Steven A. Blais

I provide senior-level, remote Fractional Facility Security Officer (FSO) and Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO) support for small and mid-sized cleared defense contractors—delivering enterprise-grade industrial security without the cost of a full-time, in-house executive.

With 25+ years of DoD industrial security leadership at major defense primes (BAE Systems, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, L3) and agile contractors, I step in immediately to keep your facility clearance, personnel vetting, and NISPOM compliance running smoothly. My most recent DCSA Security Review earned a Superior rating with zero findings, observations, or recommendations.
