Who is the local representative from the DCSA that provides advice and assistance to establish the security program and to ensure a facility is in compliance with the NISP?

• A. Industrial Security Representative (IS Rep)
• B. Field Office Chief (FOC)
• C. Counterintelligence Special Agent (CISA)
• D. Defense Central Index of Investigations (DCII)

Answer: (A)

The local DCSA representative who provides advice and assistance to establish the security program and to ensure a facility is in compliance with the NISP is the Industrial Security Representative. This role is the on-site security adviser for the contractor, helping to develop and implement the facility’s security program, interpret applicable requirements, and coordinate with DCSA to maintain NISP compliance. The Field Office Chief oversees operations at a higher level, not the day-to-day guidance at a single site. A Counterintelligence Special Agent focuses on intelligence-related investigations, not general industrial security program support. The Defense Central Index of Investigations is a database used for tracking investigations, not a local security adviser.
