(Loudoun County)
Who We Serve
We support companies and organizations that operate in the defense and national security sectors.
The Department of Defense alone awarded $75 billion in contracts to small businesses in 2019. In this lucrative and growing field, your organization should focus on research, development, production, and distribution. Not security compliance. That’s where Monoc Securities comes in.
The National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) is the bible of the federal defense contracting world. Large contractors devote hundreds of personnel to carrying out their classified-information protection duties under NISPOM. Its eleven chapters cover everything from clearances to subcontracting to information systems security. The level of responsibility and detail can overwhelm new contractors and smaller firms.
Monoc Securities is the one-stop-shop for demystifying NISPOM. We learn your business, explain your obligations, identify the most cost-effective and compliant ways to implement government mandates, help you put those measures in place, and set you up to perform regular audits and reviews. Don’t have all the infrastructure to support an internal compliance program? We will manage any or all elements of your program, host and manage your data, and perform regular audits and reviews.
