The DoD 5220.22-R ISR primarily addresses what aspect?

• A. Policies, practices and procedures of the NISP for DoD components and non-DoD agencies with DoD agreements
• B. Financial auditing for defense contractors
• C. Personnel recruitment
• D. Export controls for dual-use items

Answer: (A)

This regulation focuses on safeguarding classified information in contractor environments under the National Industrial Security Program. It lays out the policies, practices, and procedures that DoD components and non-DoD agencies with DoD agreements must follow to implement industrial security. That includes how facilities are cleared to handle classified material, how information is stored and protected, personnel security measures, and training and inspections to ensure ongoing compliance. It’s not about financial auditing, personnel hiring, or export controls for dual-use items—those are governed by different programs and regulations. So the best description is that it addresses the policies, practices, and procedures of the NISP for DoD components and non-DoD agencies with DoD agreements.
