CYBER SECURITY & IT SERVICES
Mission-driven cybersecurity for government operations.
Oakum delivers risk-managed cybersecurity and IT services that align with federal compliance requirements while remaining grounded in operational reality. Our approach integrates security frameworks, continuous monitoring, and resilience-focused architectures to protect mission-critical systems without introducing operational friction. By balancing regulatory compliance with practical execution, we enable agencies to maintain secure, reliable, and uninterrupted operations in complex federal environments.
Risk Management Framework
We guide systems through the full RMF lifecycle—from categorization through continuous monitoring—and prepare documentation that holds up to authorizing officials. Our team has supported ATO packages for VA and DoD systems handling sensitive operational data.
NIST & HIPAA Compliance
We assess current-state environments against NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, and HIPAA Security Rule requirements and deliver actionable, audit-ready remediation plans, including support for healthcare-adjacent federal programs.
CMMC Assessment
We prepare defense industrial base contractors for CMMC certification, delivering gap analysis, evidence collection, and C3PAO coordination, while translating NIST 800-171 controls into sustainable operational practices.
System Hardening
We apply DISA STIGs, CIS benchmarks, and agency-specific baselines to harden federal systems against known threats. Our engagements include validation, documentation, and remediation tracking to ensure improvements are sustained.
Secure System Integration
We integrate disparate federal systems with security embedded from the start, including secure data exchange, identity federation, and continuous monitoring across hybrid environments.
Network Security
We design and implement segmented, zero-trust-aligned network architectures for federal customers, including firewall rule reviews, monitoring tool deployment, and threat-hunting playbooks tailored to each environment.
FedRAMP consultation
We support cloud providers and federal customers through the FedRAMP authorization process—from readiness assessment through 3PAO coordination and continuous monitoring—across Moderate and High baselines.
