Aerospace and Defense Security on the Front Range

Denver's Front Range corridor is home to one of the largest concentrations of aerospace and defense companies outside the Beltway. Companies here build satellite systems, missile defense technology, space launch vehicles, and intelligence systems — all of which require the highest levels of application security. We conduct security assessments for defense contractor applications, evaluating access controls for classified and controlled environments, secure development practices, supply chain security, and compliance with CMMC, ITAR, and NIST SP 800-171. Our assessments help Denver defense companies maintain their security clearances and contract eligibility.

Government Technology and FedRAMP Readiness

Denver's proximity to federal facilities including NORAD, the US Space Force, and numerous federal agencies creates a large government technology market. Cloud service providers selling to federal agencies must achieve FedRAMP authorization — a rigorous process that requires comprehensive security assessments and continuous monitoring. We help Denver GovTech companies prepare for FedRAMP by assessing their cloud infrastructure against FedRAMP requirements, implementing required controls, and preparing the System Security Plan and other documentation the FedRAMP process demands.

Cannabis Technology and Emerging Industry Compliance

Colorado's legal cannabis industry has created a unique technology sector with its own security and compliance requirements. Cannabis technology companies must comply with state seed-to-sale tracking regulations, handle sensitive customer data including medical information, and manage payment processing in a heavily regulated environment. We conduct security assessments for cannabis technology platforms, evaluating point-of-sale system security, customer data protection, integration security with state compliance systems like Metrc, and the specific regulatory requirements that Colorado imposes on cannabis technology providers.
