Enterprise AI, cloud modernization, cybersecurity and platform engineering.
Government & Public Sector

Secure digital services for public-sector programs.

Public entities need citizen-facing services that are secure, governed and dependable. We deliver policy-driven cloud environments, NIST-aligned security and phased modernization that fits procurement and governance realities.

Industry challenges

What makes public-sector programs hard to modernize.

Data Residency and classification

Citizen and government data needs clear classification and US-region controls before it can move anywhere.

Legacy systems and siloed data

Agency systems built at different times rarely share data cleanly, slowing case work and reporting.

Strict audit and procurement cycles

Every change has to survive formal audit and procurement processes, not just a technical review.

Skills gaps for operating modern platforms

In-house teams inherit modern platforms without always having the skills to run them independently.

Regulatory & compliance landscape

The frameworks this industry is measured against.

Framework What it requires How we address it
FedRAMP / StateRAMP Authorized cloud services and continuous monitoring for federal, state and local workloads. GovCloud / Azure Government landing zones, ATO evidence packages.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 Security and privacy controls for federal information systems. Control mapping, policy as code, continuous evidence.
NIST CSF 2.0 A risk-based cybersecurity baseline across govern, identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. Control mapping, hardening, continuous evidence.
CJIS Security Policy Protection of criminal justice information, including advanced authentication and audit. Identity hardening, encryption, access logging.
Privacy Act / NIST Privacy Framework Lawful handling of constituent personal data and privacy risk management. Data governance model, classification tagging.
Section 508 / 21st Century IDEA Accessible, modern, mobile-friendly digital public services. API-first integration, accessible service design.
Solutions for this industry

Where we typically start in the public sector.

Focus areas: policy as code, operational visibility, FedRAMP and NIST SP 800-53-aligned data protection, and phased modernization that fits agency mission timelines.

Cloud Modernization

Governed landing zones and phased migration that respect procurement and continuity constraints.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

Controls and evidence mapped directly to NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST SP 800-53, not a generic checklist.

Data & Analytics

Governed data platforms that make inter-agency reporting and data sharing possible without a free-for-all.

AI Transformation

Governed AI for document and citizen-request processing, with full accountability for every action.

Platform Engineering

Repeatable, policy-compliant environments so in-house teams can extend platforms after handover.

Managed Operations

Ongoing operations and knowledge transfer so platforms stay healthy after the project team leaves.
Use cases

Use cases we deliver in the public sector.

Governed landing zones

Governed, US-region cloud foundations built for public-sector data residency needs.

Citizen service portals

Citizen-facing portals with strong identity verification and accessibility.

Inter-agency data sharing

Controlled, auditable data exchange between agencies and departments.

Data governance & classification

Classification and governance models aligned to NIST Privacy Framework standards.

AI for document processing

AI for document and citizen-request processing with human oversight.

Knowledge transfer to in-house teams

Structured handover so government teams can operate what was built.

Reference architecture

How data and access typically flow.

Citizens and staff reach portals through identity-verified access; an integration layer connects agency systems and inter-agency data sharing; data lands in a governed, US-region platform; security monitoring and audit logging span every layer.

Delivery approach

Structured around procurement and continuity, not rip-and-replace.

Each phase leaves a working, documented piece of the platform, sized to fit governance and procurement cycles.

  1. Map current systems, data classification gaps and the specific FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53 and CJIS scope in play.

    • Systems & data-classification map
    • Regulatory scope summary
    Typical duration: 2-4 weeks

  2. Design governed landing zones, identity and data governance sized to agency requirements.

    • Landing zone design
    • Data governance model
    Typical duration: 3-5 weeks

  3. Build the foundation as policy-as-code, then modernize in phases that respect procurement cycles.

    • Policy-as-code foundation
    • Phased modernization plan
    Typical duration: 8-16 weeks

  4. Run control-evidence checks and access reviews before formal audit or go-live sign-off.

    • Control evidence pack
    • Access review report
    Typical duration: 2-3 weeks

  5. Hand over documentation, runbooks and training so in-house teams can operate independently.

    • Documentation & runbooks
    • In-house team training
    Typical duration: Ongoing

What we measure

Indicators that show whether this is actually working.

Control compliance score How the environment measures against NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST SP 800-53.
Service availability Whether citizen-facing services stay up when it matters.
Time to provision governed environments How fast new, compliant environments can be stood up.
Data quality & classification coverage How much data is classified and governed, not just stored.
FAQ

Questions we hear from government IT and program teams.

Short answers to common planning questions for Government & Public Sector.

Can our data stay in US government cloud regions?

Yes. We design landing zones on AWS GovCloud (US) and Azure Government where required, and document data residency for FedRAMP and agency privacy review.

Can this fit our procurement and audit cycles?

Yes. We phase modernization to align with procurement and formal audit checkpoints rather than a single rip-and-replace change.

Do you help with NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP evidence?

Yes. Controls are mapped to specific NIST SP 800-53 requirements with evidence collection built in, not assembled after the fact.

Can our in-house team operate this after handover?

Yes. Delivery includes documentation, runbooks and structured knowledge transfer to your team.

Where do you usually start?

A readiness assessment against current systems, data classification and the specific frameworks your program answers to.
