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and retirees with outdated experience and knowledge cannot say the same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.
