OUR SERVICES
At SombraSec Strategies, we deliver specialized security consulting for the nuclear, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors. Our services include threat and vulnerability assessments, regulatory compliance support, physical protection strategies, emergency preparedness planning, and tailored training programs. We align every solution with DOE, NRC, ISC, and NISPOM standards—bringing an inspector’s mindset and operator’s experience to every challenge. Whether supporting SMRs, classified facilities, or federal inspections, we help clients build risk-informed, resilient, and audit-ready programs.
Threat & Vulnerability Assessments
Before you can protect what matters, you need a clear picture of your threat landscape.
Who We Serve: NRC licensees, DOE sites, DOD facilities, ISFSI operators, advanced reactor developers (including SMRs), and federal property managers.
We don’t hand you a generic template—we tailor assessments to your facility, risks, and regulatory environment. Our evaluations reflect Design Basis Threats, adversary capabilities, and inspection standards, but go further with site-specific modeling, external responder integration, and layered defense strategies.
Services Include:
-
Security Risk Assessments (SRA)
-
Vulnerability Assessments (VA)
-
Target set and critical asset identification
-
DBT informed scenarios, initiating events, and response effectiveness
-
Insider threat analysis and gap reviews
-
Tabletop Exercises (TTXs), red teaming, and performance-based testing
-
Inspection readiness reviews for NRC, DOE, and ISC audits
-
Lifecycle evaluations for greenfield SMRs, ISFSIs, and advanced reactors
-
External responder coordination and emergency integration
-
Detection, assessment, and communication redundancy checks
-
Custom self-assessment checklists for ongoing validation
Why it Matters: Regulators expect more than paperwork—they want proof your defenses can stand up under pressure. We help you build a tailored threat picture and practical response strategy so you can face inspections and real-world challenges with confidence.
Nuclear Security & Regulatory Compliance
Inspection-ready compliance that meets NRC and DOE expectations.
Who We Serve: SMR developers, advanced reactor projects, DOE contractors, and federal primes.
From licensing submittals to ongoing compliance, we provide defensible safeguards and security programs that align with NRC 10 CFR Parts 73/74, DOE Safeguards & Security Orders, NISPOM, and ISC standards. Whether preparing for an NRC audit, DOE assessment, or NNSA review, we make sure your programs stand up to inspection.
Services Include:
-
NRC Licensing Support (10 CFR 73.55 & RG 5.90): Physical Security, Safeguards Contingency, Training & Qualification, Access Authorization, Fitness-for-Duty, Safeguards Information (SGI), and Construction Security Plans
-
DOE Safeguards & Security (DOE Orders & NNSA Standards): Program management & planning, physical protection, personnel security, protective force operations, information security, material control & accountability (MC&A), foreign visits & assignments, and integration with continuity of operations and emergency preparedness
-
FOCI & FCL Compliance: Support for cleared contractor program management, Facility Clearance (FCL) preparation and sustainment, and Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) mitigation strategies
-
ISC Federal Compliance: Programs and assessments aligned with ISC standards for federal facilities
Why it Matters: Developers and contractors can’t afford delays from compliance gaps. We ensure your programs are inspection-ready on day one, so you can focus on building and operating while staying compliant with every federal standard.
Physical Protection & Force Readiness
We help you build protection systems that deter, delay, and defend—on paper and in practice.
​
Who We Serve: NRC licensees, DOE/NNSA sites, advanced reactor developers, ISFSIs, and federal facilities.
We design and evaluate layered protection strategies that combine Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, proven protective force tactics, and advanced detection/assessment technologies. Our support ensures security forces are trained, qualified, and tested for real-world performance and regulatory inspections.
​​
Services Provided:

Post staffing models, tactical deployment strategies, and DBT-aligned post orders
-
Active shooter and armed intruder procedures with site-specific drills
-

Force-on-Force (FoF) exercise planning, scenario and event matrix design, and critique support
-
Comprehensive program evaluations with updated access control and alarm response policies
-
Layered defense strategies with CPTED principles, detection and delay technologies, and event response and recovery solutions
​
Why it Matters: When it’s time to perform, whether under inspection or real-world threat, plans must become action. Your protection program needs to work as a unified system: trained personnel, hardened infrastructure, and clear procedures that perform under stress. We ensure your defenses aren’t just documented—they’re integrated, rehearsed, and ready.
Emergency Preparedness & Continuity Planning
Control the chaos before it starts, with response strategies that regulators trust and operators can execute.
Who We Serve: DOE contractors, federal primes, SMR developers, and critical infrastructure operators.
We develop emergency programs that integrate seamlessly with your licensing strategy, protective systems, and operations. From control room actions and offsite response to COOP/COG execution, we ensure every responder knows their role, every gap is closed, and your plan performs under real-world conditions, not just tabletop review.

Operational Emergency Plans (OEPs) aligned with DOE O 151.1
-
Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) planning
-
Integration of security and emergency response protocols

​
Why it Matters: Emergencies stress every part of your organization. We help you build an integrated program that bridges licensing, operations, and field execution, so you’re not just compliant, you’re ready.
Training, Advisory & Strategic Support
Training designed for your mission—not the other way around.
Who We Serve: Protective force organizations, SMR developers, DOE contractors, and high-risk operators.
We tailor training to your needs, your site, and your mission. Our strength is being innovative and collaborative, building programs that are both regulator-aligned and practical in the field.
