What Happened
- DSS scheduled a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) with with a company who had not been visited by DSS in over 3 years.
- The assessment took place and the company was given a “marginal” rating with 15 days to mitigate all vulnerabilities sited on the inspection before the Facility Clearance would he “Administratively Terminated”
- Expert FSO received a call from the company asking that we help them with these vulnerabilities.
- For several days an Expert FSO consultant was on site assisting with this cleanup and the mitigations.
- All vulnerabilities we mitigated in the time requested.
- The company ended up utilizing Expert FSO for all of their day to day Security tasks and DSS compliance matters on a regular basis
Result

- The company no longer has to worry about their Security program now that they have full support from Expert FSO
- The same company had a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) a year and a half later and received a “Commendable” rating from DSS.
