What we do

Five ways we keep you running and secure.

The whole environment, handled by one U.S.-based partner — from the way your remote team connects each morning to the frameworks your mission has to answer to.

Purpose-built for distributed teams

Remote Workforce Support

Most IT is built for an office with a server closet. We build for the way your people actually work — from home, on the road, across time zones — with secure access, managed devices, and collaboration that follows the person, not the building.

Secure, scalable, and right-sized

Cloud Infrastructure

Modern operations run in the cloud. We design, migrate, and manage Microsoft 365 and cloud environments — including government cloud where it's required — so your infrastructure scales with you and stays secure by default.

Governance and AI-assisted operations

AI Methodology

AI is entering every organization whether it's governed or not. We help you do it deliberately: AI process management and policy development so adoption is safe and compliant, plus AI-assisted IT — smarter alerting, monitoring, and continuous process improvement across your environment.

Real people, in the United States

U.S.-Based Support Teams

Every ticket, every migration, every security decision is handled by a U.S.-based team — a live help desk from 7am–7pm ET and 24/7 monitoring behind it. No overseas call centers, no handoffs to people who've never seen your environment.

One partner for every framework

Multi-Framework Compliance

Whatever rules your mission answers to — NIST 800-171/CMMC, HIPAA, GLBA, or ISO — we implement them as working controls, not binders. One accountable partner across every framework that applies to you.

Who we serve

Specialized for three kinds of mission.

Different organizations answer to different rules. We speak all three — and match the right frameworks and controls to yours.

Government Contractors

NIST 800-171 / CMMC

Defense and federal contractors facing flow-down security requirements. We take you from an unverified self-assessment to a defensible, assessment-ready NIST 800-171/CMMC program — then keep you certified.

Nonprofits

HIPAA · Donor & Client Data

Mission-driven organizations handling sensitive client, patient, or donor information — often with lean teams and tight budgets. We deliver enterprise-grade security and HIPAA-aligned practices scaled to what a nonprofit can actually run.

Startups

GLBA · ISO · Built to Scale

Early-stage and growing companies that need to look enterprise-ready to customers and investors. We build secure, scalable infrastructure and stand up GLBA, ISO, or SOC-style controls before a big customer or a funding round demands them.

The three practices

Three practices. One company.

Everything we deliver lives inside one of three interlocking practices: compliance keeps you secure and eligible, support keeps you running, and consulting keeps you ahead. Each makes the other two stronger.

For government contractors

The deadline paused. Your obligations didn't.

On July 13, 2026 the Department of Defense suspended CMMC Phase 2 — including the November 10, 2026 third-party certification deadline — effective immediately, pending a roughly 60-day reform review. Phases 3 and 4 are frozen with it. What did not pause: NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, DFARS 252.204-7012, Phase 1 self-assessments, SPRS scoring, and annual affirmations all remain in force. With independent assessment on hold, the compliance risk now rests on your own signature — and prime-contract flow-down obligations still bind.

NOV 2025

Phase 1 self-assessments take effect. CMMC requirements begin appearing in DoD solicitations, with contractors attesting to their own NIST SP 800-171 posture.

JUL 13, 2026

DoD suspends CMMC Phase 2. The November 10, 2026 third-party certification deadline is halted effective immediately, and a 60-day CMMC Reform Task Force review opens. Phases 3 and 4 and future milestones are frozen with it.

MID-SEP 2026

Task force recommendations expected. The review's output should make the program's direction — and any revised timeline — clearer.

ONGOING

Nothing lapsed. NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, DFARS 252.204-7012, SPRS scoring, and annual affirmations remain fully enforceable, and flow-down requirements keep reaching subcontractors.

Source: DoD/DoW suspension of CMMC Phase 2, announced July 13, 2026 — paused, not cancelled. Existing NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 obligations are unaffected.
