It explores how a strained or non-existent relationship can negatively impact NISPOM compliance and the overall security posture of a facility. The episode covers the roles and responsibilities of both positions, the importance of SMO engagement, and provides recommendations on improving communication and collaboration between FSOs and SMOs.
