Compliance Built on Execution, Not Theory
Aegidis helps defense contractors handle NIST 800-171, CMMC, and Zero Trust work from a founder who has personally run these transitions — on classified government networks and inside a Fortune 500 carrier. The same principles apply whether the problem is a compliance gap on a network or an authentication gap on a steel asset. Both come down to the same question: how do you prove what happened, and make that proof stick?
NIST 800-171 Assessments
Control-by-control gap review focused on evidence and remediation order.
- Map current controls to 800-171 requirements.
- Identify high-risk evidence gaps first.
- Deliver a practical remediation sequence.
CMMC Readiness Support
Pre-assessment readiness support before external pressure arrives.
- Define boundary and inherited controls.
- Clarify provider vs. internal responsibilities.
- Build an assessment-ready evidence package.
Zero Trust Architecture Design
Zero Trust architecture support grounded in real enterprise transitions.
- Prioritize identity, device, and access controls.
- Plan migration off legacy VPN/perimeter patterns.
- Align controls to operations and staffing reality.
Zero Trust Maturity Assessment
Maturity evaluation against CISA ZTMM and NIST SP 800-207.
- Score current maturity by pillar.
- Test claimed capabilities against evidence.
- Produce a phased improvement roadmap.
Third-Party Risk & Shared Responsibility
Shared-responsibility analysis for MSP and cloud-heavy environments.
- Separate provider obligations from yours.
- Surface contract and control boundary gaps.
- Document accountable owners per requirement.
Engineering-Aware Security
Security guidance written for real engineering constraints.
- Account for change windows and uptime limits.
- Design around OT/legacy operational constraints.
- Focus on controls teams can actually run.
- Defense contractors preparing for NIST 800-171 or CMMC assessment pressure.
- Suppliers handling engineering data, technical drawings, or CUI-adjacent workflows where policy must align with manufacturing and operational reality.
- Organizations whose Zero Trust claims need to survive an external maturity evaluation against CISA ZTMM or NIST SP 800-207.
- Programs where cyber decisions must align with how equipment, factories, or operational technology systems actually run.
- Buyers who need direct technical access rather than policy-only consulting from a junior delivery layer.
Assessment First
Start with a scoped gap review to determine whether the right next move is remediation planning, architecture support, or a maturity assessment against a specific framework. Scoping is a real conversation, not a form.
Prioritized Remediation
Turn findings into a practical sequence tied to staffing, budget, and operational constraints — rather than a compliance shopping list disconnected from how the organization actually functions.
Direct Leadership Access
Work directly with founder-led technical leadership for scoping, tradeoffs, and decision support through delivery. The person who assessed is the person who remediates.
