Federal Technology Services
We build and run secure systems for government.
Federal systems have to meet a higher bar than commercial ones. Every environment goes through security review, every access decision needs to be justified, and a single flaw in the code can put the mission at risk.
Our team has worked to that standard for years. We have designed and deployed satellite communications systems connecting ARTCC facilities and remote base stations. We have taken national security systems through certification, accreditation, and ATO under the NIST RMF. We have run high-availability public services for TSA, NASA, and the Department of Commerce. We bring that experience to every engagement, whether it's a FedRAMP-aligned AWS GovCloud environment, a PIV/CAC-based Zero Trust identity architecture, or a DevSecOps pipeline with security built in from the first commit.
We are a small team with senior people, so we can move quickly and still handle high-stakes work.
Identity is the new perimeter.
The federal technology moment.
Zero Trust is now required
Federal policy directs agencies to adopt Zero Trust architectures, and identity is the first pillar. Most agencies are partway there. The ones that succeed will design identity into their architecture instead of treating it as a product to buy.
Legacy systems are the biggest risk
Older platforms cost the most to run and are the easiest to attack. That makes modernization a security decision as well as a budget decision.
AI makes identity even more important
Agencies that use AI need to show who accessed what data, when, and under what authority. Answering those questions starts with identity.
Capabilities.
Cloud & platform engineering
We build landing zones, run migrations, and handle ongoing operations on AWS GovCloud, aligned to FedRAMP, so environments are ready for authorization review.
Zero Trust architecture & ICAM
We design identity-centered architectures that meet federal Zero Trust requirements. This is our deepest area of expertise, covered in more detail below.
DevSecOps & secure delivery
We build pipelines with automated security checks from the first commit. Teams ship faster, and the security record supports the authorization package.
Responsible AI integration
We put AI to work with a person reviewing key decisions and a clear record of how each decision was made.
Data engineering & secure analytics
We build governed data pipelines and cloud analytics environments for sensitive mission data, with access controls and audit trails throughout.
Solutions architecture & technical capture support
We help teams pursuing federal work with pre-award solutioning and technical volumes. Our CaptureGPT service, described below, adds AI across the full capture lifecycle.
Identity, Credential & Access Management.
ICAM controls who can get into a system, what they can reach, and how the system confirms they are who they say they are. Zero Trust is built on it, and it's where we have the most depth.
Identity governance & lifecycle
Access is granted when someone joins, adjusted when they change roles, and removed the day they leave, with attestation and a full audit trail.
Credentialing & phishing-resistant MFA
We implement PIV, derived credentials, and phishing-resistant authentication for federal staff and partners.
Access management & federation
We deliver single sign-on, attribute-based access control, and trusted federation across agencies and mission partners, so authorized users can get to what they need without extra steps.
Privileged access & continuous verification
Administrator access is granted only when needed, monitored while in use, and revoked on schedule.
Win the work before you write it.
AI-powered capture, led by experienced capture professionals.
CaptureGPT is our capture and proposal service. AI platforms such as GovDash handle the high-volume reading. Shipley-trained capture leads make the judgment calls.
The AI monitors opportunity feeds, breaks down solicitations, builds compliance matrices, and drafts volumes in hours instead of weeks. Our capture leads decide whether to bid, how to team, what the customer is most concerned about, and how to frame the win themes. We apply the same discipline to capture that we apply to clinical data: measure carefully and let the evidence guide the decision.
Small businesses
A full capture function without hiring a proposal team. We handle opportunity qualification, bid decisions, and compliant volumes.
Mid-size firms
More bids without more headcount. We tune the AI tools to your pipeline and build a repeatable capture process.
Large enterprises
Portfolio analytics, faster color-team reviews, and AI-assisted drafting that keeps long proposals consistent and compliant.
Platform selection & enablement
We look at how your team bids, set up the right AI capture tools, and train your staff to run them on their own.

Identity, Credential & Access Management (ICAM) Modernization
We supported the Department of Homeland Security's move to Zero Trust by modernizing how identities are verified, provisioned, and governed across mission systems at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The work aligned to the Federal ICAM (FICAM) architecture, HSPD-12 and PIV credentialing, NIST SP 800-63, and NIST SP 800-53 access controls. Our engineers designed and operated identity workloads in AWS GovCloud, built ETL pipelines to reconcile identity and access data across authoritative sources, and implemented CyberArk privileged access management to vault and audit high-risk administrator accounts.
The result: more than 5,000 users brought under centralized identity governance across 15 integrated systems, with least-privilege access, continuous visibility into who can reach sensitive systems, and an audit trail that holds up to federal compliance review.
