MIL receives “Superior” rating from 2017 DSS Security Self-Inspection

Under the leadership of MIL’s Facility Security Officer (FSO), Tesfaye Swanson, MIL completed a self-inspection audit on February
22, 2017 for cage code OCA21. The National Industrial Security Program, also known by NISPOM, requires federal contractors to
review their security system on a continuing basis and to conduct formal self-inspections at intervals consistent with risk management
principles. As a result of the inspection, MIL received a “Superior” rating from the Defense Security Service (DSS) based on a
vulnerability assessment conducted at MIL’s facility on January 4th..

Keys to Success

Contributing to MIL’s outstanding rating was the completion of several key security-related tasks, including:

» EXECUTING 2017 REFRESHER BRIEFINGS ON » UPDATING OUR COMSEC SOPS, NATO BRIEFING, AND
