Cybersecurity Services
The ACES cybersecurity team delivers mission-focused cybersecurity engineering and compliance support to help organizations reduce and manage risk while balancing cost, schedule, and performance. ACES combines deep technical expertise with disciplined program execution to support complex federal and regulated environments.
Risk Management Framework (RMF) Support
ACES provides end-to-end support across the full Risk Management Framework lifecycle, from preparation through continuous monitoring. ACES supports program offices and system owners in the development, review, and refinement of Authorization to Operate (ATO) packages submitted to Authorizing Officials (AOs). Services include development of assessment and authorization (A&A) documentation, implementation and assessment of DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), analysis of vulnerability scan results, development of mitigations and POA&Ms, and execution of risk assessments. ACES also develops tools to automate portions of the A&A process and aligns cybersecurity activities with Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) to support program execution and compliance milestones.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Readiness
ACES provides CMMC readiness and gap assessments to help organizations prepare for CMMC certification. ACES utilizes a SharePoint-based assessment solution to evaluate an organization’s security posture against applicable CMMC practices and processes. This assessment capability can be deployed within a customer’s secure enclave to support controlled environments and compliance requirements.
Cybersecurity Assessments
ACES performs cybersecurity assessments to evaluate and strengthen an organization’s overall security posture. Assessment services include security controls reviews, risk assessments, application security reviews, and internal and external penetration testing support. These assessments help organizations identify gaps, remediate risk, and prepare for industry-specific and federal compliance requirements.
Incident Response Support
ACES provides incident response support for both cloud-based and on-premises environments. ACES assists customers in identifying, analyzing, and containing cybersecurity incidents and delivers clear, actionable recommendations to support remediation. Post-incident, ACES provides detailed reporting and recommends improvements to policies, processes, and technologies to reduce the likelihood and impact of future incidents.
