The challenge
The agency's sensitive systems had to meet strict government security standards and be monitored around the clock. Its existing setup relied on periodic audits and manual checks.
Any gap in accreditation would delay important digital services.
Our approach
Map the requirements
We translated the applicable control frameworks into concrete technical and process requirements.
Design a compliant architecture
Systems were rebuilt on an accredited platform with segmentation, encryption and logging by default.
Prepare for assessment
Documentation and evidence were assembled to support the accreditation process.
Monitor continuously
A dedicated, appropriately cleared security operations team watches the environment 24/7.
The solution
The agency's sensitive workloads now run on an accredited security architecture with continuous monitoring instead of point-in-time audits.
Compliance evidence is collected as part of normal operations, making re-assessments far less disruptive.
