Job Description

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Facility Security Officer (FSO) to manage our National Industrial Security Program (NISP) and oversee all aspects of our facility’s security profile.

• Inspections & Audits: Prepare the company for DCSA security reviews and self-inspections. Maintain "Commendable" or "Superior" ratings through meticulous record-keeping.
