The Front Line of Civil Defense
Security Privacy 10.18.2025Local governments and municipalities are the backbone of daily life.
We utilize proprietary tools and methodologies to rigorously vet vendors and supply chain partners, managing external risk exposure for public entities and critical infrastructure.
Vendor risk is the #1 blind spot for local governments, often leading to data breaches or compliance failures (like CJIS). We immediately solve the problem of vendor due diligence by providing a clear, defensible, and repeatable process to ensure your partners meet the security standards required to protect public trust.
Employing custom-built assessment tools and scorecards, informed by state-level procurement requirements, to evaluate vendor security posture efficiently and objectively.
Assessing vendor adherence to specific regulatory requirements, including CJIS mandates, CISA guidelines, and NIST 800-171 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Focusing forensic-level attention on vendors managing critical systems, citizen PII, financial data, and operational technology (OT) interfaces.
Consulting on the security language within contracts (MSA/SOW), ensuring vendors are contractually liable for meeting your compliance and security standards.
Designing a strategy for continuous, lightweight monitoring of critical vendors to ensure security posture doesn't degrade after the initial contract is signed.
Providing clear, concise risk scores and mitigation recommendations to City Managers and Governing Boards to guide vendor selection and contract decisions.
