Testimonial:

Telophase's continued growth and increased operational tempo required additional security administration support to ensure our National Industrial Security Program (NISP) remained compliant, met our internal needs and that of our government customer's. As a result, we decided to seek out a professional security expert to assist our Facility Security Officer (FSO) with conducting; required security awareness training, processing and validating personal security clearances and helping with other routine security administrative duties. Our search led us to Athena Global Solutions (AGS), a professional Industrial Security Consulting firm dedicated to providing highly trained seasoned security professionals that were well equipped to meet our needs and our expectations.

Athena Global Solutions provided a detailed plan of support as well as a certified security professional acting in the capacity of Deputy and or Assistant FSO Consultant to our appointed FSO. AGS's AFSO provided invaluable security awareness training and excellent administrative support to our FSO. Their knowledge of all NISP security requirements greatly assisted our personnel security clearance processes ensuring our Joint Personnel Adjudicative System (JPAS) PSM Network obtained 100% accuracy. Furthermore, they conducted a thorough internal self-assessment of our entire NISP identifying and correcting areas in need of improvement provided recommendations to better organize our security program and implemented spot on security procedures. They also assisted with the preparation for our annual Defense Security Service (DSS) Vulnerability Assessment which was an invaluable service.

As a result of AGS's efforts, our DSS Industrial Security Representative (ISR) rated our facilities security posture as "Commendable". AGS also stood by their work by being present during this most important assessment. We could not have achieved this highly desirable security posture rating without the immeasurable help of our partner, Athena Global Solutions! They were prepared, responsive, professional and courteous throughout the time of their support and they were a pleasure to work with.
