Federal AI assurance & cybersecurity compliance

Primes bring us in when the solicitation puts real weight on AI governance.

An ATO, FedRAMP, logging maturity, or zero trust - and the team needs a cleared senior engineer who has already done that work in a federal environment. We take a defined work package, put a named principal on it, and we do not market to your customer.

Nine work areas we are brought in to own

AI governance and compliance

We support high-impact determinations, impact assessments, pre-deployment testing, monitoring plans, human oversight, appeal processes, and AI acquisition terms covering data rights and lock-in.

Aligns to
OMB M-25-21 / M-25-22

Secure AI architecture and deployment

Secure AI deployments with grounded RAG, citation enforcement, hallucination and bias controls, human validation, multi-agent orchestration, and walled-garden or air-gapped inference for CUI.

Aligns to
NIST AI RMF

Zero trust, identity, and privileged access

Zero trust architecture, segmentation, enterprise IAM and PAM, TIC 3.0-aligned design, and cloud security across Azure, GCP, and AWS.

Aligns to
OMB M-22-09

Authorization, FedRAMP, and continuous compliance

NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 control implementation, SSPs, POA&Ms, 3PAO evidence, FedRAMP Moderate/High sustainment, cATO enablement, and automated FISMA reporting.

Aligns to
FedRAMP · FISMA

Continuous monitoring, SIEM, and incident response

M-26-14 log coverage, SIEM and pipeline architecture, retention and searchability design, SOC enablement, threat intelligence integration, and incident response processes.

Aligns to
OMB M-26-14

CAASM, vulnerability, and OT/IoT visibility

Multi-tenant asset reconciliation, vulnerability management, ICS/SCADA and connected-device discovery, coverage metrics, and risk-based remediation prioritization.

Aligns to
CISA BOD 26-04 / 23-01

Endpoint security and virtual desktop modernization

Enterprise EDR migration, multi-tenant policy architecture, detection tuning, secure AVD and VMware Horizon design, STRIDE modeling, and endpoint baselines.

Aligns to
Zero trust device pillar

Network security and secure infrastructure

NGFW, micro-segmentation, SDN, TIC 3.0 patterns, directory services, data center and virtualization security, backed by expert IP/MPLS, BGP, IS-IS, and segment-routing engineering.

Aligns to
TIC 3.0

Security automation, test, and validation

Automated STIG/SCAP scanning, IaC and container security gates, baselines, audit files, Python control-validation harnesses, test labs, and security-stack health checks.

Aligns to
DoD STIG · cATO evidence
Also available

Additional ways we support primes and programs

cATO (Continuous ATO)

Continuous authorization evidence pipelines, control automation, and sustainment so authorizations keep pace with change instead of resetting every package cycle.

vCISO / vISSO

Fractional senior security leadership for programs that need ISSO or CISO coverage without a full-time hire - governance, risk posture, and briefings that hold up with stakeholders.

Proposal support

Competitive analysis, PWS gap analysis, solutioning, and technical demo support on teamed bids - usually at no cost when we are on the team.

Hiring

Help identifying and placing cleared senior talent for key-personnel slots, including resumes, commitment letters, and fit against solicitation labor categories.

Delivery posture

Cleared seniors, scoped packages, evidence that survives review

We staff the work that evaluators actually read - ATO packages, AI assurance, and zero-trust engineering - without ballooning the bid team.

Why primes bring us on

Six reasons we survive an evaluator's read

We have built federal AI systems.

Not slideware. Guardrails, grounding, citation enforcement, bias checks, and agentic asset enrichment - built, tested, and running in live federal environments.

We know what an evaluator marks down.

Our principals have written technical volumes and stood up in orals for federal cyber bids. We can write our own scope, map to your labor categories, and usually turn comments within 24 hours at no cost to the prime.

Cleared senior capacity.

Our lead principal holds an active Top Secret (DoD) clearance and is SCI-eligible. If your solicitation names a cleared senior security or AI architect, you can fill that slot without opening a recruiting cycle.

Depth at the network layer.

Two CCIEs and a JNCIE-SP between the principals, plus years designing and validating large IP/MPLS backbones.

Federal scale.

Our principals have delivered on DHS, CISA, DoD, DOE, and SEC programs, including security operations at multi-agency scale.

Senior ownership of the work.

The person you meet is the person doing the work. We keep the scope tight, use firm-fixed pricing when it makes sense, and take ownership of our piece of the subcontract.

Mission context

Built for the networks, mandates, and ops tempo of federal programs

From multi-agency security operations to backbone-scale IP/MPLS environments - our scope is written against the authorities agencies already live under.

Policy and mandate coverage

Written against the authorities agencies already live under

Executive orders, OMB memoranda, NIST frameworks, and CISA directives - cited in proposals and delivery, with links to the official sources.

  • Executive orders
  • OMB memoranda
  • NIST and frameworks
  • CISA directives and programs

If that is the gap on your team, tell us the scope.

We usually price by work package after a short no-cost scoping call, and can return proposal comments within 24 hours at no cost to the prime.
