DoD cybersecurity compliance

Turn compliance requirements into operating practice.

WTC helps defense programs connect NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, DISA STIGs, PPSM requirements, technical evidence, and continuous monitoring so compliance reflects how the system is actually secured.

The problem

Where federal cyber programs get stuck.

  • Policies describe an ideal process that does not match the technical environment or day-to-day operation.
  • STIG findings are tracked without clear severity, ownership, mitigation evidence, or acceptance rationale.
  • Ports, protocols, services, data flows, and boundary protections are documented in separate records that conflict.
  • Continuous-monitoring activities generate data but do not support a useful risk picture or management decision.

What WTC delivers

Work products that survive review.

Every deliverable is built to support a decision, close a documented gap, or make the authorization record more defensible.

01

Compliance gap analysis

A prioritized comparison of applicable requirements, current implementation, available evidence, operational constraints, and residual risk.

02

STIG and finding governance

Repeatable processes for review, validation, remediation, exception handling, evidence retention, and status reporting.

03

PPSM and boundary support

Aligned ports, protocols, services, diagrams, data flows, boundary controls, and approval records.

04

Continuous monitoring

A monitoring cadence tied to control health, vulnerability data, configuration change, POA&M status, and leadership decisions.

Engagement model

A disciplined path from signal to proof.

WTC can support a defined work package, strengthen an existing team, or own a focused authorization-readiness effort.

01

Scope

Identify applicable authorities, system characteristics, operating locations, information types, and technical dependencies.

02

Compare

Evaluate documented requirements against implementation, evidence, and actual operating practice.

03

Prioritize

Separate administrative cleanup from material security exposure and decision-critical risk.

04

Operationalize

Assign owners, close gaps, retain evidence, and establish a repeatable monitoring rhythm.

Best fit for

  • DoD programs preparing for an assessment, inspection, or authorization review
  • Teams carrying unresolved STIG, PPSM, or configuration-management debt
  • Systems with inconsistent diagrams, data flows, inventories, and boundary records
  • Leaders who need a defensible risk picture instead of a compliance status slide
