Defensible cyber,
before the audit.

We help GovCon and Defense Industrial Base teams clean up RMF / ATO packages, get audit-ready for CMMC, and ship the kind of evidence an Authorizing Official will actually accept — without burning a year of program runway.

Working with operators across
  • U.S. Army
  • U.S. Navy
  • U.S. Air Force
  • U.S. Coast Guard
  • Air National Guard

Three problems we exist to solve.

Cyber compliance in the federal space rewards the prepared and punishes ambiguity. We come in early, work alongside your ISSO and program team, and leave behind packages that hold up under independent assessment.

01 · CMMC

CMMC 2.0 Readiness

Gap analysis against Level 1 and Level 2 controls. Practice-by-practice evidence buildouts. Mock C3PAO assessments so the real one is uneventful.

  • NIST SP 800-171 gap analysis
  • System Security Plan authoring
  • Practice evidence collection
  • Mock assessment + remediation
03 · GovCon Cyber

GovCon Cyber Hygiene

Standing-cyber posture for contractors who can't afford a finding to lose a recompete. Continuous monitoring scaffolding, incident response plans, and audit-ready logs.

  • NIST 800-171 implementation
  • Incident Response Plan authoring
  • Continuous monitoring scaffolding
  • Subcontractor flow-down reviews
AEGIS · RMF Command Center

Your RMF authorization,
in months, not years.

AEGIS is the Bronze Shield platform for end-to-end RMF authorization. Nine specialized agents draft artifacts grounded in NIST publications; your team reviews, edits, and signs off. The output is a complete package the AO can defend — SSP, SAR, POA&M, FedRAMP appendices, all traced to source.

  • −67% time to ATO — 12–18 months collapses to 4–6.
  • 9 specialized AI agents with a Reviewer guardrail blocking publication on hallucination, prompt-injection, PII, or invalid control IDs.
  • End-to-end traceability — controls → CCIs → STIG checks → findings → POA&M, audit-logged across every revision.
  • On-prem deployment — IL4 / IL5 capable. Sensitive workloads stay inside your boundary.

Authorization, accelerated.

CLICK INTO AEGIS TO SEE THE FULL PRODUCT TOUR — THE 9 AGENTS, TIME-COMPRESSION OUTCOMES.

Four steps. No surprises at the AO.

We treat each engagement as an authorization sprint. Predictable phases, defined exits, and your team owns the artifacts at the end.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Two-week scoping: boundary, categorization, current artifacts, finding inventory. Output is a defensible plan with a fixed price and a fixed timeline.

    Output Scope brief · gap matrix · fixed-price proposal
  2. 02

    Instrument

    Stand up the workspace — AEGIS or your existing toolchain. Ingest STIGs, scans, system docs, eMASS exports. Wire traceability between controls, CCIs, checks, and findings.

    Output Working data layer · live posture dashboard · clean finding feed
  3. 03

    Authorize

    Draft SSP, SAR, and POA&M with your ISSO embedded. AI assists the first pass; the human reviews every line before it lands in the AO package. Reviewer guardrails block bad output at publication time.

    Output AO-grade SSP · SAR · POA&M · FedRAMP appendices A–Q
  4. 04

    Monitor

    Continuous monitoring scaffold, drift detection, scheduled reauthorization checkpoints. The package stays alive between assessments instead of going stale on a SharePoint.

    Output ConMon plan · drift alerts · quarterly posture briefing
