Cybersecurity and Risk Management

The Landscape

Cyber threats are not limited to external attackers. They also emerge from misconfigurations, outdated dependencies, incomplete access controls, unclear boundaries, and gaps in delivery pipelines. Risk is present in every layer. When security is treated only as a gate, delivery slows and vulnerabilities increase.

Our Approach

We embed cybersecurity and risk management throughout the lifecycle. Security is not added after the fact. It is built in from the start. Our approach includes:

Risk driven strategy:

  • Begin with a risk inventory of assets, data flows, threat models, and trust zones
  • Prioritize controls based on real risk rather than checkbox compliance
  • Connect security outcomes directly to mission objectives

Secure by default controls:

  • Favor secure defaults instead of later retrofits
  • Enforce least privilege, just in time access, and clean role management
  • Apply encryption, validation, segregation, and defense in depth consistently

DevSecOps and shift left practices:

  • Integrate security gates into CI and CD pipelines with static analysis, dependency scans, and dynamic tests
  • Include API and interface level security testing in integration workflows
  • Deliver fast feedback so developers correct issues early

Vulnerability lifecycle and resilience:

  • Continuously scan infrastructure, code, and dependencies
  • Triage and remediate based on severity and impact
  • Prepare for incidents with playbooks, alerts, and exercises

Governance and assurance:

  • Define policies, standards, and controls aligned with frameworks such as NIST or FedRAMP
  • Map risks to owners, mitigations, and residual exposure
  • Maintain evidence for audits and external reviews

Adaptive posture:

  • Test defenses with red and purple team exercises
  • Apply ongoing threat intelligence and behavioral monitoring
  • Review new integrations and system interfaces for security implications

What Sets Us Apart

Security built in from the first step, not bolted on later
Risk first pragmatism that balances control with mission impact
Continuous feedback loops where every change is a checkpoint for security
Governance with clarity, providing traceability from risk to control to evidence
