The clause landed. Someone has to build what it demands.
A prime flowed DFARS 252.204-7012 down to you, or an Authorizing Official is waiting on an ATO package, or an auditor already has a date on the calendar - and underneath all three sits the same work: draw a boundary, implement a control set, and produce evidence somebody else can verify.
We do that work on ourselves before we sell it. MacTech operates its own CUI enclave, and the Trust Codex that maps every NIST SP 800-171 requirement to the artifact proving it is published rather than described. See it as built.
Service Organization
Four practices, each one run by the person who does the work
Cybersecurity & RMF Services
Led by Patrick Caruso · Director, Cyber Assurance
Comprehensive Risk Management Framework implementation and authorization support for DoD and federal information systems. MacTech maintains CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance and aligns with NIST CSF 2.0, NIST RMF, FedRAMP Moderate, and SOC 2 Type I.
RMF & ATO package development
RMF Step 1–6 implementation and documentation for new system authorization. SSP, SAR, POA&M, and continuous monitoring strategy delivered as a single coherent package.
- System Security Plan (SSP) authoring
- Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) development
- Risk Assessment Report (RAR) development
- Security Control Assessment (SCA) support
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance
Implementation and documentation for the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. Boundary scoping, evidence repository, and C3PAO assessment handoff.
STIG compliance + automated playbook generation
Hardening and Validation Suite turns DISA STIGs into idempotent Ansible playbooks. CTP documents for manual controls.
Continuous Monitoring (ConMon)
Program design that detects drift between authorized baseline and live configuration. Monthly evidence sweeps reconciled against the SSP.
Framework alignment documentation
Crosswalk between CMMC Level 2 and NIST CSF 2.0, NIST RMF, FedRAMP Moderate, SOC 2 Type I - controls map to the same evidence artifacts.
Infrastructure & Platform Engineering
Led by James Adams · Director, Infrastructure & Systems
Infrastructure design and implementation with authorization requirements built in from the start. Architecture-first delivery so the boundary holds up under assessor scrutiny.
Data center architecture & design
Network zones, segmentation, and storage architectures sized for authorization boundaries. Architecture diagrams and Configuration Management documentation as deliverables.
Virtualization & cloud platforms
VMware, Azure Government, AWS GovCloud. Migration planning and cutover with FedRAMP boundary alignment from day one.
- Hybrid boundary patterns
- Disaster recovery & business continuity plans
- Performance optimization + capacity planning
Storage, backup, and segmentation
Dell/EMC, VxRail, Unity, XtremIO. Network architecture and security zones designed to NIST 800-53 requirements.
Infrastructure as Code
Reviewable, idempotent IaC for deployment and drift detection. Runbooks and implementation guides delivered alongside.
Quality & Compliance Consulting
Led by Brian MacDonald · Managing Member, Compliance & Operations
Proactive audit readiness and compliance programs for regulated environments. ISO 9001 / 17025 implementation, laboratory accreditation, and program-level audit readiness.
ISO 9001 / 27001 / 17025 implementation
End-to-end QMS rollout from gap analysis to certification audit handoff. Document control, work instructions, and internal audit programs.
Laboratory accreditation (ISO 17025)
For measurement labs and calibration facilities serving regulated programs. Metrology process documentation and traceability.
Audit readiness assessments
Monthly evidence cadence with reviewable findings, ready for surveillance audits, DLA, FDA, NIST visits.
- Audit readiness checklists
- Gap analysis reports
- Corrective action management
Process documentation & standardization
Procedures and work instructions written by engineers who maintain them. Templates that don't rot.
Contracts & Risk Alignment
Led by John Milso · Director, Legal & Risk Advisory
Reducing downstream legal and contractual risk through better upfront alignment. We integrate technical execution with contract and risk awareness - fewer surprises during audits, authorizations, and disputes.
Contractual readiness for cyber/compliance obligations
Contract terms that match the technical capabilities you've actually built - not aspirational language that haunts you at the program review.
Risk-aware delivery planning
Risk identification in scopes of work and delivery models. Reviewable risk register tied to the program calendar.
Vendor & subcontractor agreement alignment
Flow-down clauses that match prime requirements; data handling terms aligned with your CUI boundary; governance and signature-authority clarity across the chain.
Contract review for technical deliverables
A senior counsel reviews the scope-of-work before it ships, with engineering input on what is genuinely deliverable.
Framework Coverage
Every framework. One delivery team.
From MacZine
How this work reads from the inside
Written by the people delivering it, in the newsletter, before it was ever a service page.
Start with where you stand
The readiness assessment emails you the result, and someone from MacTech reaches out about what to do first. Our directors are also available for proposals and can be named as key personnel.
