Role of PM in Security
If during Project Start-up, the PM identifies the need for a Project Security Manager (PSM), the PSM
may assume many of the following responsibilities. Otherwise, the PM is responsible for
managing/delegating the following security responsibilities of the project:
• In consultation with the Facility Security Officer (FSO), the local security company, and/or Vysnova
Management, managing and coordinating all security projects, plans, and policies relevant to a
project
• Reporting security incidents or violations and recommending corrective actions, as appropriate,
to the local security company (OCONUS), Vysnova Management (CONUS), or Vysnova
Management and the FSO (Cleared Projects)
• Coordinating with the FSO to ensure all new employees/contractor personnel have received
appropriate security orientations/training, background investigations, and clearances at the pre-
or post-assignment stages (Cleared Projects ONLY)
• For OCONUS field offices, ensuring that project office and residential site emergency evacuation
plans are completed and updated and that all project staff and visitors are knowledgeable of and
covered by their provisions
• For OCONUS field operations, liaising with the local US Embassy and/or UN present to develop
security plans and inform them of our presence

Facility Security Officer
Vysnova outsources a Facility Security Officer for service and guidance on our Cleared Projects. If
managing a Cleared Project, the FSO should be invited to the Contract Kickoff via the email address
fso@vysnova.com. The PM will also be required to read the ANNEX G: Managing Cleared Projects and
obtain FSO signature upon completion of reading the annex and consultation with the FSO.

Corporate-Level Security

Physical Security
Vysnova staff working in Vysnova offices should refer to the Employee Manual and signs posted in
designated areas for evacuation procedures. In the event of normal weather-related emergencies,
Vysnova home office employees will follow OPM (www.opm.gov) guidance regarding the option to
telework to avoid dangerous commutes. If working at a client location, Vysnova staff will follow client
guidance on teleworking or continuity of operations. In the event of a larger emergency that disrupts
normal operations, the Vysnova corporate office will release specific guidance on the continuity of
operations via email.

PMs expecting visitors to a Vysnova office are required to have all visitors sign in at the reception desk
and wear the designated visitor badges. Vysnova staff working at or visiting client sites will abide by
client security and badge requirements.
