FSO Workbook is Standard for Excellent Reviews

What the FSO Workbook is

The FSO Workbook is an organized set of folders with products that FSO use daily. Keep reading or scroll for a comprehensive list of items. 

The FSO Workbook achieves these objectives:

• Organized way to execute daily FSO tasks with sorted folders 
• Foundation for demonstrating NISPOM compliance with documented artifacts including facility organization, memos, forms, policies and training
• Methodology and source material for self-inspection success
• Ability to review artifacts and demonstrate or “show your work” during DCSA Security Reviews
• Be more effective by using form templates, policy structure and tools; limiting reliance on email

We have provided what FSOs need at any phase of existence from sponsorship forward.

For example, forms are included in their appropriate folders to apply for facility clearances. Having this FSO Work book provides your blueprint you need to answer sponsorship requirements before they are due to DCSA.

If you already have your FCL, this product helps you stay organized. For example, artifacts such as forms and requests can be used to populate NISS, DISS and NBIS databases.  Or download from these databases data to store as compliance artifacts.

FSOs spend a good deal of their time on DCSA databases, the FSO Workbook liaisons between the facility and the databases.

Many cleared companies may be at a disadvantage, lacking training presentations, policies and other documents. The FSO Workbook can help fill that gap. Basically everything an FSO needs to perform daily tasks and file in an organized manor. Download our files, tailor to your situation and apply to your security program.

For legacy FSOs with already established FCLs, this folder structure provides an organized way to maintain your records and my boost your efficiency. FSOs should live daily in the FSO Workbook.

How to Use the FSO Workbook

Many FSOs manage their programs with their version of an FSO Workbook. Consequently, they have sailed through DCSA security reviews.
