This is a great idea. thanks for starting this. I'm happy to contribute. I am an experienced FSO and have received nothing less than a Commendable rating during my career. Working with smaller non-possessing facilities it is very difficult to receive a Superior rating but it is possible.
To receive a rating of Commendable here are some tips:
Make sure your Personnel Security files are in impeccable order. They should include, at a minimum, a recent screen print of the JPAS summary page, Proof of Citizenship, executed copy of the SF312 if necessary.
At a minimum, perform 4 security briefings per year. The NISPOM says the only requirement is the Annual Security Reftesher briefing.
Make sure you document the briefings given. Have a sign-in sheet, and excel sporeadsheet as well as an acknowledgment form signed and dated if you sent the briefing via email
Make sure you have completed at least 2 Self Inspections during the year. Quarterly is better for the smaller to medium size companies.
Make sure you run the Periodic Reinvestigation report in JPAS to ensure everyone who is due for a reinvestigation has already been initiated in JPAs and notified
Make sure you run the Personnel Listing report in JPAS and ensure everyone listed should be listed and has the proper Accesses listed based on your FCL. Don't have people listed with TS access if your faciility only has a Secret FCL
Be organized when you meet with your DSS Rep for your security review. Have everything out that you need so you have it in front of you when asked for something, e.g. 381-R, DD 441, SF 328, Contract List completed, etc.
To be rated as Superior in a non-possessng facility make sure you have all of the above but also try to have a Security Day or host a seminar on a security topic, be a member of NCMS or ASIS, send out security updates to employees or have an Employee Security Newsletter at least quarterly.
I'm sure there are more. Hopefully others will contribute to this question as well.
No need to give me any credit for this. You posting it for me is credit enough. No worries.....
Thanks again. Hope this works. It will be a good resource for all.
