Which role is typically responsible for supervising security measures to implement the NISPOM at a contractor facility?

• A. Facility Security Officer (FSO)
• B. FCL Sponsorship
• C. Export Authorization
• D. Extent of Protection

Answer: (A)

The role that oversees implementing NISPOM at a contractor facility is the Facility Security Officer. The FSO is designated to establish, maintain, and supervise all security measures required by NISPOM, ensuring classified information is safeguarded, access is controlled, personnel security clearances are properly handled, and security training and procedures are in place. The FSO also coordinates with the government security office, conducts internal security reviews, and manages incident reporting and security awareness—keeping the program compliant and responsive to evolving requirements.

Other options refer to functions or authorities rather than the day-to-day leadership of the security program. FCL Sponsorship relates to obtaining or maintaining a facility clearance, Export Authorization deals with export controls, and Extent of Protection is not a role.
