DCSA Security Reviews: Staying audit-ready (without the scramble)

December 30, 2025How to prepare for reviews, keep clean records, and where tooling can reduce last-minute risk.

How does FCL Simple help prepare for DCSA security reviews?

DCSA conducts periodic security reviews of cleared facilities. The details of the process evolve over time, but the fundamentals don’t: reviewers want to see consistent execution, clean documentation, and fast answers.

FCL Simple helps you stay audit-ready by:

  • Keeping documentation organized and easy to retrieve
  • Tracking self-inspection schedules, completion, and findings
  • Tracking training certifications and upcoming expirations
  • Surfacing compliance gaps early (before they become findings)
  • Providing reporting and audit trails for accountability

Is FCL Simple “secure enough” for defense contractors?

FCL Simple is built with defense-contractor expectations in mind: role-based access control, SSO compatibility, and complete audit trails so organizations can limit data exposure and prove accountability.

  • Role-based access control: users only see what they need
  • Enterprise SSO support: compatible with Okta, Keycloak, SAML, Google Workspace, and Active Directory
  • Audit trails: logged actions for compliance and accountability
  • Secure cloud architecture: designed for DIB security expectations

Does FCL Simple help with CMMC compliance?

FCL Simple focuses on industrial security (NISPOM) rather than cybersecurity certification (CMMC). That said, there’s overlap in areas like access control, audit logging, security awareness tracking, and personnel vetting documentation — which can help you document certain practices.
