Gap Assessment & Compliance Readiness
Accelerate your path to authorization with our fixed-price, 10-week gap assessment that focuses on the 66 critical controls and 18 showstoppers that determine ATO success. We deliver a comprehensive 150-200+ page roadmap detailing exactly what you need to achieve FedRAMP, CMMC, DOD IL4/IL5, FISMA/RMF, GovRAMP, or TexRAMP compliance—without requiring you to create any documentation upfront. Our assessment methodology has a 95% conversion rate to full advisory engagement because we identify real gaps with engineering precision, not checkbox audits.
Advisory Services & ATO Package Development
End-to-end advisory services for cloud service providers and federal contractors pursuing authorization across any NIST-based cybersecurity framework. Our fixed-price engagement delivers 100% custom documentation including System Security Plans (SSP), Authorization Boundary Diagrams (ABD), policies, procedures, and OSCAL-formatted control implementation statements covering all FedRAMP controls. We don't use templates. We architect, document, and deliver packages so technically precise that 3PAOs routinely reduce assessment time and costs for our clients.
bladeRAMP® Managed Compliance as a Service
A fully managed, turnkey platform that deploys and operates your entire compliance infrastructure within your environment. bladeRAMP includes in-boundary security services, automated evidence collection pipelines, continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, log aggregation, SIEM integration, and 24/7 security operations—all configured to meet FedRAMP High, Moderate, and Low baselines as well as DOD Impact Level 4, 5, and 6 requirements. You maintain control of your infrastructure and intellectual property while we handle the continuous validation that keeps you audit-ready. This isn't consulting that leaves you with recommendations—this is a security stack we build, own, and operate.
FedRAMP 20x Readiness & Evidence Automation
Purpose-built services for the next generation of federal compliance. Our FedRAMP 20x offerings include comprehensive readiness assessments that map your architecture against Key Security Indicators (KSIs), Trust Repository design and implementation with machine-readable data schemas, KSI-aligned cloud architecture design using immutable infrastructure and zero-trust principles, and continuous evidence automation architecture that generates daily validation without manual intervention. We translate complex 20x standards into efficient, elegant engineering solutions that make compliance a feature, not a blocker.
Mission-Ready Cloud Architecture & Landing Zones
Pre-engineered, ATO-ready cloud landing zones designed for rapid deployment of compliant workloads in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. Our landing zones embed security standards including CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs, NIST 800-53 controls, and FIPS 140 validated cryptography. Architectures support use cases including secure research environments, healthcare data platforms, records management systems, eDiscovery infrastructure, partner and transit data zones, as well as collaboration and communication workloads. Built with in-boundary security services, zero-trust networking, and automated configuration management to dramatically reduce cloud modernization timelines.
Technical Implementation & Engineering Services
Hands-on engineering teams that don't just advise—we implement. From designing and deploying zero-trust architectures to building automated evidence collection pipelines, implementing boundary protection systems, configuring end-to-end encryption, deploying data loss prevention (DLP) controls, and integrating identity-driven security across multi-cloud environments. Our engineers embed with your DevOps and SecOps teams to build the technical infrastructure that makes continuous compliance sustainable without exhausting your development resources
Secure Research Environments
Specialized cloud-native environments for federal agencies, academic institutions, and research organizations conducting sensitive research. We architect compliant platforms that meet NIST 800-171, FISMA, and other stringent federal requirements while enabling researchers to move fast. Designed for environments handling controlled unclassified information (CUI), protected health information (PHI), and other sensitive data requiring strong boundary controls and audit trails.
Assessment Support & ATO Maintenance
Comprehensive support through the 3PAO assessment process and post-ATO continuous monitoring. We manage evidence upload and allocation, support all stakeholder interviews, coordinate with FedRAMP PMO and agency sponsors, and ensure your security posture remains compliant through operational changes. Fixed-price engagement that keeps us on your side of the table from assessment kickoff through ATO issuance and beyond.
DOD, CMMC & Defense Contractor Services
Specialized advisory and implementation services for defense contractors and DOD mission partners pursuing CMMC Level 2 and 3 certification, DOD Impact Level 4, 5, and 6 authorization, and NIST 800-171/172 compliance. We architect defense-grade infrastructure capable of operating in air-gapped deployments and highly classified environments, with expertise in boundary protection, data sovereignty requirements, and the unique security controls demanded by the defense industrial base.
FISMA/RMF, GovRAMP, TexRAMP & NIST Framework Services
Full-spectrum consulting and advisory services for federal agencies and state/local government entities pursuing Risk Management Framework (RMF) authorization, StateRAMP or TexRAMP compliance, and implementation of NIST cybersecurity frameworks including SP 800-53, 800-171, and the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). We provide architecture design, continuous monitoring strategies, and compliance documentation that meets the specific requirements of federal civilian agencies, state governments, and regulated industries including healthcare (HIPAA), finance, and critical infrastructure.
