IT Services for Government — Secure, Compliant, Reliable
Government agencies and contractors operate under compliance frameworks that most IT providers have never worked with. CMMC, FedRAMP, CJIS, ITAR, and state-specific mandates require an IT partner who understands federal security requirements — not one who's learning on your dime.
IT Challenges in the Government Sector
Whether you're a municipal agency, a state department, or a federal contractor, these are the technology issues that create real operational and compliance risk.
CMMC 2.0 Certification Deadlines
DoD contractors must achieve CMMC certification to bid on contracts containing CUI. The rulemaking is final, C3PAOs are conducting assessments, and primes are already flowing requirements to subcontractors. Organizations without a System Security Plan and documented controls will lose contract eligibility.
CJIS Security Policy Compliance
Law enforcement agencies and contractors with access to FBI criminal justice information must comply with the CJIS Security Policy — including advanced authentication, encryption, personnel screening, and audit logging. Non-compliance means losing access to NCIC and state criminal databases.
Nation-State Threat Actors
Government networks face persistent targeting from state-sponsored threat groups. APT campaigns against government contractors and agencies use sophisticated techniques — supply chain compromise, zero-day exploitation, and living-off-the-land attacks that evade basic security tools.
FedRAMP Requirements
Every cloud service used by a federal agency must be FedRAMP authorized. Your IT provider needs to ensure all cloud platforms, SaaS tools, and hosted services in your environment meet FedRAMP Moderate or High baselines — or implement compensating controls where they don't.
Budget & Procurement Constraints
Government procurement cycles, fiscal year budget constraints, and competitive bidding requirements make IT modernization slower than in the private sector. You need an IT partner who understands these constraints and can plan multi-year projects within your procurement framework.
How BrightWorks IT Serves Government Organizations
CMMC & NIST Compliance
We assess your environment against NIST 800-171's 110 controls, build your System Security Plan, create and maintain your POA&M, implement required technical controls (FIPS 140-2 encryption, MFA, audit logging, CUI marking), and prepare you for C3PAO assessment. We can also architect CUI enclaves to minimize scope.
CJIS-Compliant Infrastructure
Advanced authentication (MFA at the local device level), FIPS 140-2 validated encryption, personnel screening coordination, security awareness training, and continuous audit logging — all configured to meet CJIS Security Policy version 5.9.2 requirements.
Hardened Network Infrastructure
STIG-hardened systems, zero-trust network architecture, next-generation firewalls with IDS/IPS, network access control (802.1X), and continuous vulnerability management. We apply the same security baselines used in DoD environments to protect your network.
FedRAMP-Aligned Cloud
We deploy government workloads on FedRAMP-authorized platforms (Microsoft GCC/GCC High, AWS GovCloud) and ensure your configurations meet the required security baselines. For cloud services that aren't FedRAMP authorized, we implement documented compensating controls or identify authorized alternatives.
