Commercial Spaceport Security

Commercial Spaceport Security

Our commercial spaceport security teams help protect launch sites, aerospace facilities, proprietary technology, personnel, and critical support infrastructure in a fast-growing sector with limited dedicated security guidance. SOM provides threat and vulnerability assessments, perimeter security planning, access-control support, insider-threat mitigation, emergency-response coordination, and security-force training for commercial launch environments.

The problem:

Commercial spaceports face a unique mix of risks: large open perimeters, sensitive launch technology, propellant and hazardous-material storage, insider threats, unauthorized access, protest activity, drone incursions, industrial espionage, emergency-response complexity, and coordination challenges between private operators, regulators, law enforcement, and emergency services.

S.O.M solution:

S.O.M builds security programs for spaceports and launch infrastructure by combining site assessments, layered perimeter planning, controlled-access workflows, protection of sensitive areas, contractor and visitor screening, emergency-response planning, drone-detection considerations, and tabletop exercises. Our approach helps operators protect launch operations, reduce disruption, and strengthen readiness before an incident occurs.

Why S.O.M:

S.O.M brings Special Operations leadership, critical-infrastructure protection experience, ISO 18788 & 9001 aligned practices, and disciplined planning for complex operating environments. Commercial spaceports require more than standard facility security — they require a security program built around high-value technology, public safety, regulatory coordination, and mission continuity.
