New Training

Are You Aware Of The New Training Requirement?

On December 29, 2009, President Obama issued Executive Order 13526 which replaced our old Executive Order 12958 originally signed in 1995. The changes represented in this new E.O. will have a discernible impact on our security programs.

Specifically, Section 2.1 of the new Executive Order 13526 states, "Persons who apply derivative classification markings shall receive training in the proper application of the derivative classification principles of the order, with an emphasis on avoiding over-classification, at least once every 2 years. Derivative classifiers who do not receive such training at least once every 2 years shall have their authority to apply derivative classification markings suspended until they have received such training."

We have three courses that will meet this new requirement: "Information Security", "Security Specialist" and "Understanding NISPOM Requirements". The two-day Information Security course is exclusively an Executive Order 13526 course in that it is all about classification management, classification, marking of classified documents, declassification, and safeguarding. Enroll today and take care of this requirement with quality training and a Certificate of Completion for your security record from Kenneth Sudol & Associates.

Industrial Security Professional (ISP) - Certification Exam

We will be proctoring the ISP exam for eligible* candidates who attend our "Understanding NISPOM Requirements" class. The two-hour ISP exam will be taken on-line only and will be administered on Friday afternoon immediately following completion of the class. You will be responsible for registering with NCMS ISP to take the exam.

Be advised that the ISP exam is not easy and was not designed to be easy. Simply taking our course will not guarantee that you will pass the exam - although 100% of our students who have taken the exam have passed. We suggest that you should prepare yourself by studying all of the materials on the reference list, complete the ISP study notebook, participate in the telephone study sessions coordinated by the ISP preparation committee AND attend our class as the capstone to your efforts.

Please note that the ISP Exam covers one hundred questions; these form the "core" of the exam. All candidates complete those questions. An additional 10 questions are on electives chosen by the candidate. There are four elective areas — COMSEC/TEMPEST, Counterintelligence, Intellectual Property, and Operations Security (OPSEC). The Candidates each choose two electives and must answer five questions from each of those areas. Please be aware that the Understanding NISPOM Requirements course does not specifically provide the information you will need to answer the questions in the electives section of the exam. To get the information you will need on these electives please visit the ISP Exam FAQs on the NCMS ISP website. To register for the exam, obtain information about what the exam covers, or get answers to any other questions we strongly recommend that you visit the Industrial Security Professional Certification page on the NCMS website.
