Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for founder FSOs and security teams — with deeper guides if you want to go further.

What is FCL Simple?

FCL Simple is an industrial security management platform built for defense contractors in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). It helps you manage DD254s, personnel clearances (PCLs), training, and audit-ready compliance records in one secure place. Read the overview →

Who is FCL Simple designed for?

Founder FSOs, growing cleared contractors, FSO consultants managing multiple clients, and cleared personnel who need self‑service visibility into training and certification status. See who it’s for →

How is FCL Simple different from spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets work until they don’t: expirations slip, documents scatter, and audit prep turns into a scramble. FCL Simple centralizes records and automates tracking + notifications so you stay audit-ready with less manual overhead. Compare approaches →

What compliance tasks can be automated (and what still needs an FSO)?

Administrative work like expiration tracking, reminders, document organization, and reporting can be automated. Security decisions, briefings, incident response, and DCSA relationship management still require human judgment. Full breakdown →

Is FCL Simple a replacement for DISS, NISS, or NBIS?

No. Government systems remain the systems of record. FCL Simple complements them by importing/exporting data for easier day‑to‑day tracking, training visibility, internal audit trails, and reporting. How it fits →

What is a Facility Clearance (FCL)?

An FCL is DCSA’s determination that your company is eligible (from a national security standpoint) to access classified information at a specified level. Read the guide →

How do companies obtain an FCL, and how long does it take?

Companies can’t apply directly — you need sponsorship from a Government Contracting Activity (GCA) or a cleared prime contractor. Timelines vary based on KMP clearances, corporate complexity, and FOCI considerations. Details + typical timelines →

What’s the difference between an FCL and a PCL?

An FCL applies to the organization (your facility). A PCL applies to an individual and is tied to their investigation, adjudication, and continuous evaluation status. See the full comparison →

Can a one-person company get an FCL?

Typically, no — DCSA will not process an FCL for a one‑person company. In many cases the prime can sponsor the individual as a consultant under the prime’s FCL instead. Read the nuance →

What is a DD Form 254 (DD254)?

The DD254 (Contract Security Classification Specification) communicates security requirements for a classified contract (or subcontract), including classification level, safeguarding, systems, and special requirements. DD254 guide →

What happens if my DD254 requirements don’t match my FCL?

Mismatches can block performance (e.g., DD254 requires a higher level or safeguarding capability you don’t have). Your FSO should review every DD254 immediately and resolve gaps early. Common issues →

What training is required for cleared employees (NISPOM)?

Common requirements include initial briefings, annual refresher and insider threat training, and derivative classification training (every 2 years) for those with derivative authority. Training requirements guide →

How do I get started with FCL Simple?

The fastest way is to schedule a demo so we can understand your current program, show workflows that match your contracts, and discuss software‑only vs. software + services. Schedule a demo →

What are my options for software vs. services?

Start with software-only, add advisory, or use full AFSO services to offload day-to-day operations. Most teams mix and match based on current contract load. Compare models →

What data can I import into FCL Simple?

You can import DISS subject exports, personnel rosters, DD254 documents, and training records to get current quickly. See supported imports →

How long does implementation take?

Most organizations are up and running in 1–2 weeks (configuration, data import/validation, user setup, and admin training). Implementation details →

How does FCL Simple help prepare for DCSA security reviews?

It helps you stay audit-ready with organized documentation, training visibility, self-inspection tracking, and audit trails — so review prep is less scramble and more checklists. Read the guide →

Is FCL Simple secure enough, and does it help with CMMC?

FCL Simple is built with defense-contractor expectations in mind (RBAC, SSO, audit trails). It’s focused on NISPOM, but overlaps with CMMC in areas like access control, logging, and training tracking. Security + CMMC notes →
