🏛️ Government

Secure, Compliant, Mission-Ready Infrastructure for Federal, State & Local

Public sector missions demand trust, resilience, and evidence.
SolveForce builds and operates networks, security, cloud, and data platforms for federal agencies, state & local government, justice/public safety, and education that are Zero-Trust by default, CUI/PHI/PII-aware, and auditable against NIST 800-53/171, FISMA, FedRAMP, CJIS, IRS 1075, SOC 2/ISO 27001, and CMMC.

🎯 Outcomes (Why SolveForce for Government)

  • Mission continuity — networks & apps with measured SLOs and multi-path resilience.
  • Zero-Trust everywhere — identity-, device-, and workload-aware policy across base/campus, WAN, DC, cloud, and edge.
  • Provable compliance — encryption, DLP, key custody, immutable logs/backups with exportable evidence.
  • Data sovereignty — region/zone pinning, egress controls, and lawful processing for CUI/FOUO/PII/PHI.
  • Operational clarity — DCIM/observability and SOAR runbooks aligned to NIST IR playbooks.

🧩 Compliance & Framework Mapping

  • NIST 800-53 / FISMA — AC/IA/AU/SC/CM/IR families; controls enforced by NAC/ZTNA, encryption, SIEM/SOAR evidence.
  • NIST 800-171 / CMMC — CUI enclave segmentation, key custody (HSM/KMS), immutable logging, IR drills.
  • FedRAMP — use FedRAMP-authorized services; private on-ramps; policy-as-code; continuous monitoring.
  • CJIS — encrypted network paths, 2FA, audit retention, vendor access via ZTNA with session recording.
  • IRS 1075 / HIPAA for health services — PHI/PII labeling, DLP, immutable backups, lawful processing & access logs.

🛡️ Zero-Trust Blueprint (Identity → Device → App → Data → Context)

  1. Identity — SSO/MFA, short-lived tokens; groups/claims drive policy. → /iam
  2. Device posture — MDM/UEM + EDR/XDR; disk crypto; OS minimums. → /mdm • /mdr-xdr
  3. Application — sanctioned SaaS, private apps/APIs; admin planes hardened.
  4. Data classification — CUI/FOUO/PII/PHI → stronger controls (read-only, watermark, redact). → /dlp
  5. Context — geo/ASN/time, session risk, change windows.

Outcome: allow (least-privilege) → step-up (MFA/PAM) → isolate (read-only/RBI) → deny.
