What is the term for a DIS regional office with jurisdiction over a facility's geographical area?

The term for a DIS regional office with jurisdiction over a facility's geographical area is the Cognizant Security Office. This office plays a crucial role in overseeing the security responsibilities associated with a specific location, ensuring that security policies and procedures are properly implemented and adhered to.

Cognizant Security Offices are designed to provide support for the specific security needs of the facilities within their jurisdiction. They coordinate with various departments and agencies to ensure compliance with security regulations and guidelines. This includes addressing facility-specific threats and enhancing security awareness and measures tailored to local conditions.

In contrast, other terms like Regional Security Office or Division Security Office may imply broader or different responsibilities that are not specifically tied to the direct oversight of a geographical area, which is the primary function of the Cognizant Security Office. Meanwhile, the Clearance Office is typically associated with the processing of security clearances rather than the jurisdiction of a geographical region concerning facility security.
