DoD Instruction 5220.22 primarily establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for what?

• A. The National Industrial Security Program (NISP) administration
• B. Federal staffing policies
• C. IT security management
• D. Environmental health and safety

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that this instruction provides the policy framework and assigns who is responsible for running the National Industrial Security Program. It defines how the defense industrial security system is managed, including how classified information is protected when handled by industry partners, and outlines which entities are accountable for implementing and overseeing those security requirements. This focus on safeguarding classified information in the industrial base, and on the roles and responsibilities to run that program, makes it distinct from topics like general IT security management, federal staffing policies, or environmental health and safety.
