Federal Cybersecurity
Mission-system protection programs
Federal mission systems carry threat models that commercial frameworks do not address. We design assessment, vulnerability management, and incident response programs that meet CISA, agency CIO, and IG expectations.
Federal cybersecurity is the intersection of NIST 800-53, agency policy, and CISA directives. We work the seam between all three so your program does not pass a NIST audit and fail a BOD review.
What you walk away with
Run security assessments that hold up to oversight
SA&A, vulnerability assessments, and pen tests scoped to your authorization boundary and reported in the format your AO and IG expect.
Respond to incidents on the timelines CISA requires
Incident response plans tested against CISA Binding Operational Directives and the reporting clocks they impose.
Operate a security program your IG signs off on
A FISMA-aligned security operations program with the metrics, evidence, and governance trail your annual IG review needs to see.
Inside a Federal Cybersecurity engagement
- Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A)
- Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing
- Incident response plan development and tabletop exercises
- CISA Binding Operational Directive (BOD) compliance
- Security operations program design and KPIs
What we work against
How We Engage
Three paths into the work, sequenced to where you are in the acquisition cycle.
Subcontracting
We sit on your prime's contract as a compliance subcontractor. Bring us in for assessment, documentation, or audit support without standing up a new vehicle.
Teaming
Joint ventures and teaming agreements with primes that need a CPA + CISSP combination on the bid. Our credentials fill the compliance gap your team does not staff in-house.
Direct
Direct engagements through GSA MAS and 8(a) Direct Award (FY26 target). We take the contract, you get the work.

Anonymized work, on request
Anonymized engagement profiles are available on request, pending NDA review. Profiles describe challenge, approach, and outcome without contract numbers, agency names, or dollar values, in line with standard professional services practice.

Building or refreshing a federal security program?
A scoping call covers your authorization landscape, your incident reporting obligations, and your IG cycle. We can outline a 12-month program plan in one conversation.
