Compliance is the shield that protects your funding.
In the public sector, building a secure network isn't enough. If you can't meticulously document and prove your security posture to federal and state auditors, your agency's funding and authority to operate are at risk. UACS provides uncompromising Information Assurance (IA). We translate complex regulatory mandates into executable engineering, guiding your systems through the brutal gauntlet of government accreditation.
Certification & Accreditation
Navigating the Red Tape
We manage the entire Certification & Accreditation (C&A) lifecycle for government agencies. Whether you require legacy NIACAP/DITSCAP accreditation or are transitioning to modern framework standards, we build the System Security Plans (SSP) required to achieve your Authority to Operate (ATO).
Continuous Risk Management
Accreditation isn't a one-time event; it's a continuous posture. We implement the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), ensuring your systems maintain their certified status through continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection.
Independent Verification (IV&V)
Objective Third-Party Auditing
You cannot grade your own homework. UACS serves as an objective, third-party auditor. We meticulously review the code, architecture, and security controls built by other integrators to ensure they meet the strict requirements of your contract and agency standards.
Vulnerability Remediation
We don't just hand you a list of failures and walk away. Our IV&V teams work directly alongside your primary integrators to remediate vulnerabilities, re-engineer failing architecture, and bring the project back into strict compliance.
Regulatory Frameworks
FISMA & CJIS Compliance
Federal and law enforcement data requires absolute sovereignty. We engineer environments that strictly adhere to the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and the FBI's rigorous Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy.
CMMC & Defense Supply Chain
For prime contractors operating within the Department of Defense supply chain, we architect and audit environments to achieve the required levels of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), ensuring your federal contracts remain secure.
Active Threat Assessment
Authorized Penetration Testing
We think like the adversary. Our certified ethical hackers conduct authorized, full-scope penetration testing against your physical and digital perimeters, exposing the hidden attack vectors that automated scanners miss.
Disaster Recovery Auditing
A disaster recovery plan is only valid if it works. As part of our assurance protocol, we conduct unannounced "fire drills," forcing your infrastructure into simulated failovers to ensure your RTO (Recovery Time Objective) meets your operational mandate.
