SIMS Workflow automates a wide range of processes – such as PAR, foreign travel and contacts, and reportable events submissions, IS access requests, and training and candidate onboarding. Using dynamic forms and workflows, automated notifications and reminders, digitally generated and signed government and PDF forms, and data imports from other systems, the solution eliminates manual handoffs and delays – saving significant time for security teams and employees and reducing administrative cost.

Developed based on the real-world needs of security professionals and the national security community, SIMS Workflow offers a library of configurable COTS workflow templates that accelerate solution time-to-value. Our Customer Delivery team can configure each workflow to align to your organization’s unique processes – with conditional routing, role-based data display, customizable questions, data validations, process-based notifications, and more – so teams can enforce compliance and operate more efficiently.

SIMS Workflow digitizes and standardizes critical industrial security processes, ensuring consistent execution, reducing errors, and strengthening compliance. Built-in, step-level validations enforce regulatory requirements across supported workflows – including NISPOM, 32 CFR Part 117, SAP, SCI, and SEAD 3 – proactively preventing non-compliant actions before they occur. Comprehensive audit capabilities provide full transparency into each workflow, including a complete process history with user actions, timestamps, and field-level change tracking.

SIMS Workflow’s Employee Dashboard gives users quick access to initiate new requests, act on open tasks, and track the status of previously submitted requests, reducing follow-ups and keeping individuals informed at every step of the process. The client’s custom-configured workflows can be seamlessly integrated into their SIMS Employee Portal, giving employees streamlined, centralized access to digitally submit requests and reports.

All SIMS Workflow activity updates SIMS in real time, ensuring your organization’s system of record remains accurate and current, supporting decision-making, audit readiness, and reliable reporting.

SIMS Workflow enables easy cross-functional collaboration across the enterprise, supporting Security, HR, IT, Export/Trade Compliance, and other stakeholders as they participate in structured workflows that help maintain a compliant industrial security program.

With the SIMS Workflow Security Dashboard, security professionals have centralized, real-time visibility into workflow performance and workload, enabling proactive management of critical security processes. Teams can quickly monitor key performance indicators across all workflows, view open and closed requests by type, and track tasks assigned to individual users – all from one interface.

SIMS Workflow’s process timeline view shows how long tasks take at each step and by each participant, giving process owners the insight needed to proactively identify bottlenecks before they impact outcomes. This data also helps organizations optimize resource allocation and continuously refine security processes for greater efficiency, accountability, and predictability.

All SIMS Suite products are designed for rapid deployment and long‑term scalability, offering flexible hosting options to meet the needs of organizations of every size and security posture. Clients can deploy SIMS Workflow either self‑hosted or in the SIMS Cloud, depending on your IT resources, operational preferences, and compliance requirements.
