New to government contracting?
The GovCon Starter Kit is the single resource we wish we had when we started. Built by a CPA + CISSP + CISA team that has done the work, not just written about it. Free, forever.
Federal contractor or agency program manager?
FISMA, CMMC, DCAA, FedRAMP, Zero Trust, and NIST AI RMF, organized by buyer. Five practice areas built for contractors, four built for federal agencies, one CPA + CISSP + CISA practice behind all of them.
Open the kit and you will see what you are getting before we ask for an email.
Every guide is free. When you need hands-on help, we consult on the same frameworks we write about.
SAM registration, UEI, NAICS codes
Authorization to Operate, NIST 800-53
NIST 800-171, C3PAO assessment
Audit readiness, indirect rates, CAS
Winning bids, cap statements, teaming
