A Security First Approach
in Meeting Your Mission

The security of your workloads, applications, and systems is the security of your entire enterprise and the viability of the mission itself. But architecting workloads, applications, and systems to meet stringent security requirements is a challenge. CTAC offers the knowledge, capabilities, and experience to help you navigate, automate, and accelerate building secure workloads against multiple federal standards and best practices.

Through proven best practices and partnerships, CTAC’s security-first design approach accelerates development and time-to-launch for our solutions. Through experience, custom automation and web accessibility tools, and expedited timeframes for security audits, obtaining an Authority to Operate (ATO) is just one trick up our sleeve.

CTAC has successfully launched and maintained 700+ secure federal workloads in the cloud.
