Who we serve
From a founder's first enclave to an agency's authorization program, the counterparties change — assessors, primes, boards, contracting officers, investors — but the discipline doesn't: every assertion supportable, every boundary defensible. Find where you are.
Client group 01
Build federal readiness into the company before compliance becomes an emergency.
Pre-seed → growth · SBIR/STTR · Agency pilots · Prime teaming
DocumentationYou're building technology with both commercial and government futures — often out of a lab, an accelerator, or a Series A. Commercial and federal environments can't be separated yet, source code lives in ungoverned systems, and no one can say which data will become FCI or CUI. We help you see future requirements clearly, protect the R&D that is the company, and design boundaries that scale — without overbuilding too early.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
Founders are spending prematurely on CMMC or FedRAMP · An investor or prime found security deficiencies · A pilot can't transition to production · No one can explain the security boundary.
Client group 02
Move from federally funded research to operational deployment without rebuilding security from the ground up.
SBIR I/II/III · STTR · OTAs · Federal labs · University partners
DocumentationFederal funding brings federal information — and obligations that arrive mid-research. A prototype goes cloud-connected, a prime flows requirements down, technical data starts arriving, and suddenly the company must demonstrate an operating security program. We align security milestones with financing and commercialization, so the transition to production and direct contracting builds on what you have instead of starting over.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
The company starts receiving technical information · A prototype becomes cloud-connected · Prime-contractor requirements emerge · Security milestones don't match the financing plan.
Client group 03
Turn a commercially successful cloud product into a federally usable and continuously defensible service.
Agency pilots · FedRAMP 20x decision · Prime integrations · Federal editions
DocumentationAn agency loves the product — then someone asks whether it's FedRAMP authorized, and the deal stalls. We size the federal opportunity honestly (cost, architecture, pathway, schedule), define the certification boundary, choose between shared and separate federal deployments, and build evidence that regenerates itself as the product ships — so authorization keeps pace with the roadmap instead of fighting it.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
An agency asks if the product is FedRAMP certified · A pilot is moving to production · Investors need realistic cost and schedule · Evidence is static and engineering doesn't own it.
Client group 04
Protect contract eligibility by making every cybersecurity assertion supportable.
DIB entry · Covered contracts · Enclaves · Affirmations · M&A
DocumentationYou perform or pursue defense work, and the requirements arrive by contract clause: FCI, CUI, DFARS, CMMC, SPRS. Generic documents don't survive contact with an assessor — or a prime's supplier diligence. We map what you actually hold, draw the boundary (enclave or enterprise-wide), and build the SSP, POA&M, and operating evidence an examination can pull on — so the score you report is the score you can defend.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
A solicitation includes CMMC · A prime requests 800-171 evidence · An SPRS score can't be supported · A merger, new facility, or production line changes the boundary.
Client group 05
Connect federal cyber obligations to enterprise risk, supplier resilience, investment, and executive accountability.
Multi-division CMMC · Supplier networks · M&A · Board governance
DocumentationAt enterprise scale the problem isn't one framework — it's coherence. CMMC maturity varies by division, supplier readiness is uneven, acquisitions bring unknown CUI exposure, and the board lacks visibility into federal obligations. We connect CMMC, FedRAMP, RMF, zero trust, and enterprise risk into one governed portfolio — with executive assertions on top that are actually supported.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
Divisions tell different CMMC stories · An affirmation is poorly supported · An acquisition brings unknown CUI · High-consequence scenarios have never been rehearsed.
Client group 06
Strengthen the decisions, evidence, and operating discipline behind federal cybersecurity and mission assurance.
ATOs · Cloud adoption · Zero trust · ConMon · Acquisition security
DocumentationAdoption, authorization, modernization, oversight — agency security organizations carry all four at once, while legacy systems and leadership transitions complicate every one of them. We support the decisions underneath: authorization strategy, vendor-package review, zero-trust operationalization, continuous-monitoring design, and the acquisition and supplier requirements that make contractor cybersecurity governable.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
A new cloud product must be adopted · Vendor evidence must be evaluated · Zero trust must move from memo to operation · Contractor risk needs real governance.
Client group 07
Identify federal cybersecurity barriers before they reduce valuation, delay deployment, or consume growth capital.
Diligence · Portfolio screening · 100-day plans · Cohort programs
DocumentationPortfolio companies underestimate federal cybersecurity costs. Founders claim CMMC compliance without evidence; FedRAMP appears in revenue forecasts with no architecture, pathway, or capital plan behind it. We give investors the technical read — which findings are remediable gaps and which are product-architecture problems — plus the reserve math, and portfolio programs that stop the same security debt from recurring deal after deal.
What we do for you
Assurance focus
You call us when
Security debt surfaces late in diligence · Federal projections lack security costs and schedule · The same gaps keep repeating across the portfolio.
