Insider’s Guide to Security Clearances

“Having been tasked with the mission to research all that I could about Security Clearances and the Facility Security Officer (FSO) position at a government contracting firm, it was difficult to find resources on the topic that were available for the up-and-coming FSO. In this book, Mr Bennett gives clear and concise answers to help guide the way for those that haven’t been in the industry for long or at all. And with the Kindle edition, it was easy to have the book with me for reference whenever I needed help with knowing which forms to use, what acronyms stand for, and what is the next step in the Security Clearance process. I highly recommend this and other RedBike Publishing books on the subject – they are quite helpful for those new to the industry and those that are refreshing their studies.”

ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual

“After receiving this book, I quickly skimmed through it prior to sitting down for a close study. My initial reaction was to wonder just how much information I could learn based on the fact that most of the book was dedicated to practice tests. When I finally took the time to sit down and read it, I was surprised at just how much information it contains. The book tells you how to prepare, to include learning all security disciplines, how to manage your time, and how to study the NISPOM. The practice tests are a great opportunity to time yourself, and help to identify areas of weakness. I truly recommend this book for anyone considering the ISP Certification… it is a great tool to have!”

“As most others I am a seasoned FSO. However, based on research I did, once I decided to take the ISP Exam I quickly learned to not take it cold. I got my workbook from NCMS and researched what other tools are out there to better help prepare me for the exam. I quickly discovered Mr. Bennet’s ISP certification manual and after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews I knew this would be well worth the money! ”

Like many seasoned industrial security representatives, I feel like I know it all. I have been in this industry almost 25 years; I know where to look for answers, and I have my contacts. But one day it occurred to me just how much has changed during my career – enter the Internet, enter computer based training, enter instant security clearances (Interims), enter the JPAS/e-QIP interface, enter diminished contact with my cleared employees and visitors. Admitting that the contact with my cleared employees is not as intimate as it used to have to be, somehow I felt that I was loosing touch with my own skill set because of it. Jeffrey Bennett’s book is very insightful into our industry, for he works with and supports, and motivates, this industry. You should consider buying the ISP Certification – The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual, and spend 30 minutes with it each evening after work. Reinvigorate yourself. Give your imagination and professional growth some quiet stimulation. Remember. Refresh yourself. The best security education dollar you can spend, and not even leave home.”

Lisa Doman, Sierra Vista, AZ

“I am excited to write a recommendation for you. I am impressed with your knowledge base of our field and you have been helpful when called upon. I purchased your book, ISP Exam Manual. The set up and information contained in the book has increased my confidence in taking the exam. I look forward to working with you as my proctor for the test. “

TJ Knight, FSO, Applied Geo Technologies, Huntsville, AL

“Jeff provides a paramount service with his book that assists in taking the ISP test. He gives insight into what is needed to help you be certified in the security industry today. Jeff’s dedication and attention to detail is second to none and I highly recommend him on a professional level.”

Kenneth Wontz, President. Trinity Security Consultants, VA

“Written by a security consultant of twenty-two years of experience in military intelligence, contracting and security, ISP Certification: The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual is a instructional resource created to provide career security specialists with what they need to know to protect our nation’s secrets. The text offers practical advice for security professionals and a working understanding of the NISPOM and Presidential Executive Orders implementing the National Industrial Security Program, but the heart of ISP Certification is its four practice tests designed to probe the depths of one’s knowledge. An absolute “must-have” for anyone in federal positions requiring a thorough knowledge of security procedures, and highly recommended for the libraries of federal agencies.”
