Govology: How to Obtain and Keep a Facility Security Clearance

Obtaining a Facility Clearance (FCL) can be a game-changer for federal government contractors, unlocking new opportunities to work on classified projects and expand business potential. However, an FCL is far more than a simple compliance credential—it is a serious commitment with strict security obligations, continuous oversight, and operational impacts. Companies pursuing an FCL must be prepared to implement rigorous security controls, meet ongoing compliance requirements, and adapt their internal processes to maintain eligibility.

Join Andrew Hair, Facility Security Officer for Masser Technologies, for an in-depth exploration of the FCL process, including key requirements, common challenges, and essential strategies for securing and maintaining an FCL. Gain valuable insights on engaging with a sponsor and confidently navigating the application process.

Topics covered include:

• What is an FCL in the National Industrial Security Program

• Benefits and business impact of securing an FCL

• Key requirements and challenges of obtaining an FCL

• CMMC preparation and the FCL

• Steps in the FCL application process (suitability, training, and submission)

• Roles and responsibilities of Key Management Personnel

• The timeline and processing expectations for an FCL

• FCL post-approval obligations and maintaining compliance

Target Audience: Federal government contractors seeking to understand the process of obtaining and maintaining an FCL for their business. APEX Accelerator counselors are also encouraged to attend.
