Can Facility Security Officers (FSOs) or National Industry Security Program(NISP) affiliated security professionals at contractor facilities participate in the SPēD Program?
Yes. Starting in September 1, 2011 FSOs and NISP related security professionals may participate in Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC). Testing will only be at the DSS CDSE Linthicum test site and select conference events. Please note: SPēD Certification Program is not based on the NISP Operating Manual but is designed to measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities based on the definition of work performed by security practitioners on behalf of the DoD.
