Whether you work in Defence, hyperscale data centres, aviation or critical national infrastructure, these answers explain exactly how our process supports compliant, predictable access for your supply chain.

Frequently asked questions

Security mobilisation is the process of ensuring subcontractors meet all confidentiality, identity verification and vetting requirements before they access a sensitive project environment.
Without a structured process, projects face mobilisation delays, failed access requests, incomplete NDAs, inconsistent BPSS checks and avoidable programme disruption.

No. We do not perform the BPSS screening.
We coordinate the process by:

  • Checking documentation is complete
  • Ensuring identity evidence meets BPSS standards
  • Liaising with your approved vetting provider
  • Tracking progress for each individual
  • Reporting clearance status weekly

Yes. We issue project-specific NDAs using your agreed document, track signature completion and maintain audit-ready evidence.
We ensure 100% coverage before confidential project information is shared.

Yes. We communicate directly with subcontractors to request signatures, documentation and clearance updates.
This removes the administrative burden from your supply chain or project teams.

We follow strict data-handling practices. All documents are managed securely, access is restricted, and evidence is stored in controlled environments aligned with client policies.
No data is shared outside of authorised project and vetting workflows.

Yes. We support SC-eligible workflows by ensuring all personnel complete BPSS first and have the correct identity documents and background information required for SC processing.
We do not conduct SC clearance ourselves.

Typical causes include:

  • Missing or incorrect ID documentation
  • Incomplete BPSS evidence
  • Delayed NDA signatures
  • Miscommunication between subcontractors and vetting providers
  • Lack of real-time tracking

We eliminate these by providing structured coordination and weekly reporting.

  • NDA completion status (per subcontractor)
  • BPSS progress (per individual)
  • Outstanding actions or blockers
  • Estimated readiness dates
  • Risks requiring escalation
  • Subcontractor-by-subcontractor breakdown

This gives full visibility to project and security teams.

We support:

  • High-security projects in various industries
  • Aviation and data centre expansions
  • MOD-adjacent and secure government programmes
  • Any environment where subcontractor access must be controlled

We currently operate within the UK market but support UK-based clients with international subcontractors, provided vetting follows UK BPSS standards.
