Aerospace & Defense Manufacturers

Opening Doors to Enable Mission Success

Filling Complex Needs with Partnerships

Diversity and specialization are critical for aerospace and

defense manufacturers. Manufacturing facilities are often

spread across different continents, with products ranging

from unmanned surface and aircraft systems to weaponry

and ammunition. To say that the production of these goods

is complicated is a gross understatement. It is impossible

to execute everything in-house; manufacturers must make

key partnerships with expert suppliers and sub-contractors

to complete projects on-time and on-budget.

Their buildings must have revolving doors for clients,

suppliers, sub-contractors, and guests. Visitors need to have

access at specified dates and times for inspections and

meetings, and certain areas necessitate enhanced levels of

security. While some guests are pre-registered and cleared

to enter their facilities, others are not – and differentiating

between the two is crucial to mission success.

Protecting Against Unauthorized Access

Although aerospace and defense manufacturers are in the

protection business, many find themselves overwhelmed

with the day-to-day security concerns that befall cleared

facilities. Classified assets, like product specifications and

top-secret documents, must be safeguarded, as well as

physical property.

With so many visitors arriving every day, it is critical

for security guards, receptionists, and Facility Security

Officers (FSOs) to manage the traffic. Guests represent

vulnerabilities; the Security office must know who has

access to what – and when.

Aerospace and defense manufacturers demand

visitor management solutions that address

challenges concerning:

SCREENING

To understand who is inside your facility, when

they will be there, and what they will come into

contact with, you must know more than names

and company affiliations. Information such as

citizenship and clearance level must be examined

systematically to protect against unwanted

visitors – like those on government watch lists.

PROCESSING

The visitor check-in process must be quick and

efficient. Bottlenecks can cause the system to

break down, and failure is not an option when it

comes to national security. The solution needs to

handle different visitor, identification, and badge

types – no matter who is running it.

REQUIREMENTS

Cleared contracts must abide by certain rules,

like those within the National Industrial Security

Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), the

Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI)

guidelines, and the International Traffic in Arms

Regulations (ITAR). Conditions are subject to

change at any time, and audits are performed

to ensure compliance. Failure to adhere to the

smallest detail may result in contract termination

Streamlining Visitor Management

MathCraft Security Technologies is the leading

provider of FSO technologies and software,

equipping today’s cleared facilities with the tools

security officers need to govern daily security tasks

effectively. MathCraft’s enterprise security suite

includes Portal Commander™, a case management

solution that automates workflows within a digital,

dashboard-driven platform. The suite also includes

Access Commander®, a web-based accountability

system that simplifies the organization and

administration of Defense Security Service (DSS)

requirements.

The final piece of MathCraft’s enterprise security

suite is ViSi Commander™. This comprehensive

visitor management software was designed

specifically for classified facilities. Whether

sites are located domestically or overseas, ViSi

Commander™ allows aerospace and defense

manufacturers to connect every facility under one

system. Its modules offer pre-registration, watch

list, and check-in/out capabilities, simplifying

critical procedures for the entire security office.

COMPLIANT – Instead of maintaining a vulnerable logbook, ViSi

Commander™ digitizes the entire check-in process. It also meets

NISPOM, FOCI, and ITAR standards – alleviating audit fears with

everything that you need at your fingertips.

SECURE – The Personally Identifiable Information (PII) ViSi

Commander™ collects allows security officers to pre-approve visitors

while monitoring watch lists. To protect PII, the system encrypts

data in transit and at rest, and it also compartmentalizes it based

on facility codes - restricting data access to only those users who

require it.

INTUITIVE – Identify who is in your facility – and who is scheduled

to arrive – within ViSi Commander™’s easy-to-navigate system. Scan

government IDs, capture photos and signatures, and print badges

with a few clicks. For added convenience, employees can pre-

register guests while guided-routing functionality expedites the visit

approval process.

PROFESSIONAL – Automated, electronic procedures ensure that

visitors move through the check-in process quickly, and high-quality

badges make them feel welcome. Smaller manufacturers can offer

the same level of service as their larger competitors – if not better –

with ViSi Commander™’s polished, efficient methodology.

SCALABLE – Available on-premises or via Microsoft’s FedRAMP-

approved Azure platform in the cloud, ViSi Commander™ offers true

flexibility for organizations of all sizes. It can be used to oversee one

facility or many, and it has unlimited record management potential

thanks to Microsoft’s SQL Server.

Creating an Environment for Success

Aerospace and defense manufacturers provide vital technology, expertise, and support to the federal government and

commercial enterprises. Their work keeps America and its allies safe and secure - but no organization can do it alone. It takes a

team of talented individuals and manufacturers to execute intricate orders and assignments.

Safeguarding sensitive infrastructure and information from unauthorized access is no small task. It is essential for manufacturers

to open their doors, though, while preserving secrets. MathCraft’s enterprise security suite with ViSi Commander™ allows them to

do just that - adeptly managing the flow of suppliers, sub-contractors, and guests.

With the necessary tools and expertise, aerospace and defense manufacturers can keep the mission on track and fueled for success.

ViSi Commander™ gives aerospace and defense manufacturers a
