Federal contracts require compliance.
Non-compliance means disqualification.
If you're a government contractor or federal service provider, you're facing rapidly evolving cybersecurity requirements without the resources of a prime contractor. You need strategic guidance, not just checklist compliance:
Federal requirements expanding
CMMC, NIST 800-171, Zero Trust—requirements keep growing but budgets and staff don't
Strategic confusion
Which requirements apply to you? What should you prioritize? How do you balance cost and risk?
Resource constraints
Need expert guidance but can't justify a full-time CISO or large security team
Contract implications
Security gaps can delay contracts, trigger audits, or disqualify you from opportunities
Fortified Services Inc. provides fractional security leadership for government contractors—translating federal requirements into practical strategies, designing right-sized programs, and ensuring you can confidently pursue federal opportunities without overbuilding your security posture.
