Security debriefing from access to classified information

As a Facility Security Officer (FSO) or security manager for a Department of Defense (DoD) contractor, you’re required to debrief employees when they no longer need access to classified information. According to 32 CFR Part 117.12(l) of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM):

“Contractors will debrief cleared employees and annotate the debriefing in the appropriate contractor records when access to classified information is no longer needed; at the time of termination of employment (discharge, resignation, or retirement); when an employee’s eligibility for access to classified information is terminated, suspended, or revoked; and upon termination of the entity eligibility determination.”

Our Classified Information Debriefing Form is designed to help cleared contractors document debriefings in full compliance with this requirement. This editable Microsoft Word template is suitable for any size contractor operating under NISPOM and is available for immediate download for $49.

Our Classified Information Debriefing form meets this requirement by reviewing the employee’s responsibility to safeguard classified information and providing written evidence of the employee’s and employer’s compliance with this clause of the NISPOM.
