Why FTSi

Increasingly, companies and educational institutions seeking to do business with the Federal Government must meet higher standards involving classification management, roles and responsibilities of the Facility Security Officer (FSO) and obtainment and management of the Facility Clearance (FCL) process. Specifically, organizations contracting with many Federal agencies must comply with the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) guidelines and gain Facility Security Clearance designation from the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO).
