MHSS provides end-to-end Facility Security Officer (FSO) support to ensure uninterrupted compliance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and Defense Counterintelligence, and Security Agency (DCSA) requirements. Whether you need emergency interim coverage, long-term placement, or backup support, our experienced FSOs integrate seamlessly into your operations.
We understand that loss of an FSO, inspection findings, or clearance delays can place contracts at risk. Our team responds rapidly, deploying qualified professionals within 48 hours when needed, to maintain facility clearance, manage personnel security, and prepare organizations for inspections.
Our FSO services cover personnel clearance processing (SF-86, DISS/NISS), visit authorizations, DD Form 254 management, security training programs, insider threat requirements, and self-inspection readiness. By eliminating single points of failure, we help organizations remain inspection-ready at all times.
While cybersecurity is not our sole focus, MHSS delivers CMMC 2.0 certification as part of a broader security, and compliance program. We help defense contractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while meeting DoD requirements without overengineering or unnecessary disruption.
Our approach begins with gap assessments aligned to CMMC Levels 1, 2, or 3, followed by implementation support for NIST SP 800-171 controls, policy development, and documentation such as System Security Plans (SSPs), and POA&Ms. We also prepare organizations for third-party assessments and coordinate directly with C3PAOs.
By integrating cyber controls into existing security governance structures, we ensure compliance is sustainable, auditable, and aligned with real operational needs.
MHSS manages the full lifecycle of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), ensuring compliance with Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 requirements from initial design through final accreditation.
We work closely with architects, engineers, and cleared contractors to ensure physical construction, acoustic protection, access controls, and intrusion detection systems meet strict security specifications. Our services also include coordination of Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), TEMPEST considerations, and accreditation documentation for Cognisant Security Authorities.
Whether supporting permanent, temporary, open-storage,e or closed-storage SCIFs, we ensure facilities pass inspections on first submission, allowing clients to access TS/SCI and Special Access programs with confidence.
MHSS supports organizations operating within complex international, and multi-national security environments. Our team provides expertise in NATO security requirements, Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) mitigation, export controls, and international compliance frameworks.
We assist clients in aligning U.S. security standards with allied government requirements, protecting classified information, technical data, and intellectual property across borders. Our experience ensures organizations can expand globally without compromising compliance or national security obligations.
Compliance is not a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing discipline. MHSS helps organizations develop resilient compliance programs aligned with NISPOM, ICD 705, ITAR, CMMC, and other regulatory frameworks.
We conduct vulnerability assessments, develop insider threat programs, manage corrective action plans, and support audit remediation efforts. Our continuous monitoring approach ensures organizations identify risks early, maintain documentation accuracy, and remain inspection-ready throughout the year.
By embedding compliance into daily operations, we help clients reduce long-term costs while strengthening security culture.
