The Forensic Innovation Center (FIC) announces new full-service support for Defense Security Service (DSS) facility and personnel clearance process.  For companies bidding to provide goods and services for the Department of Defense, attaining and maintaining such a clearance is critical for growth.  The FIC provides training and guidance at all levels of the security process, including facility clearance processing, personnel clearance processing, facility security officer mentorship, self-inspections and audits, security awareness and procedures.

“Many companies that explore the idea to get a facility clearance become intimidated by the process or aren’t aware of the details and potential pitfalls,” says Kevin Lothridge, CEO. “We can leverage our experience to guide them through the process at any level.  It can build a lot of confidence in a newly cleared company and provide our government with knowledgeable and qualified contractors for our country’s security.” 

David Touchton, NFSTC’s FSO and coordinator of this new initiative, has received recognition as an Industrial Security Professional (ISP) from the National Classification Management Society.

“It’s so important to get it right with your facility clearance details,” says Touchton. “An organization’s clearance can be revoked if it is not carefully maintained. That can affect not only the company, but our country’s access to great technology and innovation.”
