Recommended solutions for federal contractors
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Managed detection and response pairs security technology with human analysts who watch for threats around the clock and act to contain them.
Security Operations Center and SIEM
A managed security operations center with security information and event management collects logs from across your environment and investigates alerts for you.
Zero Trust Network Access
Zero trust network access replaces broad VPN access with identity-based, per-application access that is verified continuously.
Private and Hybrid Cloud
Private and hybrid cloud infrastructure as a service provides dedicated or virtualized compute, storage and networking managed in a provider's data centers.
Compliance and vCISO Services
Compliance and virtual chief information security officer services provide the strategy, policies, risk assessments and audit preparation that technology alone cannot.
Dedicated Internet Access
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
Compliance and regulatory considerations
Technology decisions in this sector are commonly shaped by CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, DFARS and FedRAMP. We help you shortlist providers whose attestations, contract terms and service designs support those obligations, and we coordinate the documentation your auditors, insurers or customers request. Your own legal and compliance advisors remain the authority on what applies to your organization.
