Defend & Comply
Secure Modernization
Close the gaps, at a fixed price, phased by workstream.
What it is
The fixed-price project that closes the gaps an assessment finds. Workstreams: single sign-on and multi-factor sign-in; endpoint protection and patching; central logging and evidence; backup and recovery; network segmentation; the written policies, System Security Plan and plan of action auditors ask for; staff training; and an AI use case built on the secured systems. Licences and hardware are passed through at cost.
