Who We Are

MSCG is a Jacksonville, FL based consulting firm and was created to ensure compliance with all aspects of DHS security requirements for maritime facilities. Compliance assurance is offered for both MTSA and C-TPAT. Additionally, we offer general security, custom auditing, tests of existing measures, and much more.   –DHS/USCG MTSA: We provide FSO services, training, audits, inspections, guidance, Facility Security Plan writing, drills, exercises, amendments, submissions, and any item needed to keep your facility compliant and functioning within the parameters set by the CFR. Penalty mitigation and business continuity services are available should a facility have a compliance issue.   –US Customs & Border Protection’s CTPAT, (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism): We provide profile creation, review, guidance, and compliance, as well as liaison with US CBP on your behalf.   Services are tailored specifically to your facility to avoid the pitfalls of the “one size fits all” methodology. If you don’t see your regulatory needs under our “capabilities” heading, send us a contact request and we can advise you whether it’s something we can provide, or if one of our trusted partners can handle your request.   You can review our qualifications and capabilities below.
