Security Training and Briefings







Section 1. Security Training and Briefings







3-100. General.







Contractors shall provide all cleared employees with security



training and briefings commensurate with their involvement with



classified information.











3-101. Training Materials.







Contractors may obtain defensive security, threat awareness, and



other education and training information and material from their



CSA or other sources.











3-102. FSO Training.







Contractors shall be responsible for ensuring that the FSO, and



others performing security duties, complete security training



deemed appropriate by the CSA. Training requirements shall be based



on the facility's involvement with classified information and may



include an FSO orientation course and for FSOs at facilities with



safeguarding capability, an FSO Program Management Course.



Training, if required, should be completed within 1 year of



appointment to the position of FSO.











3-103. Government-Provided Briefings.







The CSA is responsible for providing initial security briefings to



the FSO, and for ensuring that other briefings required for special



categories of information are provided.











3-104. Temporary Help Suppliers.







A temporary help supplier, or other contractor who employs cleared



individuals solely for dispatch elsewhere, shall be responsible for



ensuring that required briefings are provided to their cleared



personnel. The temporary help supplier or the using contractor may



conduct these briefings.











3-105. Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement (SF 312).







The SF 312 is an agreement between the United States and an



individual who is cleared for access to classified information. An



employee issued an initial PCL must execute an SF 312 prior to



being granted access to classified information. The contractor



shall forward the executed SF 312 to the CSA for retention. If the



employee refuses to execute the SF 312, the contractor shall deny



the employee access to classified information and submit a report



to the CSA. The SF 312 shall be signed and dated by the employee



and witnessed. The employee's and witness' signatures must bear the



same date.











3-106. Initial Security Briefings.







Prior to being granted access to classified information, an



employee shall receive an initial security briefing that includes



the following:







a.   A Threat Awareness Briefing.







b.   A Defensive Security Briefing.







c.   An overview of the security classification system.







d.   Employee reporting obligations and requirements.







e.   Security procedures and duties applicable to the employee's



     job.











3-107. Refresher Briefings.







The contractor shall conduct periodic refresher briefings for all



cleared employees. As a minimum, the refresher briefing shall



reinforce the information provided during the initial briefing and



inform employees of appropriate changes in security regulations.



Contractors may satisfy this requirement by use of audio/video



materials and by issuing written materials on a regular basis.











3-108. Debriefings.







Contractors shall debrief cleared employees at the time of



termination of employment (discharge, resignation, or retirement);



when an employee's PCL is terminated, suspended, or revoked; and



upon termination of the FCL.
