Cybersecurity Services · Adeptus Cyber Solutions

DoD Cybersecurity &
Information Assurance Services.

Adeptus Cyber Solutions doesn’t react to threats — we anticipate them. With roots in DoD cybersecurity and deep expertise across NIST, RMF, STIG, and DevSecOps, ACS delivers proactive cyber defense for government agencies, defense contractors, and commercial enterprises.

The ACS Advantage

Cybersecurity expertise that goes beyond the checklist.

Most cybersecurity firms apply generic frameworks to complex environments and call it done. ACS takes a different approach: we combine deep framework expertise with hands-on operational experience — including specialized knowledge in TAK ecosystem security that no other firm can match.

Our team has operated inside DoD programs, supported government ATO processes, and hardened mission-critical infrastructure that operators depend on in the field. That’s not a credential — it’s a standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

From standing up your first SIEM to navigating a full RMF authorization, ACS brings the right expertise to your specific environment — not a templated solution.

ACS is based in Rome, NY — steps from the Air Force Research Laboratory and at the center of DoD cybersecurity and TAK development. That proximity to the programs that define government security standards shapes how we work on every engagement.

Frameworks & Standards

We speak your compliance language.

ACS has deep, hands-on implementation experience across the frameworks that govern DoD and federal cybersecurity programs.

NIST 800-53 / 800-171

Security Controls & Compliance

We implement and maintain NIST security control families for both federal information systems (800-53) and contractors handling CUI (800-171). ACS maps your environment to the controls that matter and documents them for audit-readiness.

→ Control implementation & documentation
→ Gap analysis & SSP development
→ Continuous monitoring strategy
→ POA&M management

RMF (Risk Management Framework)

ATO Authorization Support

Navigating the RMF process is complex and time-consuming. ACS has guided programs through the full authorization lifecycle — from categorization and control selection through security assessment and ATO approval.

→ System categorization (FIPS 199)
→ Security plan development
→ Assessment preparation & support
→ ATO package assembly & review

STIGs & CIS Benchmarks

System Hardening

ACS applies DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks to OS, application, and infrastructure layers — including specialized hardening for TAK Server environments that general STIG checklists don’t cover.

→ RHEL, Ubuntu, Windows STIG application
→ Application-layer hardening
→ TAK Server STIG alignment
→ SCAP scanning & remediation

FedRAMP & FIPS-140

Cloud & Cryptographic Compliance

For cloud-hosted or cloud-connected systems, ACS supports FedRAMP authorization preparation and ensures that cryptographic implementations meet FIPS-140 validation requirements across your stack.

→ FedRAMP readiness assessment
→ FIPS-140 cryptographic review
→ Encryption policy documentation
→ Cloud security architecture guidance

Tools & Platforms

Mastered processes. Proven platforms.

Beyond frameworks, ACS has hands-on proficiency in the tools and workflows your security program runs on.

PLATFORM 01

SIEM & Log Analytics

ELK Stack and OpenSearch deployment and tuning. Real-time threat detection, dashboards, and alerting across your environment.

PLATFORM 02

DevSecOps

Security integrated from day one of development. Pipeline hardening, SAST/DAST tooling, container security, and secure CI/CD practices.

PLATFORM 03

Xacta

Streamlined risk management and compliance workflows using Xacta. Control tracking, evidence management, and continuous monitoring reporting.

PLATFORM 04

ATO & A&A Support

End-to-end Authority to Operate support. From initial documentation to final package submission, ACS guides your program to authorization.

TAK Ecosystem Security

The only firm with TAK-native cybersecurity expertise.

Securing TAK infrastructure requires knowledge that general cyber firms simply don’t have. ACS bridges both worlds — deep cybersecurity credentials combined with unmatched TAK ecosystem expertise.

TAK ecosystem cybersecurity and STIG hardening for DoD and government TAK Server deployments

TAK Server Hardening

STIG-aligned OS and application hardening for TAK Server deployments. Certificate authority setup, PKI lifecycle management, and access control configuration.

Who We Serve

DoD cybersecurity for every sector.

DoD & Military

RMF authorizations, STIG hardening, and DevSecOps pipelines aligned with DoD standards. ACS understands the compliance requirements — and the operational pressure behind them.

Federal & Gov

NIST, FedRAMP, and FISMA compliance support. ACS helps agencies build defensible security programs, document controls, and achieve and maintain ATO status.

Defense Contractors

CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness for contractors handling CUI. ACS closes compliance gaps before assessments and builds the documentation that auditors require.

Commercial

Enterprise security programs built with defense-sector discipline. SIEM deployment, penetration testing, and security architecture for organizations that can’t afford to learn from a breach.
