While serving as a trusted advisor to the Installation/Mission Commander concerning all security programs, I implement, oversee, administer, manage the budget, and ensure compliance to standing regulations, policies, and procedures for six critical security programs: • Information Security (INFOSEC)• Personnel Security (PERSEC)• Foreign Disclosure• Special Access Programs/SCIF Operations• Operations Security (OPSEC)• Security Education & Training Awareness Notably, when I took the position, I was able to quickly rectify the 14 failing deficiencies across all six programs. While modernizing the programs, I identified that the security office was hindered by its location. I developed a proposal to move the office to co-locate with the mission force and completed the project under time and under budget, resulting in $45K of annual cost savings. Importantly, we also saw a 100% increase in workforce interaction and threat reporting as well as an unquantifiable increase in the workforce security culture and a significant decrease in security incidents. In addition, I fulfill the duties of Surety Chemical Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) Manager, Team Training Program Leader, Foreign Disclosure Officer, Command OPSEC Officer, and Supervisor of the Security Management Office.
