NISPOM Security Briefings

Clause 3-106 of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)

requires that "Prior to being granted access to classified information, an employee shall receive

an initial security briefing." Clause 3-107 (Refresher Training) of the NISPOM requires

that all cleared employees be provided with "some form of security education and training at

least annually." The sample security briefing below meets the NISPOM's requirements for

initial and refresher briefings to include a threat awareness briefing, defensive security

briefing, an overview of the security classification system, and employee reporting obligations

and requirements. It has been updated to reflect the new requirements imposed by Executive

Order 13526 and recent counterintelligence news. Users would need to add to the briefing

security procedures and duties applicable to the employee's job.
