Which role is described as overseeing insider threat program activities within cleared facilities?

• A. Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO)
• B. Facility Security Officer (FSO)
• C. Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA)
• D. Counterintelligence Special Agent (CISA)

Answer: (A)

Oversight of insider threat program activities within cleared facilities is handled by the Insider Threat Program Senior Official. This role is responsible for directing and supervising the insider threat program, ensuring policies are implemented, risks are monitored, and incidents are managed across the facility. They work with the Facility Security Officer and security leadership to integrate insider threat detection, reporting, and training into daily operations and ensure alignment with applicable directives. The Facility Security Officer focuses on physical security and access controls, not the overall insider threat program. The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency is the agency that oversees program compliance and evaluations at a higher level, not a facility-based lead. A Counterintelligence Special Agent conducts investigations within counterintelligence but does not serve as the on-site lead for insider threat program management. Therefore, the Insider Threat Program Senior Official is the best fit.
