Independent resources for the FSO community

About FSOtools

Built by Darin Adams for people who manage security clearances and reporting. FSOtools brings together practical guides, reviewed questions, and browser tools with links to their sources.

Sources and scope

Guides cite the applicable regulations, directives and agency guidance. Follow those links to check the authority and the context for a statement. Your agency, contract and cognizant security authority may provide additional instructions.

The FSO Knowledge Desk publishes answers the maintainer has reviewed and accepted. Questions awaiting review are identified separately. Acceptance is not government approval; the public wiki is a reference snapshot, not a live currency monitor.

The Adjudication Atlas describes published DOHA decisions held in its dataset. Its coverage, extraction methods and limitations are explained on the landing page. Historical outcomes do not predict an individual case.

What the dates mean

A content review date records when guidance was checked against its sources. Atlas dataset dates describe the data release. A site build date records when the website was assembled; it does not mean every source or answer was reviewed on that day.

Website analytics and tool privacy

Public guides and product landing pages use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure visits and page performance without tracking cookies. Cloudflare receives page-view and performance information from these pages.

The Atlas explorer, FSO Knowledge Desk and insider threat tool pages are excluded from the analytics beacon. Their browser tools retain their existing network restrictions, and downloaded offline editions are unchanged. We do not add analytics events for searches, form entries or saved records.

The MCP connectors for AI assistants are reference servers on this domain: they serve published material to an assistant you connect, keep no request logs and no sessions, and store nothing about you. The connectors page lists each one with its status and privacy posture.

About Cloudflare Web Analytics

The consultant directory is a separate service on this site. It stores the business information that listed consultants submit and control, under its own privacy notice. The rest of this site still collects nothing beyond the analytics described above.

Corrections

Use the Report a correction link at the bottom of a page, or email the maintainer. Include the page address and the official source relevant to the correction. Do not include personal case details or classified information.

Independent and open about its limits

FSOtools is not an official product of DoD, DCSA, ODNI or DOHA, and does not provide legal advice. Tools support preparation and research; they do not make Government determinations.
