Capabilities

Federal cybersecurity capability areas

Federal Cybersecurity Architecture

Security architecture aligned to mission systems and federal data protection requirements. Includes reference architectures, control allocation, and risk-based design decisions defensible to assessors and authorizing officials.

NIST RMF & ATO Support

Hands-on support across the Risk Management Framework — categorization, control selection and tailoring, SSP development, assessment readiness, POA&M management, and authorization package preparation aligned to NIST 800-37 and 800-53.

FISMA & Continuous Monitoring

FISMA-aligned program support including control implementation, evidence workflows, and continuous monitoring strategies that hold up under independent assessment.

Zero Trust Implementation

Implementation guidance grounded in OMB M-22-09 and CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model — identity, devices, networks, applications, and data — with a practical sequencing plan rather than vendor-led marketing.

Cloud Security & GRC for Federal Workloads

Cloud security architecture and GRC for federal and federally-aligned workloads, including FedRAMP-aligned control implementation, shared responsibility mapping, and audit evidence design.

  • Cybersecurity architecture across regulated industries including financial services, healthcare-adjacent SaaS, and federally-aligned cloud workloads.
  • Direct experience implementing NIST 800-53 control families, RMF lifecycle activities, and Zero Trust principles in production environments.
  • Active credentials: CISSP, CRISC, CCSK v5, CCZT, CompTIA A+; degrees in Computer Information Systems and Avionic Systems.
Why Cyberneza

Differentiators

Architecture-driven, not checklist-driven

Security architecture experience driving control implementation—not checklist-driven compliance.

Bilingual across federal and commercial frameworks

Fluent in NIST 800-53, RMF, and FISMA and SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA — useful when programs straddle both worlds.

Zero Trust grounded in federal guidance

Sequencing decisions trace back to OMB M-22-09 and CISA maturity guidance, not vendor decks.

Single-principal accountability

Primes work directly with the delivery resource. No layered handoffs.

How to engage

Two ways to bring Cyberneza onto a contract

Subcontracting

Corp-to-corp (C2C)

Direct C2C engagements for staff augmentation, embedded support, or short-cycle advisory work.

Engagements are remote with travel as required by the engagement.
