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
