Building Strong FSO and SMO Relationships for Optimal Security Compliance
In this episode, Jeff Bennett from Thrive Analysis Group and Red Bike Publishing discusses the critical relationship between the Senior Management Official (SMO) and the Facility Security Officer (FSO) within an organization. It explores how a strained or non-existent relationship can negatively impact NISPOM compliance and the overall security posture of a facility. The episode covers the roles and responsibilities of both positions, the importance of SMO engagement, and provides recommendations on improving communication and collaboration between FSOs and SMOs. Future episodes will feature expert guests offering additional insights and strategies to strengthen these crucial relationships.
