Federal Compliance Services
Achieve ATO. Maintain Compliance. Secure Government Contracts.
Navigating the federal regulatory landscape is complex, but it is mandatory for agencies and contractors handling government data. We simplify the path to compliance. Our team provides end-to-end support for the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), ensuring your systems meet the rigorous standards required to operate within the federal ecosystem.
We handle the heavy lifting of documentation and controls so you can focus on your mission.
🔐 FISMA Implementation (Low/Mod/High)
One size does not fit all. We categorize your information systems based on FIPS 199 standards and implement the appropriate security controls (NIST SP 800-53) for Low, Moderate, and High impact baselines. We ensure your architecture is secure by design and compliant from day one.
✅ System Authorization (ATO) Support
The “Authority to Operate” (ATO) is your license to work. We guide you through the full Risk Management Framework (RMF) lifecycle – from categorization to authorization-streamlining the process to help you obtain and maintain your ATO with minimal friction.
📄 RMF Documentation (SSP, SAP, SAR, POA&M)
Federal compliance is documentation-intensive. We develop and maintain the critical artifacts auditors demand, including:
SSP: System Security Plan
SAP/SAR: Security Assessment Plans & Reports
POA&M: Plan of Action and Milestones for remediation
🔎 Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) & Audit Prep
Compliance doesn’t end with an ATO. We design robust Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) programs to track security controls in real-time. When OMB or agency auditors arrive, we provide the evidence, support, and audit readiness you need to pass with confidence.
Why Partner With Us?
We speak the language of NIST, FIPS, and OMB - so compliance is clear, actionable, and defensible.
We turn complex technical data into clear, compliant reports.
We are focused on getting you authorized and keeping you authorized.

General cybersecurity focuses on best practices to protect data, whereas FISMA is a federal law that mandates specific, documented processes for government information. FISMA requires strict adherence to NIST SP 800-53 controls, a formal authorization process (ATO), and rigorous reporting that goes far beyond standard commercial security measures.
No. An ATO is usually valid for a specific period (often 3 years), but it requires Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) to remain active. You must demonstrate that security controls are still effective as your system changes. We help you manage this ongoing phase to ensure your ATO isn’t revoked during annual reviews or surprise audits.
Absolutely. The Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is a “living document” that tracks known security weaknesses. Auditors look at this closely to see if you are making progress. We assist in remediating these vulnerabilities, providing the technical evidence needed to mark items as “Closed” and reducing your overall risk profile.
