Three integrated practice areas — cybersecurity, AI advisory, and data governance — built for government agencies, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and regulated organizations.
Attackers don't wait for your program to mature — and neither do regulators. Our cybersecurity practice pairs executive-level leadership with hands-on technical services so you can identify what matters, protect it in depth, prove compliance, and respond decisively when it counts. Every engagement is grounded in real-world experience protecting public sector, DoD, infrastructure, and healthcare environments.
Most organizations don't need a full-time CISO — they need the right one, part-time. Our fractional CISO service embeds a seasoned security executive into your leadership team who owns strategy, governance, and risk, and who speaks the language of your board, your auditors, and your engineers alike.
Unlike a staff hire, you get a leader who has already built and run programs across multiple regulated environments — bringing patterns that work, and the scar tissue to know what doesn't.
Organizations without a dedicated security executive, agencies preparing for modernization initiatives, and leadership teams that need credible security representation with boards, regulators, and oversight bodies.
Compliance isn't security — but a well-built GRC program makes both achievable. We help you move from scattered spreadsheets and stale policies to a living program: risks identified and owned, controls mapped to the frameworks that matter, and evidence ready before the auditor asks.
We right-size everything to your organization. A 50-person agency doesn't need an enterprise GRC platform — it needs clear priorities, defensible documentation, and a repeatable process.
Organizations facing new regulatory requirements, preparing for audits, or maturing from ad-hoc security practices into a managed, measurable program.
If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in the defense supply chain, CMMC Level 2 is now a condition of doing business with the DoD. The 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 are unforgiving, and assessment day is not the time to discover gaps. As a Registered Provider Organization, we've been on the implementation side of DoD cybersecurity frameworks — and we know what assessors look for.
Defense contractors and subcontractors at any stage — from "we just saw the DFARS clause in our contract" to "our assessment is scheduled and we need a final readiness check."
Note: As an RPO, we provide consulting and assessment preparation services. Formal CMMC certification is conducted by an independent C3PAO — and we'll make sure you're ready for it.
Every organization will face a security incident. The difference between a contained event and a front-page crisis is decided long before the alert fires — in the plans you wrote, the roles you assigned, and the muscle memory your team built. Incident response readiness is our founding practice area, refined across state and local government, infrastructure, and healthcare environments.
Any organization whose IR plan is untested, outdated, or living only in someone's head — and agencies with regulatory notification obligations measured in hours, not weeks.
A plan that's never been exercised is a hypothesis. Our facilitated tabletop exercises put your people — technical teams and executives alike — through realistic scenarios built around your actual environment, threat landscape, and obligations. Participants leave knowing exactly what they'd do, who they'd call, and where the plan breaks down.
Organizations that have plans on paper but haven't stress-tested them, and leadership teams who have never rehearsed a cyber crisis together.
Vulnerability scanners tell you what might be exploitable. Penetration testing tells you what actually is. Our testing emulates real-world adversary behavior — chaining weaknesses the way attackers do — then translates findings into risk-ranked, actionable remediation guidance rather than a 200-page tool export.
Organizations with compliance-driven testing requirements (CMMC, HIPAA, cyber insurance) and any team that wants ground truth about its defenses — not just scan output.
The average attacker dwells in a network for weeks before detection. Threat hunting flips the model: instead of waiting for an alert, we assume compromise and go looking for evidence. Hunts are hypothesis-driven, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and designed to leave your detection capability permanently stronger.
Organizations that suspect (or want to disprove) existing compromise, teams following a merger or major infrastructure change, and security programs ready to move from reactive to proactive.
Some of the most damaging breaches of the last decade started at a vendor. Every supplier with access to your systems or data extends your attack surface — yet most third-party risk programs are a stack of unread questionnaires. We build programs that actually reduce risk: tiered by criticality, contractually enforceable, and continuously monitored.
Agencies and regulated organizations with growing vendor ecosystems, cloud migrations underway, or compliance frameworks (CMMC, HIPAA) that explicitly require supply chain risk management.
No single control stops every attack — resilience comes from layers that assume each one can fail. We assess your defenses across identity, endpoint, network, data, and cloud, find the gaps and the redundant spend, and architect a layered strategy aligned to your actual risk and budget rather than vendor marketing.
Organizations modernizing legacy environments, moving to cloud, or looking to get more protection from the security budget they already have.
AI is already inside your organization — whether you've sanctioned it or not. Staff are pasting data into chatbots, vendors are embedding AI into the tools you already own, and oversight bodies are drafting rules faster than most agencies can read them. Our AI practice helps you capture the value of AI while managing the risk: clear governance, defensible risk assessments, and adoption roadmaps built for regulated and public-sector environments.
The first question every leadership team asks is "should we allow AI?" The better question is "under what conditions?" We help you answer it with governance that enables safe use instead of driving it underground — because a blanket ban just creates shadow AI you can't see.
Agencies and regulated organizations that need to say something official about AI — and want that policy to be enforceable, practical, and defensible to oversight bodies.
Every AI system carries risks that traditional security assessments miss: training data exposure, prompt injection, model bias, hallucinated outputs driving real decisions, and vendors with opaque data practices. We assess AI systems — built, bought, or embedded — against a structured framework so you understand the risk before it becomes an incident or a headline.
Organizations deploying AI in consequential workflows — eligibility decisions, constituent services, clinical or financial processes — and any team asked by leadership, "how risky is this, really?"
Governance tells you the guardrails; adoption is how you actually move. We help you go from pilot chaos to a deliberate roadmap — identifying the use cases with real return, sequencing them by risk and readiness, and preparing your workforce and data so AI initiatives succeed instead of stalling.
Leadership teams under pressure to "do something with AI" who want measurable results without regulatory, security, or reputational surprises.
Data is the foundation everything else stands on: you can't protect data you haven't classified, comply with retention rules you haven't defined, or trust AI trained on data no one governs. Our data governance practice turns "data everywhere, ownership nowhere" into a managed asset — with the classification, policy, and stewardship structures that security, compliance, and AI initiatives all depend on.
Most data problems are ownership problems. Nobody knows who's accountable for a dataset, so quality erodes, copies multiply, and risk accumulates silently. We design governance frameworks that fix the accountability gap — right-sized to your organization, not lifted from an enterprise playbook you'll never staff.
Organizations drowning in unmanaged data, planning modernization or AI initiatives, or facing audit findings about data handling.
Classification is where data governance meets security. Until data is classified, every protection decision is a guess — you either over-protect everything (and pay for it) or under-protect the crown jewels (and pay much more). We build classification schemes people actually follow, then tie them to concrete handling and protection controls.
Organizations handling CUI, PHI, or constituent PII; teams preparing for CMMC or HIPAA scrutiny; and anyone who suspects sensitive data has sprawled beyond its intended boundaries.
Data you no longer need is pure liability — it can be breached, subpoenaed, and requested, but it can't help you. We build lifecycle and retention programs that keep what your mission and records laws require, defensibly dispose of what they don't, and honor the privacy obligations that come with holding other people's information.
Public agencies balancing records retention with privacy obligations, healthcare and regulated organizations, and any team holding years of data "just in case."
Most engagements begin with a short conversation and a rapid assessment. Reach out and we'll help you prioritize.
