Recommended times for self-inspections
- changes to your facility such as the appointment of a new FSO
- the award of a new classified contract that contains new or additional security requirements
- when there are changes in your company involving ownership
- growth and expansion
- relocation
- when problems are found with the current security program
The Self-Inspection Handbook is intended to act as a guide to assist you in your self-inspection. You should be careful not to use the handbook as a simple checklist, but as a living document. The best way to use the handbook is to review the security elements and related questions and identify those that apply to your facility’s classified operations. Once you know which questions apply, ask yourself what logical follow-up questions you will want to ask. Don't just check off yes, no, or not applicable to the questions asked in the handbook. For every question answered, you should verify or validate that answer and record descriptive details in the validation section. Remember conducting a self-inspection requires critical analysis of your security program; it’s not just a simple paper check. You should actually review established security procedures and any classified material, if available. Also, check appropriate security records and interview employees to verify that the information is accurate and current. Rather than just assume that a security policy or procedure is being correctly implemented, you should not only interview your employees you should have them demonstrate how they implement that procedure.
For each question that applies to your facility’s classified activities, you should review the associated
NISPOM reference and compare it with your established security procedures.
