Cybersecurity that produces decisions at every stage
Most organizations don't know where to start. This page shows the full lifecycle for both commercial and government programs — with consulting available across every stage and tools + training where we provide technology.
A continuous closed-loop risk management system. We provide consulting across every stage, with dedicated services and products where highlighted.
Define, Govern, Identify
Mission context, ownership, assets, and threats — the foundation for every risk decision that follows.
Stages 1–3Foundational Advisory
We provide consulting across these foundational stages — defining mission context, establishing governance, and identifying critical assets and threats.
Assess Risk
Pain: risk ranking is guesswork — priorities are indefensible. Artifact: ranked risk register with consequence × likelihood scoring.
query_stats Focus AreaCORA Service
Cyber risk assessment — quantitative scenario modeling tied to mission impact. Produces ranked risks, mitigation options, and leadership briefs.
See full service detail →Plan Treatment
Pain: risk data without decisions is just a report. Artifact: Risk Detail Records with mitigation options and budget context.
edit_note Focus AreaCORA Platform
Dashboard to model treatment options, track decisions, and produce leadership-ready artifacts — defensible budget requests included.
Explore CORA →Select Controls & Implement
Control strategy and deployment — translating risk decisions into protective measures across your environment.
Stages 6–7Implementation Support
Control selection guidance and implementation support — no dedicated tools, but consulting ensures chosen mitigations align with risk priorities.
Test & Validate
Pain: no proof that implementations actually work. Artifact: evidence packages for control effectiveness.
published_with_changes Focus AreaCyber T&E
Structured test planning and evidence templates — vulnerability testing, susceptibility, and recoverability validation.
Learn about Cyber T&E →Risk Management
Pain: risk decisions get made but never tracked or closed. Artifact: governance cadence with owners, milestones, and progress reporting.
monitoring Focus AreaRisk Management Service
Ongoing governance: decision tracking, roadmap visibility, and risk reduction metrics — track decisions through closure.
Risk management details →Report, Improve, Re‑assess
Pain: risk posture changes but the register never gets updated. Artifact: updated risk register with new assumptions and residual risk.
Stages 10–12CORA Platform
Posture dashboards, trend reporting, and periodic re-assessment with delta analysis that feeds the next cycle.
Explore CORA →The DoD acquisition lifecycle — from requirements through sustainment. We provide consulting across all stages, with MBCRA and T&E tools where highlighted.
Requirements
Pain: cyber requirements aren't measurable or testable at program start. Artifact: measurable/testable cyber requirements per DoDI 5000.98.
description Focus AreaMBCRA
Mission-based risk drives measurable, testable cyber requirements. MBCRA iterative assessment begins at requirements definition.
Request Access →Cybersecurity Strategy
Threat-driven acquisition approach, PPP annex, and RMF integration aligned to DoDI 5000.90.
Stage 2Strategy Advisory
Threat-driven cybersecurity strategy, PPP annex development, and RMF integration planning.
Design / Architecture
Pain: design decisions have cyber risk implications that don't surface until DT&E. Artifact: architecture risk register and MBCRA baseline.
architecture Focus AreaMBCRA
MBCRA iterative assessment begins at design — architecture risk register and MBCRA baseline aligned to DoDM 5000.103.
Request Access →Development & Integration
Secure design review, attack surface characterization, and supply chain risk management during build and integration.
Stages 4–5Development Support
Secure design review, attack surface characterization, and SCRM guidance during development and integration.
DT&E
Pain: DT&E events lack structured cyber test plans and evidence packages. Artifact: cyber DT&E plan, findings report, and evidence packages.
science Focus AreaT&E Tools
Structured test plans, evidence packages, and findings reports for cyber DT&E planning and execution.
Book a Scoping Call →OT&E
Pain: OT&E cyber events are under-planned and produce thin documentation. Artifact: OT&E cyber test plan, adversarial replication results, and findings.
verified_user Focus AreaT&E Tools + MBCRA
Operational test planning, adversarial replication scenarios, and MBCRA-driven OT&E planning support.
Book a Scoping Call →Authorize / ATO
Pain: ATO packages lack quantified risk to mission — only compliance artifacts. Artifact: risk-to-mission summary with POA&M and RMF alignment.
gavel Focus AreaMBCRA
MBCRA produces ATO-ready risk-to-mission documentation aligned to DoDI 8510.01.
Request Access →Sustain / Monitor
Pain: post-ATO risk posture degrades with no continuous visibility. Artifact: continuous monitoring report and POA&M updates.
monitoring Focus AreaRisk Management Service
Continuous monitoring, POA&M tracking, and ongoing RMF update support for sustained authorization.
