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.
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 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.
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.
