Cybersecurity & Zero Trust for Federal Missions

CNDEZ Federal Focus helps agencies defend mission systems, data, and operators across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments with zero-trust architectures, DevSecOps, and 24/7 monitoring aligned to federal guidance.

24/7 Mission Monitoring
0 Trust by Default
NIST Aligned Architectures

Defend the Mission, Not Just the Network

We align cyber capabilities to mission threads—prioritizing the systems, data, and workflows that matter most to commanders and senior leaders.

  • Zero-trust architecture design & implementation
  • Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem security controls
  • Continuous monitoring & incident response support

Cybersecurity as a Mission Enabler

Federal missions operate in contested, congested, and high-consequence environments. Cybersecurity cannot be an afterthought or a compliance checkbox. CNDEZ Federal Focus helps agencies move from perimeter-only defenses and point tools to integrated cyber capabilities that support mission assurance, rapid recovery, and continuous modernization.

CNDEZ Cybersecurity Capabilities

A modular set of capabilities that agencies can adopt as standalone services or as part of a broader zero-trust and modernization journey.

Cyber Posture & Gap Assessments

Understand current-state strengths, weaknesses, and risks across networks, applications, identity, and data.

  • Architecture & control reviews
  • Threat-based and mission-based assessments
  • Prioritized remediation & investment roadmap

Zero Trust Architecture & Implementation

Move from implicit trust models to identity, device, and data-centric controls aligned with federal zero-trust strategies.

  • Identity, device, network, app, data, and telemetry pillars
  • Micro-segmentation & policy enforcement
  • Incremental migration plans for legacy environments

Cloud & Hybrid Security

Secure workloads across commercial, Gov, and IL-aligned cloud environments with consistent controls and visibility.

  • Secure landing zones & guardrails
  • Configuration management & compliance baselines
  • Cloud security posture management (CSPM)

Application Security & DevSecOps

Embed security into software factories and delivery pipelines so vulnerabilities are mitigated before production.

  • Static & dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST)
  • Software composition analysis (SCA) & SBOM
  • Secure coding standards & developer enablement

Detection, Monitoring & SOC Integration

Improve detection fidelity, reduce noise, and support faster triage by integrating telemetry into modern SOC workflows.

  • Log aggregation, SIEM, and data platform integration
  • Use cases and detection content engineering
  • Playbooks for investigation & response

Incident Response & Cyber Resilience

Prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber events while maintaining mission continuity and stakeholder confidence.

  • Incident response planning & tabletop exercises
  • Backup, recovery, and continuity-of-operations patterns
  • After-action reviews & improvements backlog

Aligned to Federal Cyber Frameworks

CNDEZ Federal Focus designs cybersecurity solutions that respect and leverage federal guidance—not work around it. We align architectures, controls, and processes to the frameworks agencies already use.

NIST & RMF Alignment

Architectures and control implementations mapped to NIST and Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls and artifacts.

  • Control tailoring & inheritance strategies
  • Security plans, SSP updates & POA&M support
  • Continuous monitoring & assessment enablement

Zero Trust & Federal Strategies

Roadmaps aligned to federal zero-trust strategies and agency implementation plans, with measurable milestones and metrics.

  • Strategy mapping to practical implementation tasks
  • Cross-pillar dependency and sequencing analysis
  • Dashboards for leadership to track progress

Compliance in Modern Architectures

Help agencies modernize without losing compliance posture, by designing controls that work with agile, cloud, and DevSecOps.

  • “Compliance as code” patterns in pipelines
  • Evidence collection automation & reporting
  • Support for audits, inspections, and reviews

Representative Cyber Mission Stories

Examples of how CNDEZ Federal Focus supports agencies in raising cyber maturity while enabling, not slowing, mission execution.

Defense Program: Zero-Trust Pilot to Enterprise Rollout

A defense program needed to move from traditional perimeter security to a zero-trust model across multiple enclaves and networks.

  • Led architecture pilot across a critical mission system
  • Defined enterprise patterns for identity, device, and data
  • Sequenced rollout across additional systems and sites

Civilian Agency: Cloud Security & Compliance at Scale

An agency expanding its cloud footprint needed to ensure security and compliance controls kept pace with rapid adoption.

  • Implemented secure landing zones and guardrails
  • Automated configuration and drift detection
  • Improved audit readiness and visibility for leadership

Federal SOC: Detection Content & Response Playbooks

A federal SOC needed to improve detection quality and speed of response across multiple data sources and tools.

  • Rationalized and prioritized detection use cases
  • Developed and tuned detection content in the SIEM
  • Implemented standardized investigation playbooks
