FSOs should understand more than just the technical aspects of administering a security program.
Understanding how to mark, safeguard and disseminate classified information is important. However,
the FSO should reach beyond the description of implementing a security program to safeguard classified material. The position also requires:1. Assessing risks to the classified material
2. Interpreting safeguarding requirements
3. Communicating and incorporating a culture of compliance within the organization
4. Projecting the impact of classified contracts on the enterprise.
To do this, the FSO should possess the vision and skills to see where the security program needs to go, how to get there and encourage a security vision from the senior executive level downward. Without the proper influence, the FSO is may not be able to run a program to protect classified material
Effective tools include:
• Helping form corporate culture
• Installing and monitoring metrics
• Converging security and corporate functions
• Planning for Growth
