+ Develop, review, and implement program‑specific security procedures for ACSSO staff, including Program Access Requests, Classified Visit Certifications, training, records, accountability, personnel security, and other disciplines as needed.

+ Analyze, investigate, and resolve classified security issues while providing leadership and guidance to employees, supervisors, managers, and contractors on required corrective actions.

+ Prepare and submit status reports to management, senior leadership, and applicable government agencies, with review as appropriate from security and/or company management.

+ Provide oversight of ACSSO tasking, including development, review, and maintenance of program security documentation.
