My name is Jeffrey W. Bennett and I have led security programs to protect classified information, served as an FSO, conducted risk assessments, and provided training for many, many security professionals.

I’ve taught this course over many years at the University of Alabama, Huntsville and continue to teach it live at NISPOM Central.

I have also created a website with NISPOM products and services called NISPOM Central. and have writing security books and training for the busy professional.

I want to help:

I’ve created a suite of training just for you to understand the NISPOM.

The training can also be used to prepare for security roles and inspections. The training topics below include everything necessary for training the cleared employee workforce at the cleared defense contractor facility (CDC). Training topics also are part of the FSO certification program as well as resources for Industrial Professional (ISP) and Industrial Security Oversight Certification (ISOC).

All of our training is applicable for:

• Training Facility Security Officers and security personnel
• Security certification such as ISP and ISOC
