What We Do In Industrial Security
In 2022 while participating in a transitioning service member internship with AIC, Hannah Menne, a former US Army Intelligence Officer, recognized a need within the defense tech ecosystem. It became evident that after startups and small defense companies were awarded classified contracts and DD254s, they faced challenges locating guidance and implementing procedures to comply with the National Industrial Security Program and Operating Manual’s (NISPOM) requirements. She also noticed many struggled to allocate the necessary time and resources to serve as their Facility Security Officer (FSO) and Alternates.
Whether you are seeking assistance beginning the FCL process or simply need Facility Security Officer (FSO) services, AIC supports businesses navigating the complex process of obtaining and maintaining the necessary security clearances to access classified information.
Industrial security consulting services encompass a range of expert guidance and support provided to organizations seeking to obtain, maintain, or upgrade their FCL.
Our consultants work closely with clients and our government counterparts to ensure NISPOM compliance and proactively mitigate security issues that could hinder company operations. Industrial security consulting services fall in line with the DoD NISPOM and the Director of Central Intelligence Directives.

Our Process
Our consultants and Alternate FSOs work closely with clients to evaluate specific needs, develop comprehensive security plans, conduct risk assessments, and provide recommendations for mitigating vulnerabilities. We adapt each service to your company’s requirements, conducting an initial assessment, then providing feedback and recommendations. From there, we employ a cost-effective monthly retainer, based on the organization's structure and needs.
