vCISO and Managed IT & Security for Defense Suppliers
vCISO
A part-time security leader who owns the plan: a written roadmap, your SSP and POA&M kept current, monthly working sessions and a status report for leadership, without a full-time hire.
Explore vCISO →Managed IT & Security
Business-hours care for your users, devices, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, patching and backups, run to a documented baseline so it supports your system security plan.
Explore Managed IT & Security →Both are scoped after a free consultation and quoted by written estimate. Because they are consulting and managed services, our separate C3PAO practice won’t do your certification assessment; you’d choose a different authorized C3PAO.

One team from design to a working, secure system.
Small manufacturers and DIB suppliers are connecting machines, robots, cloud tenants and AI tools faster than ever. Each new link is a business advantage and a new attack path, and stitching vendors together leaves gaps nobody owns.
We design the architecture, integrate the pieces, and secure them as we build: networks segmented correctly, OT kept apart from office IT, AI given clear data boundaries, and sensitive work placed in a secure enclave. We build and harden the systems we run, and we bring that same hands-on approach to yours.
