Capability · Cybersecurity
Authorization, monitoring, and zero-trust — engineered to hold up under audit.
We help federal agencies stand up, sustain, and defend systems that meet the highest authorization bars. Our work spans the Risk Management Framework lifecycle, from boundary definition through continuous monitoring, and is accelerated by our cyberPX platform.
Outcomes
What you should expect from us.
We frame every engagement around the agency outcome that justifies it. Below are the outcomes we are accountable for in this capability area.
- Authorization to Operate (ATO) achieved on or ahead of the agency's published milestone.
- POA&Ms written in plain language, traceable to evidence, and acceptable to the Authorizing Official on first review.
- Continuous monitoring instrumented so control failures surface within hours, not quarters.
- Zero-trust reference architectures that integrate with existing identity, network, and SIEM investments.
- Lifecycle documentation that survives a recompete or contractor transition without rework.
How we engage
A delivery model that respects your audit trail.
Boundary and inheritance review
We map the system boundary, the inherited controls, the data sensitivity, and the operational tempo before recommending any architecture changes.
Control implementation plan
Tailored to NIST 800-53 Rev. 5, FedRAMP, or CMMC 2.0 as appropriate. Inheritance opportunities are surfaced explicitly.
Artifact production and assessment
SSP, SAR, POA&M, and contingency plans produced inside cyberPX. Independent assessment is coordinated with your authorizing chain.
Continuous monitoring
Daily, weekly, and quarterly control checks instrumented and reported, with eMASS-ready exports and AO-ready summaries.
Tools we operate fluently
The toolchain behind the work.
We are platform-pragmatic: we recommend what your environment, your authorization boundary, and your existing investments support.
Spotlight engagement
ATO acceleration for a high-value financial system
A high-value financial system was approaching a hard deadline for re-authorization. PRNX deployed cyberPX, re-mapped the inheritance model against the agency's enterprise control set, and produced the SSP, SAR, and POA&M inside nine weeks — replacing a process that had historically run six months or more.
