The Key to Compliance is Helping Your Business Understand The Why of Security Policy
Make Compliance with NISPOM Requirements Smoother and Easier
Maintaining your facility clearance along with a good inspection result is mission critical to your business. There is no business without it.
The cooperation and support of your colleagues and leaders outside the security function is absolutely necessary for you to successfully protect classified information and contracts, CUI, and to meet standards and achieve compliance.
Your challenge is translating the CFR for the business in a way that helps them better see the why so you can secure their cooperation with the how.

NISPOM Focus
Security Connection newsletter content is heavily focused on issues relevant to the NISP while at the same time promoting fundamental security practices and a healthy security mindset.
Illuminate Threats
A key requirement for your awareness program is to help people understand and appreciate the nature of threats and methods of approach employed by nation states and other bad actors. Shine a light on it for the business.
Illuminate Consequences
That it could happen where I work, or that it could happen to me, can seem like an abstraction to business folks. Cases of espionage, insider threats, and carelessness leading to criminal charges can illuminate the reality.
A Breeze to Read
With professionally written articles utilizing a friendly, helpful tone and articles of different lengths across 8 pages, this isn’t the typical security team messaging. Your Security Connection won’t feel like a chore to read.
Security-Savvy at Home &Work
Answer the question “What’s in it for me?” with personal and work relevant content. As they understand personal risk, their security mindset will change. People who are security-savvy at home are security-savvy at work.
