Cybersecurity Solutions
Defense-in-depth cybersecurity engineered for federal regulated environments, from RMF authorization through continuous monitoring. We engineer for the ATO and operate for the threat.
Authorization-grade engineering. Operational-grade defense.
Federal cybersecurity is the discipline of meeting two demanding standards at the same time: the regulatory and authorization regime that lets a system operate, and the actual threat environment in which it operates. ECG delivers both. Our cleared engineers, ISSOs, and architects work fluently across NIST 800-53, RMF, FedRAMP, and CMMC while keeping the eye on the only outcome that matters: a defended mission system.
From accelerating ATOs to standing up zero trust architectures aligned to OMB M-22-09, ECG operates inside the customer's authorization boundary, not above it. We understand that the assessor, the ISSM, the AO, and the operator all see the same system through different lenses, and we deliver work that serves all four.
Six practice areas, one defended boundary.
Specialized capability across the federal cybersecurity discipline, executed by cleared engineers with hands-on ATO, cloud, and SOC experience.
Zero Trust Architecture
ZTA design, implementation, and assessment aligned to OMB M-22-09, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and DoD ZT Reference Architecture. Identity, device, network, application, and data pillars planned and engineered together, not in isolation.
RMF and Authorization
End-to-end Risk Management Framework execution: categorization, control selection, implementation, assessment, ATO support, and continuous monitoring. Body-of-evidence packages built to survive AO scrutiny and SCA validation.
ISSO-as-a-Service
Cleared ISSO and ISSM augmentation across regulated environments. POA&M management, audit support, control implementation, and the day-to-day discipline that keeps an ATO from becoming a finding.
Cloud and Hybrid Security
FedRAMP Moderate and High readiness, cloud-native security architecture, IL4 and IL5 deployments, IaC security, and customer responsibility matrix execution. Cloud done in a way that holds up to inheritance.
SOC Augmentation and Threat Hunt
Cleared SOC analysts, detection engineering, threat hunting, and incident response support. We tune for the threat actually targeting your enterprise, not the average of all enterprises.
CMMC and CUI Compliance
CMMC Level 2 readiness, NIST 800-171 implementation, and CUI handling for primes and subs across the Defense Industrial Base. Gap assessment, remediation, and assessment-readiness support.
Engineering for the ATO and the adversary.
Four operating principles that distinguish how ECG runs federal cybersecurity work.
Compliance Is the Floor
NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and CMMC are the entry conditions, not the finish line. We hit the controls, then we keep going. Defended posture is the deliverable. The authorization is the receipt.
Engineer for the ATO
Architecture, implementation, and documentation built from day one for the assessment. SSP language matches the implementation. Inheritance is mapped, not assumed. POA&Ms are honest. Authorizing officials sign because the package earns it.
Cleared, Credentialed Workforce
Engineers and ISSOs hold active clearances and the certifications federal customers actually require: CISSP, Security+, CCSP, CISA, and the role-based depth needed for IL5 and SCI environments. We staff the work; we do not drop a brand and run.
Measurable Posture
Posture is reported with metrics that hold up: control implementation status, time-to-remediate, mean time to detect and respond, residual risk by mission system. Customers see the trend line, not just the snapshot.
Where this work shows up.
Representative scenarios that map to ECG cybersecurity capacity across DoD, IC, and civilian customers.
Stalled Authorization Recovery
Mission system stuck in assessment with a thin SSP, weak control evidence, and a frustrated AO. ECG rebuilds the body of evidence, closes high-risk POA&Ms, and walks the package across the line.
Identity-Anchored ZTA Migration
Phased OMB M-22-09 implementation: ICAM modernization, micro-segmentation, continuous authorization, and policy enforcement built around mission applications, not network topology.
Cloud-Native Mission System
Migration of a regulated workload to a FedRAMP Moderate or IL5 environment, with security architecture, control inheritance mapping, and continuous monitoring engineering wrapped around it.
Defense Industrial Base Readiness
CMMC Level 2 gap assessment, remediation, and assessment-readiness for primes and subs handling CUI. SSP, POA&M, and supporting evidence package built to survive a third-party assessment.
Aligned to the standards your AO will check.
ECG executes against the publications and authorities that define federal cybersecurity practice.
