Federal & Defense

CMMC, FedRAMP, and GovRAMP readiness consulting for contractors and cloud providers, with gap assessments, control implementation, and assessment evidence.

THE WORK, IN CONTEXT

Federal & Defense, with a clear purpose.

Selling to the government means meeting a named standard and then proving it to an outside authority. We do the work before that day arrives. For each program we fix your boundary, whether that is a small enclave, your whole enterprise, or a cloud service, then run a gap assessment against the standard in force. We write the system security plan and remediation plan, build an evidence package an assessor can follow, close what is open, and rehearse the assessment so your people can speak to their own controls. The five focused services share one method and one principal: understand the requirement, find the gaps, build the controls, organize the evidence, and practice the review. Pick the one whose assessor you will face. Every engagement runs Scope, Assess, Report, and Validate, and because a CMMC Certified Assessor who prepares you cannot also judge you, we stay on the readiness side.

A GOOD FIT WHEN

Defense contractors whose contracts carry the government’s requirements to safeguard sensitive information and report incidents. Cloud service providers pursuing federal, state, local, or education authorization so they can sell to government customers. System owners building or renewing an authorization package for a federal system. Most arrive with a solicitation, a customer deadline, or a security score they need to raise.

THE WORK BEHIND THE SERVICE

What we do.
What you can use.

Start from the clause or the customer

We begin with the document that created the obligation: the cybersecurity requirement in your defense contract, the agency or state customer’s demand, or the memo that categorized your system. From it we fix the standard, the assessment type, the system boundary, and who will judge the result, then record all of it in a scoping memo before any control is reviewed.

Assess each requirement in the live system

We walk each requirement and control with the person who owns it and inspect the real configuration, not a questionnaire: how identities sign in, how devices are hardened, how the cloud is set up, how logs are kept, and how encryption is handled. Every gap is scored the way the program scores it, given an owner, and paired with a fix.

Hand over the package and rehearse the assessment

You keep a system security plan, a remediation plan, a policy set, and an evidence index organized the way the program expects, plus a readiness memo that says what is done, what is open, and what the assessor will ask. We run a mock assessment or dry run, retest the closed items, and date the evidence.
