Derivation Chain

Step 1 Government policy to nurture 100 defense Startups
→
Step 2 Defense market entry barrier Education
→
Step 3 Defense security certification (facility/personnel) preparation simulation training

Problem

Startups entering the defense market must obtain mandatory security certifications (facility security, personnel security, information security) but don't understand the preparation process, receiving 3–5 supplementation requests after application and taking an average of 8–12 months. Security consulting costs $15,000–$37,500 per engagement.

Solution
