Security & Compliance

C3PAO-assessed Azure GCC High environment (enclaveone.us, via Ariento Corp.). 110+ NIST SP 800-171 controls implemented and evidenced. Audit-ready evidence repositories maintained alongside engineering artifacts.

Full control set implemented, evidenced, and version-controlled. System Security Plan (SSP) maintained as a living document. Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) actively managed against open action items.

Controlled Unclassified Information handled within the GCC High boundary — marking, storage, transmission, and disposal aligned to DoD standards and 32 CFR Part 2002 CUI program requirements. Export-controlled (ITAR) policies, procedures, and controls implemented per 22 CFR 120-130 in the same enclave; first ITAR-covered engagement required for certification to handle ITAR data.

17 CMMC Level 1 practices self-assessed on the on-premise path for non-CUI workloads. Three-enclave posture (on-premise, Azure Commercial, Azure GCC High) — workload classification drives enclave placement.

Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management posture established. DFARS 252.204-7012 flow-down to subcontractors, cyber incident reporting aligned to the DoD reporting portal, and software supply-chain attestation practices.

STRIDE methodology integrated into design reviews. Threat-enumeration artifacts maintained alongside architecture artifacts so every design decision carries its threat context forward into implementation.

Identity-based access, micro-segmentation, least-privilege authorization, and continuous authentication across multi-enclave deployments. Zero-trust principles applied consistently across Azure Commercial, Azure GCC High, and on-premise environments.

Security gates enforced in CI/CD: SAST (Semgrep + Bandit), DAST, SCA (pip-audit + Dependabot), container scanning (Trivy, 32 images), and NDAA-889 covered-entity screen are required status checks on main — blocking before merge; 30,000+ automated tests gate every release. Secrets management via managed vaults, not repository-embedded.

Secure coding standards enforced in code review. Security training for engineering staff. Incident response drills run on cadence, not only after incidents. NIST SP 800-218 SSDF — task groups PS, PW, RV, and PO implemented per stack; all four CISA Common Form Requirement Areas at engineering readiness; SBOM (CycloneDX) + cosign + SLSA build-provenance (Azure build path); vulnerability disclosures acknowledged 24–48h, remediated on published severity-based SLA (critical 24–72h; high 7 days); SCRM aligned to NIST SP 800-161.

CISA Common Form SSDF attestation — all four Requirement Areas at engineering readiness; CO-facing conformance statement prepared; Form signed and submitted on award (EO 14028 §4(g); OMB M-22-18 / M-23-16).

Role-based and attribute-based access controls (RBAC and ABAC), least-privilege enforcement, privileged-access workflow governance, and audit logging of access events aligned to NIST SP 800-63 digital identity guidelines.

Defined processes and tailored implementations in use across the engineering organization. Process discipline aligned to CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 3 practices internally. External appraisal scheduled to target Q3 2026 — roadmap covers appraisal sponsor selection, readiness review, and SCAMPI A appraisal.

Quality Management System implemented per ISO 9001:2015 internally. Process documentation, management review rhythm, internal audit cadence, and customer feedback loops established. External certification audit scheduled to target Q4 2026 — roadmap covers registrar selection, stage-one documentation review, and stage-two on-site audit.

Every capability claim traces to production code, a test suite, a compliance certification, or a past-performance narrative. Evidence is generated as a byproduct of operations.

CAPA discipline integrated into operational rhythm. Post-incident reviews, process-metric analysis, and management-review action items tracked to closure with evidence.

Quarterly management review, annual quality objective cascade, and improvement-initiative tracking. Quality posture that demonstrably gets better over time — and the evidence to show it.

Version-controlled evidence repositories mapped to CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, DCAA, and program-specific control catalogs. Evidence available on request, timestamped, and traceable to the practice or control it supports.

Control-effectiveness telemetry integrated with the engineering observability stack. Controls monitored continuously through OpenTelemetry-backed dashboards that surface control health alongside operational metrics.

Monthly compliance digests, quarterly control-effectiveness summaries, and annual audit-support packages. Reports formatted for program-office, accreditor, and executive consumption — each audience getting what it needs.

Named points-of-contact for C3PAO, DCAA, and accreditor engagements. Pre-assessment readiness reviews. Response windows scoped in weeks, not quarters — assessor-facing posture built into the ongoing operational rhythm.

Open posture reporting to program offices — including open POA&M items, control deviations, and remediation status. Assessor-friendly transparency built into the reporting cadence.
