jurisdiction and why. You’ll
learn about classified materials,
and understand the
levels of security clearances and what is required to obtain
them.
This
training will help you understand why personnel security clearances
are an important part of program and mission planning,
how they may impact your business planning decisions, and will
help you recognize the marketing opportunities of participating
in the world of US Government classified contracting.
Personnel with active security clearances are crucial to a contractor's
ability to compete for DoD and other sensitive contracts.
That's why recent backlogs, delays, and funding shortfalls preventing
the Defense Security Service from processing contractor security
clearances prompted panic among contractors: a lack of cleared
personnel directly impacts their ability to compete for many
contracts, and the value of already cleared personnel skyrockets,
impacting the bottom line. The availability of cleared personnel
is so important, that Congress is amending the FY07 DoD authorization
act to alleviate the impact. Position yourself in this lucrative
market with a step-by-step review of the security clearance
rationale and process at The DoD Security Clearance Workshop.
On Day
One you’ll
review the requirements for control and access
to US Government classified materials, how the personnel
security clearance process works and what is required to
obtain the various levels of clearance.
You’ll cover the investigative
steps needed to satisfy the various levels of clearance, polygraph
and its role as an investigative tool. The adjudicative
process is covered
by laying out the criteria which you
must meet to satisfy each clearance level and
when necessary, how the security clearance appeal process is
implemented. You’ll
participate in a table top exercise placing you
in the role of evaluating, adjudicating and making decisions
on who gets a security clearance.
On Day Two, you will learn the
roles and responsibilities of the Key Management Personnel
and the function and selection criteria for the
Facility Security Officer
(FSO),
including their importance in the overall scheme
of things and how to get the FSO help.
You’ll review the DD
Form 441, the
Department of Defense Security Agreement, and
discuss the
ramifications of Foreign Ownership, Control and Influence (FOCI)
as well as some of the ways available to mitigate unfavorable
situations.
You’ll conclude the training by performing a table
top exercise concerning facility clearances.
A course completion certificate will be provided at the end
of the workshop.
