Federal

As the Federal government works to improve the nation’s cybersecurity, companies with lucrative agency contracts face increasingly stringent compliance requirements. The assurance requirements that began with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) working to mitigate supply chain risks within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) will likely be applied to organizations contracting with Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies under the National Cybersecurity Strategy.

We can help you develop cost-effective cyber resilient systems that support the zero-trust strategy needed to maintain your government contract.

Identify and Assess Risks to Covered Information  

As compliance mandates for FCEB supply chain and DIB migrate closer to one another, organizations seeking to contract with agencies need to identify and assess risk to Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). In complex digital ecosystems, many organizations lack the human and technology resources necessary to classify, identify, and assess risk to protected information.

 

With our vCISO services and SingularREADY™ solution, you can identify risks to protected information and implement the security controls that mitigate them. Our comprehensive portfolio of services and technologies enables you to: 

  • Define risk management objectives and establish controls
  • Identify and measure risk with an easy-to-use risk register and risk matrix
  • Create an asset inventory for all devices connected to managed networks and subnetworks
  • Engage in a gap assessment to identify security vulnerabilities and missing controls
  • Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to strengthen Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Build a customized cybersecurity technology stack for a defense-in-depth strategy across identity, network, endpoint, application, and data security risks

Continuously Monitor and Document Control Effectiveness  

As the Federal government modernizes its IT infrastructure, its supply chain partners will also need to update their systems. In these dynamic cloud-based environments, organizations must implement continuous risk and control monitoring to maintain their security posture.

 

Leveraging our end-to-end solution, you can accelerate your zero-trust strategies with services and automation to:

  • Continuously monitor across key security control categories
  • Implement a robust Privileged Access Management (PAM)
  • Set baseline endpoint configurations and scan for vulnerabilities
  • Leverage an Endpoint Detect and Response (EDR) solution for real-time security alerts
  • Protect web applications with web proxies and Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
  • Provide security awareness training
  • Work with a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) that engages in threat hunting, responds to alerts, assesses severity, prioritizes remediation, analyzes forensics, and provides post-incident evaluation
