Security Program Development for FSOs

A compliant security program must be structured, documented, and operationally effective. Thrive Analysis Group designs security programs that are scalable, defensible, and audit-ready.

We help FSOs:

  • Build or modernize end-to-end security programs
  • Develop policies, procedures, and process documentation
  • Align personnel, information, physical, and industrial security domains
  • Establish repeatable compliance workflows
  • Integrate security into business operations

Whether your organization is standing up its first program or correcting gaps identified during assessment, we provide clear roadmaps and hands-on execution support.

The FSO Workbook

The FSO Workbook is Thrive Analysis Group’s flagship proprietary tool and the foundation of our consulting methodology.

Designed by FSOs for FSOs, the workbook translates NISPOM requirements into actionable, role-based tasks and documentation standards.

Key features include:

  • Structured checklists mapped directly to NISPOM citations
  • Role-specific guidance for FSOs and security staff
  • Built-in documentation tracking and validation
  • Alignment with DCSA expectations and best practices
  • Practical implementation guidance—not theoretical compliance

The FSO Workbook enables organizations to manage compliance proactively rather than reactively.

    Gold Standard Criteria

    Thrive Analysis Group’s Gold Standard Criteria represents our benchmark for what a best-in-class security program should look like.

    This proprietary framework goes beyond minimum compliance to define:

    • What “good” actually looks like during inspection

    • How mature security programs operate day-to-day

    • The documentation, evidence, and behaviors DCSA expects to see

    The Gold Standard Criteria is used to:

    • Evaluate current security program maturity

    • Identify hidden compliance risks

    • Prioritize remediation efforts

    • Elevate programs from compliant to exemplary

    Self‑Inspection as a Service

    Self-inspections are one of the most critical—and most misunderstood—requirements under the NISPOM. Thrive Analysis Group delivers Self‑Inspection as a Service using our proprietary tools and methodology.

    Our approach includes:

    • Full-scope or targeted self-inspections

    • Use of the FSO Workbook™ and Gold Standard Criteria™

    • Evidence-based validation of compliance

    • Clear findings, risk ratings, and remediation guidance

    • Executive-ready reporting

    We do not provide generic checklists. We conduct defensible, inspection-grade evaluations that mirror how DCSA assesses security programs.

     

      FSO Consultation deliverables include your very own FSO Workbook and artifacts  to demonstrate compliance.

      FCL & PCL Support

      • Guidance through FCL sponsorship and DCSA onboarding

      • Development of required documentation (KMP lists, exclusions, e-FCL data)

      • Support for clearance initiation, maintenance, and NISS/DISS/NBIS maintenance

      • Deliverable: Complete clearance documentation and compliance package

      FSO Consultation Provides Customized NISPOM Security Program Development

      We develop or refine all core components of a compliant security program:
