Nuclear Security Operations

Nuclear security functions by their very nature must be “zero defects” operations – failure is not an option. Members of our staff are among the most senior nuclear security planners, programmers, practitioners and quality assurance/oversight executives in the entire world. With deep background and experience in defense and commercial security operations, our staff can assist you with the full spectrum of support, from requirements definition to concept design, policy development to security master planning, high-level systems design to program management and integration oversight. In addition, we can engage in specific functional areas to include staff selection and development, human reliability program development and support, all manner of training programs and exercises, and of course the design, development and implementation of comprehensive oversight, evaluation, and quality assurance programs.

Our nuclear experience includes the specialities of security of Department of Defense nuclear weapons programs and installations, personnel reliability programs and policy, nuclear weapons policy and planning, as well as nuclear weapons surety and safety.  Watermark staff members have provided security and surety support to the Department of Energy and the National Labs.  We also have staff members with extensive experience in the planning and maintenance of security for commercial nuclear facilities.

With responsible experience at high levels of government and industry, our experts have relationships with and access to current and former directors of security at every level of nuclear security operations. We can benchmark programs literally around the world, identifying the best features of the best programs and tailoring the concepts to unique geographic, demographic, and political aspects of this highly challenging security arena. From concept development and advocacy to protective force evaluations, we bring a level of support and confidence that will position your programs for true zero defect achievement.

Watermark provides a broad range of security policy, planning, and operational management services at levels from the strategic to the tactical. In addition to advising companies on how to better prepare and manage their security investment and resources, we also assist companies across the security industry to grow their businesses strategically.
