About

Need-to-Know (NTK) Consulting LLC provides professional security consulting services to defense contractors, government partners, and organizations operating within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

We specialize in helping organizations establish, maintain, and improve their industrial security programs while navigating complex government security requirements. Whether a company is pursuing its first Facility Clearance (FCL), expanding its classified operations, or strengthening an existing security program, NTK Consulting provides practical, experienced guidance tailored to its needs.

Our services include Facility Clearance readiness and sponsorship support, NISPOM compliance, Facility Security Officer (FSO) advisory and support services, security program development, self-inspections, personnel security, and preparation for government security reviews.

We also provide specialized support for secure facility planning, construction, and accreditation, including Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and Special Access Program Facilities (SAPFs). From initial planning and security requirements through construction oversight and accreditation, we help organizations navigate the process efficiently and effectively.

With more than two decades of experience in military and defense industry security leadership, NTK Consulting understands the operational challenges organizations face and provides straightforward, cost-effective solutions.

Our goal is simple: help organizations meet security requirements, reduce compliance risks, and focus on their core mission without the burden of navigating complex security regulations alone.
