About

FSO Consultants is a Service-Disabled Veteran and Woman Owned Small Business in Allied Gardens, San Diego, providing National Industrial Security Program consulting from 8008 Deerfield Street in the 92120 ZIP. Founded in 2016, the firm helps U.S. businesses competing for Department of Defense classified contracts establish and maintain facility security programs compliant with 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM) and Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) requirements, and defense education providers including Contractors State License Schools in Grantville serve the same contractor community that needs security credentialing. The consulting team handles facility clearance sponsorship coordination, personnel security processing through DISS, annual self-inspections, DCSA inspection preparation, visit and travel request administration, and security vulnerability assessments. The firm's IT posture meets NIST, DFARS, and CMMC compliance standards, with operations running on the Microsoft GCC enclave for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling. The 11-person team manages onboarding and off-boarding of cleared personnel, annual security training delivery, NATO briefings, Common Access Card (CAC) processing, and administrative debriefings in DISS for departing employees. The Allied Gardens office near the Interstate 8 interchange also maintains a West Palm Beach, Florida location, and San Diego's concentration of defense contractors along the Mission Gorge and Kearny Mesa corridors generates steady demand for outsourced FSO services among small and mid-size government subcontractors. Client engagements range from initial facility clearance applications through full outsourcing of the industrial security program under a dedicated consultant model, and physical security assessments address access-control systems and perimeter standards that locksmiths and security installers including 7 Day Locksmith Workshop San Diego in Allied Gardens service on the hardware side. Each client receives a dedicated consultant rather than a call-center routing model, and the firm's track record includes re-baselining training records and passing DCSA inspections within four months of engagement for new clients.
