Challenge
For AMT, FSO duties were secondary to other responsibilities. As the demands on their non-FSO roles increased, it became evident that specialized support was essential.
Results
Partnering with ISI has been transformative for the firm, eradicating any concern about maintaining their FCL.
Services Through ISI
FSO & Clearance Services, Security Control Software
I have nothing but the highest regard for the staff and services that ISS has provided to our firm over the past 10 years. The ISI staff ensures that we remain in compliance with 32 CFR 117. Their Security Control software is a valuable tool that permits our FSO and any cleared staff with training needs to have a single platform where all security documentation can be stored, and it offers a self-service portal where employees can maintain their personal information. Our firm would not be able to maintain our FCL if it were not for our relationship with ISI.

About A. Morton Thomas and Associates, Inc.
Collectively, AMT’s capabilities encompass transportation engineering for roadways, bridges and traffic improvements, related construction management and construction engineering inspection, site design, surveying, landscape architecture, water resources and environmental services, and more. AMT utilizes the best engineering practices, scientific principles, and management solutions allowing them to provide high-quality, ecologically conscious, and cost-effective projects to our clients.The Challenge
Like many small- to medium-sized defense contractors, AMT did not have a dedicated Facility Security Officer (FSO) to focus on addressing security and compliance challenges. AMT began looking for cost-effective solutions to allow their company to improve their security posturing and increase their confidence in maintaining their Facility Clearance (FCL).
The Solution
AMT enlisted the help of ISI to improve its security posturing. Through our FSO & Clearance Services offering, AMT has access to a dedicated Assistant Facility Security Officer (AFSO) and Security Specialist to manage the administrative aspects of their industrial security program and for support before and during its DCSA assessment.
Additionally, AMT utilizes our proprietary security compliance software, Security Control. This platform allows AMT to seamlessly document, manage personal information, and handle visit requests.
The Results
Since partnering with ISI, AMT feels more confident than ever heading into their DCSA assessments. With our help, AMT has reported a 75% increase in its security posturing, 100% improvement in efficiency, and 75% reduction in compliance- and security-related work.
"After partnering with ISI for a decade, I can confidently say that their services are a cornerstone for our firm's compliance," - Richard Higdon.
