Cybersecurity and Compliance

Pyramid runs FISMA-aligned, FedRAMP-aware, and ATO-ready security from day one of the program. We work alongside your ISSM, generate continuous-monitoring evidence in the pipeline, and brief the authorizing official in language they recognize. Built originally for federal mission systems, equally at home in regulated commercial environments under HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2.

What we do

  • Security architecture and zero-trust design
  • ATO authorization support
  • FedRAMP and FISMA compliance
  • Continuous monitoring
  • SOC integration

How we deliver

  • Security-by-design from day one, not bolted on at the end
  • DevSecOps pipelines with embedded SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning
  • SBOM generation and vulnerability management
  • NIST 800-53 and 800-171 controls implemented and evidenced, EO 14028 logging and SBOM requirements wired into the pipeline.
  • ICAM integration for federal identity

Outcomes we ship

  • Faster path to ATO
  • Reduced audit findings
  • Continuous compliance evidence, generated automatically
  • Mission systems hardened against active threats

Production proof. Independently appraised at CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 3 and CMMI-SVC Maturity Level 3. FedRAMP-aware delivery, production-tested across HUD, SEC, CMS, USDA, FDIC, and USCIS.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle the full ATO process end-to-end?

Yes. We have walked agencies through ATO from initial categorization through SSP, SAR, POA&M, and authorizing-official decision. We work the way your ISSM and authorizing official work, not the way a textbook says it should go.

What is your approach to zero-trust for federal systems?

We align to OMB M-22-09 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model. Identity is the new perimeter: every workload, every user, every device, every request authenticated and authorized. We implement in stages so you reach optimal maturity in pillars where the mission depends on it first.

How do you keep continuous compliance after go-live?

We bake evidence generation into the pipeline itself: control attestations from IaC, SBOMs from every build, scan results from every deploy. Your continuous-monitoring posture is a query, not a quarterly scramble.

Can you brief our agency CIO and ISSM on the security posture?

Yes. We deliver formal posture briefings, risk dashboards, and walk-through sessions tuned to the audience. CIO gets the strategic view; ISSM gets the control-level detail; both leave knowing what is green, what is amber, and what is being done about it.

What is a realistic timeline to ATO with Pyramid?

A new moderate-impact system typically reaches ATO in 6 to 12 months from kickoff when we start with the security categorization. A re-authorization on a known boundary runs 3 to 6 months. We can compress these timelines using a continuous ATO model where evidence is generated by the pipeline rather than written at the end. The Authorizing Official still owns the decision.

Does Pyramid hold a contract vehicle for federal cybersecurity work?

Yes. Cybersecurity scope is covered under GSA IT Schedule 70 (HACS SIN), GSA OASIS+ Unrestricted, HHS CMS SPARC, SEC ONE IT, GSA 8(a) STARS III, FDIC ITAS III, and the HUD O&M BPA. CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 3 and CMMI-SVC Maturity Level 3 appraisals are current.

How do you align to EO 14028 and OMB M-22-09?

EO 14028 logging (M-21-31) and SBOM requirements (NTIA minimum elements) are wired into our pipelines so every build emits the artifacts. M-22-09 zero-trust pillars are implemented in priority order tied to the mission, with identity-first as the default starting line. We track maturity against the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and report progress quarterly.

Do you only work with federal agencies?

Federal agencies are the majority of our delivery experience, and that's the rigor our commercial clients hire us for too. Pyramid serves federal agencies and regulated enterprises (financial services, healthcare networks, utilities, regulated technology platforms) that demand the same audit posture, uptime, and compliance discipline we built for federal mission systems. If your environment is regulated, audited, or relied on by people who notice when it breaks, you are our audience.
