J2R VETS provides Facility Security Officer (FSO), Facility Clearance (FCL), industrial security, and DCSA compliance support for government contractors, defense contractors, subcontractors, technology companies, staffing firms, professional services firms, cybersecurity providers, and organizations pursuing or maintaining classified contract work.

Companies entering the cleared contracting space often face complex requirements involving DCSA, the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), 32 CFR Part 117 NISPOM compliance, facility clearance sponsorship, personnel security clearances, insider threat programs, NISS, DISS/NBIS processes, self-inspections, adverse information reporting, security training, foreign ownership concerns, and ongoing cleared facility management.

J2R VETS helps organizations build, manage, and maintain compliant security programs so they can compete for classified work, support federal customers, protect sensitive information, and reduce the risk of DCSA findings.

Whether your company needs outsourced FSO services, help obtaining a Facility Clearance, support maintaining an existing FCL, DCSA inspection preparation, security documentation, or cleared workforce support, J2R VETS provides practical, disciplined, and documentation-driven support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Is a Facility Security Officer?

A Facility Security Officer, or FSO, is the individual responsible for managing a cleared contractor’s industrial security program and helping ensure compliance with applicable National Industrial Security Program requirements.

What Does an FSO Do?

An FSO manages security records, personnel clearances, security training, insider threat program support, classified contract documentation, reporting requirements, visit authorizations, self-inspections, and security compliance activities for a cleared contractor.

What Is a Facility Clearance?

A Facility Clearance, or FCL, is an administrative determination that a company is eligible to access classified information or perform classified work at a specific classification level when required by a government contract.

How Does a Company Get a Facility Clearance?

A company generally must be sponsored by a government contracting activity or cleared prime contractor with a legitimate classified contract requirement. The Facility Clearance process involves DCSA review, company documentation, key management personnel review, foreign interest review, security program setup, and compliance steps.

Can a Company Get a Facility Clearance Without a Sponsor?

Generally, a company needs sponsorship from a government agency or cleared contractor with a legitimate classified procurement need before DCSA will process a Facility Clearance.

What Is DCSA?

DCSA stands for Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. DCSA oversees the industrial security program for cleared contractors and processes, issues, and monitors Facility Clearances and related security requirements.

What Is NISPOM Compliance?

NISPOM compliance refers to compliance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual requirements, now implemented through 32 CFR Part 117, which governs how cleared contractors protect classified information and operate security programs.

What Is an Outsourced FSO?

An outsourced FSO is an external security professional or managed service provider that supports or performs FSO-related duties for a cleared contractor that does not have the internal capacity or need for a full-time FSO.

Yes. J2R VETS supports outsourced, interim, assistant, and managed FSO services for contractors that need help managing Facility Clearance, personnel security, DCSA compliance, security documentation, and cleared contractor program requirements.

NISS stands for National Industrial Security System. It is a DCSA system used for industrial security processes, including Facility Clearance sponsorship and cleared contractor security-related workflows.

What Is DISS?

DISS stands for Defense Information System for Security. It has been used for personnel security and clearance-related processes involving cleared personnel and government contractors.

What Is NBIS?

NBIS stands for National Background Investigation Services. It is part of the federal personnel vetting and background investigation modernization environment.

What Is FOCI?

FOCI stands for Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence. FOCI issues involve foreign ownership, foreign control, foreign influence, or foreign interests that may affect a company’s eligibility for a Facility Clearance.

What Is an SF-328?

The SF-328 is the Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests. Companies entering the Facility Clearance process may need to complete it so foreign ownership, control, or influence concerns can be reviewed.

What Is a DCSA Self-Inspection?

A DCSA self-inspection is a contractor-led review of the company’s security program to validate compliance with National Industrial Security Program requirements and identify areas needing correction.

How Often Should a Cleared Contractor Conduct a Self-Inspection?

Cleared contractors are generally expected to conduct self-inspections on a recurring basis as part of maintaining a compliant security program and preparing for DCSA oversight.

Does J2R VETS Help with DCSA Inspection Preparation?

Yes. J2R VETS helps cleared contractors prepare for DCSA inspections, vulnerability assessments, self-inspections, documentation reviews, corrective action plans, and security program improvement.

Who Needs FSO Services?
