Which role is responsible for receiving reports of security violations and conducting administrative inquiries?

• A. IS Reps
• B. ISSM
• C. FSO
• D. CISAs

Answer: (A)

Handling incident reporting and initial fact-finding in an industrial security program is the responsibility of the Information Security Representative. This role acts as the designated point of contact for anyone who observes or suspects a security violation, ensuring the report is received, properly documented, and subjected to an initial administrative inquiry to establish what happened, gather facts, and determine the appropriate next steps. The IS Reps coordinate with security leadership to preserve evidence, escalate to the right authorities if needed, and keep the process moving within established procedures. The other roles have different primary duties. The Facility Security Officer oversees the overall physical security program and day-to-day compliance, not the initial intake and inquiry of every violation. The Information System Security Manager focuses on protecting information systems and implementing security controls for IT. Certified Information Systems Auditors perform audits and assessments of security controls rather than handling the first report and inquiry into violations.
