Which of the following roles is filled by a government employee?

• A. Industrial Security Representative (IS Rep)
• B. Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO)
• C. Facility Security Officer (FSO)
• D. Information System Security Manager (ISSM)

Answer: (A)

The government employee typically serves as the on-site Industrial Security Representative. This role acts as the government’s point of contact at a cleared facility, ensuring compliance with security requirements, coordinating with the contractor on safeguarding classified information, and representing government expectations during reviews and decisions. Other roles described are usually filled by the facility’s own security staff or by different program offices rather than by government personnel on site (for example, the Facility Security Officer manages daily physical security for the contractor, while the Information System Security Manager focuses on system security, which can be a contractor or government role depending on the contract). Because the question highlights the position that is inherently a government employee on a site, the Industrial Security Representative is the correct choice.
