What we do
- NIST 800-53 control implementation — mapping controls to code, infrastructure, and operations; generating traceable evidence continuously.
- STIG-hardened base images — Ubuntu, RHEL, Windows Server images DISA-compliant out of the box, scanned with OpenSCAP, tracked with drift detection.
- CI/CD with security gates — SAST (Semgrep, CodeQL), DAST (ZAP), SCA (Trivy, Grype), secrets detection (trufflehog), license scanning.
- SBOM generation & supply chain — Syft-generated CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs, Cosign-signed container images, SLSA provenance attestations.
- Vulnerability management — integrated POA&M workflow, automated ticket creation, SLA tracking, risk-based prioritization.
- Zero-trust architecture — identity-based access, mTLS via service mesh, workload identity with SPIFFE, least-privilege IAM.
- Incident response readiness — logging strategy, SIEM integration (Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic), tabletop exercises.
ATO acceleration playbook
Federal ATOs stall for predictable reasons. Here's how we prevent each one:
- Late documentation — we generate SSP sections, POA&M templates, and control narratives continuously from source.
- Unclear inheritance — explicit inheritance maps from FedRAMP-authorized cloud providers to your application.
- Surprise scan findings — Trivy, Grype, OpenSCAP run on every PR, not at assessment time.
- Weak boundary diagrams — boundary diagrams generated from Terraform state, always current.
- Missing evidence — evidence collection automated: screenshots, config dumps, audit logs archived on schedule.
Frameworks we work in
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 — Low, Moderate, High baselines.
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, Govern.
- FedRAMP — operating on authorized foundations; not a 3PAO.
- DoD Cloud Computing SRG — IL2, IL4, IL5 deployments.
- DISA STIGs — for OS, container, web server, database hardening.
- CMMC 2.0 — for DIB contractors needing Level 2.
- NIST SP 800-171 — CUI handling in non-federal systems.
