Which office is the primary point of conduct for all embassy security matters?

• A. Directorate of Diplomatic Security
• B. Head of Security and Safety
• C. Security Liaison Office
• D. Regional Security Office

Answer: (D)

The Regional Security Office handles on-site leadership for embassy security matters. This office is responsible for coordinating protective security, threat assessments, access control, physical security, and emergency response at the embassy, and it serves as the primary liaison with host nation authorities and the Department of Diplomatic Security. While the Directorate of Diplomatic Security provides the overarching policy and resources for security worldwide, the day-to-day security operations and on-site coordination sit with the RSO. The other roles listed are not the on-site point of contact for all security matters, as they do not oversee the embassy’s daily security operations.
