Transform Compliance and Security into Your Advantage in the DIB

ISI is the only partner equipped to meet the compliance and security needs of defense contractors. In the rapidly evolving defense sector, maintaining compliance and robust security is more than a requirement—it’s a responsibility. Our expertise is dedicated to supporting contractors within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) through services such as:  

  • Outsourced AFSO Support and Clearance Services  
  • CMMC and NIST 800-171 compliance 

At ISI, we empower small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to navigate complex regulations, protect sensitive data, and bid on contracts with confidence. Our holistic approach to compliance aligns cybersecurity, managed IT, and regulatory solutions into a single offering. This ensures that contractors meet critical standards like CMMC and NIST 800-171, which safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)—a cornerstone of national security. What we do:  

  • Guide companies through their journey to CMMC Level 2 compliance, offering comprehensive support from scoping and remediation to audit preparation 
  • Enable customers to satisfy 65% of the required security controls outlined in NIST 800-171 during our onboarding and implementation phases alone 
  • Continuously monitor customers’ security posturing and update our security solutions to maintain compliance with ever evolving cybersecurity requirements 

Originally founded to support Facility Security Officers (FSOs), we offer comprehensive outsourced AFSO services designed to assist organizations of all sizes. Our expert AFSOs support customers by: 

  • Guiding them through the FCL application process - 99% of our clients who applied for an FCL received approval, with an average turnaround time of just 53 days in 2024 
  • Managing facility and personnel clearances  
  • Preparing for Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) audits – in 2024 our clients achieved a 100% pass rate 
  • Adhering to National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) requirements 


Each customer is assigned to a dedicated helpdesk team composed of an AFSO and a security specialist to alleviate the administrative burden of industrial security and provide an advanced degree of compliance redundancy. This allows dual-hatted FSOs to focus on their core responsibilities and enables dedicated FSOs to advance broader security initiatives. 

We also leverage our proprietary Security Control software to streamline FSO responsibilities. Security Control offers built-in workflows, tracking, and automation to enhance efficiency across all aspects of industrial security programs, simplifying even the most complex requirements. 

ISI is more than a service provider; we’re a partner committed to your long-term success. Through innovation, collaboration, and unwavering support, we help defense contractors evolve with changing regulations while maintaining operational excellence.
