Our Credentials

Certifications

Many security "consultants" have no independent, credible certification in

the subject matters they work with.

Most certifications available to those in the security field do not cover

topics critical to the protection of classified national security information,

such as the National Industrial Security Program

Operating Manual (NISPOM) and pertinent federal

orders and directives.

NCMS, Inc., a non-profit professional society, offers the

Industrial Security Professional (ISP) certification (their

registered trademark). It provides certification to

experienced security professionals who pass a rigorous

examination covering the NISPOM, Executive Orders,

federal directives, and other matters essential to the

proper operation of a cleared facility's security

program. Our Principal Consultant, Michael

Bush, is certified both as an ISP by NCMS, Inc.

and as a Physical Security Professional (PSP) by

ASIS International.

Our service

This is what we do full-time. Our Principal Consultant provides service to

our clients on weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. In a typical month we

spend dozens of hours keeping up on the latest regulations, procedures, and

developments in this field. Those moonlighting outside their regular jobs

and retirees with outdated experience and knowledge cannot say the same

(nor are they likely to carry professional liability insurance.)

Rather than offering cookie cutter products and solutions, we provide

services tailored to each client's unique needs. We offer remote or on site

service nationwide.

We remain unbiased and devoted to our clients' interests. We do not

receive kickbacks or rewards for referrals.

cleared facility's security program, including:

Our mission
