Monoc Securities is a certified Veteran-owned Small Business based in Northern Virginia, supporting companies that work with the U.S. Government. With more than 20 years of experience, the firm focuses on helping cleared and uncleared businesses, including emerging technology companies and organizations with Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) requirements, navigate complex national security compliance.

Its consulting and advising services help companies understand clearance and 32 CFR Part 117 requirements, address FOCI and CFIUS compliance, and improve security programs at risk of falling short. Clients can engage Monoc as a guide for navigating requirements, a fixer to help bring programs into compliance, or an auditor providing an independent assessment and recommendations.

Monoc also provides training and coaching for security and non-security teams on U.S. Government security requirements. Its talent placement service helps organizations recruit security leaders and qualified Outside Directors for FOCI boards. Through these services, Monoc aims to help clients protect their intellectual property, avoid costly delays, and manage security obligations with expert support.
