Working with Defense Security Service (DSS), Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO), and Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA), we were able to quickly provide the necessary mitigating information sufficient to result in an expeditious resolution of the Personal Clearance, thereby also resulting in a favorable adjudication of the Facility Clearance, all of this being accomplished in very short order of just a few days and without the issuance of a Statement of Reasons or the requirement to go through a Hearing, saving the client both time and money and expediting the Contractor's ability to achieved classified contracts.
