TAK Server Security Hardening &
Managed Cybersecurity Services.

A compromised TAK server doesn’t just expose data — it corrupts the situational awareness your operators depend on. ACS provides purpose-built security services for TAK infrastructure, backed by the same expertise that powers our TAK Server as a Service deployments worldwide.

Why TAK-Native Security

Generic cyber firms don’t know TAK. We do.

Most cybersecurity firms apply generic hardening checklists to TAK infrastructure — and miss the attack surface that matters. TAK has a unique security model: CoT streams, PKI-based device enrollment, plugin execution, and federated server trust chains all present vectors that generic tools don’t account for.

ACS has built, deployed, and broken TAK environments. We understand how adversaries can abuse CoT message injection, exploit misconfigured certificate authorities, and leverage plugin vulnerabilities to corrupt the common operating picture. That’s not knowledge you get from a checklist — it comes from years of hands-on TAK work.

Our hardening services are available as standalone engagements for organizations running their own TAK infrastructure, and are included by default in every TSaaS deployment.

ACS is based in Rome, NY — at the heart of DoD TAK development and cybersecurity research, adjacent to the Air Force Research Laboratory. That proximity to the programs that define TAK security standards gives us an edge that no other firm can replicate.

Service Offerings

Four service lines. Full lifecycle coverage.

Purchase individually or as a bundled security program. All services available for self-hosted TAK environments and TSaaS deployments.

SERVICE 01

TAK Server Security Baseline

One-time hardening engagement

A comprehensive security baseline for new or existing TAK Server deployments. We assess your current posture, apply hardening standards, and deliver a written report with findings and remediation status.

→ STIG / CIS Benchmark OS alignment
→ TAK Server configuration security review
→ Certificate authority setup & PKI config
→ User enrollment & access control review
→ Firewall & network segmentation guidance
→ Deliverable: Security Assessment Report

SERVICE 02

TAK-Native Penetration Testing

Adversarial infrastructure testing

The only firm offering penetration testing specifically designed for TAK infrastructure. We simulate real-world adversary techniques against your TAK environment — not generic web app tests.

→ TAK Server attack surface mapping
→ CoT stream injection testing
→ Unauthorized client enrollment attempts
→ Certificate spoofing scenarios
→ Plugin vulnerability assessment
→ Deliverable: Pen Test Report + Remediation Plan

SERVICE 03

Certificate & PKI Management

One-time or ongoing managed service

TAK PKI management is one of the most common pain points for organizations running their own infrastructure. Expired certs, misconfigured truststores, and poorly managed revocation are leading causes of TAK outages and security gaps.

→ TAK CA setup & certificate issuance
→ Client certificate lifecycle management
→ Certificate revocation procedures
→ P12 / truststore management
→ Automated renewal workflows
→ Available as one-time or managed service

SERVICE 04

Managed Security Monitoring

Continuous posture management

Continuous security monitoring tailored to TAK environments. We watch for threats that generic SIEMs miss — anomalous CoT traffic patterns, unauthorized device enrollment attempts, and unusual federation activity.

→ TAK Server log monitoring & alerting
→ Anomalous CoT traffic detection
→ Unauthorized device connection alerts
→ Monthly security posture reporting
→ Incident response retainer access
→ 24/7 alerting available

TSaaS Integration

Already running TSaaS? Security is built in.

Every ACS TAK Server as a Service deployment includes baseline security hardening and certificate management by default. TSaaS clients can add pen testing and managed monitoring as optional upgrades — with no additional infrastructure setup required.
