In Customer Development

The command center for facility security officers.

An FSO carries every clearance, deadline, and reportable across six to eight disconnected systems, alone. Bastion does that work alongside you, catching what's about to lapse before it becomes a finding.

01 / About
The mission

Built for the people who keep America secure.

A facility security officer is responsible for compliance across an organization's entire cleared workforce. The work is scattered across six to eight disconnected systems: clearance statuses in one, training in another, deadlines and reporting requirements everywhere else.

Bastion does that work, staying ahead of deadlines and surfacing what needs attention before it turns into a finding, so an FSO runs cleared programs instead of chasing spreadsheets.

We're focused on mid-market defense contractors with 50 to 500 cleared employees, the teams stuck choosing between expensive legacy enterprise software and manual workflows in spreadsheets. There's nothing built for them. We're building it.

Bastion is built by a founding team with decades spent running industrial security programs inside cleared contractors, and military service in its ranks. Bastion operates under Apollo Universe, Inc., a Delaware C-corp.

For the field

Free tools your team can actually use.

Bastion is a compliance platform for security teams. Along the way, we've been building small no cost tools that answer questions your workforce actually has. No signup, and nothing leaves the browser. This is a small piece of what Bastion does for FSOs full time.

What's Reportable? Live
A cleared employee answers a couple of questions and gets a straight answer: report or not, who to inform, and by when. Grounded in SEAD 3, the NISPOM rule, and DCSA guidance, with the citation on every answer.
Open the tool

For FSOs: built to share Send it to your cleared workforce, put it in onboarding, or drop it in your annual refresher. When something happens, an employee gets a clear answer and an easy way to notify you, instead of staying quiet because they were not sure. Add ?fso=your-security-inbox to the end of the link before you share it, and every report arrives pre-addressed to you.

If you're in this world, we'd value your perspective.

We're in customer development with FSOs and security professionals at defense contractors, and conversations with the people who live this work shape what we build.
