Architecture for mission-critical environments.
Federal civilian agencies, DoD primes, defense subcontractors, and state and local government operate under CMMC, FedRAMP, and FISMA. BTA designs, deploys, and operates the controls that meet the framework without bottlenecking the mission.
Zero Trust under OMB M-22-09 expectations, CMMC 2.0 readiness for the Defense Industrial Base, and air-gapped or restricted-network deployments where commodity playbooks do not apply.
What government and defense teams call us about.
Frameworks change. Adversaries change faster. The architecture has to satisfy assessors and survive contact.
- Risk 01
CMMC 2.0 and DIB compliance
Prime contractors need Level 2 readiness. Subcontractors need a path. Both need evidence aligned to NIST 800-171 control families.
- Risk 02
Federal Zero Trust mandates
OMB M-22-09 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model translate into specific architectural changes. Identity, device, network, application, and data each have a target state.
- Risk 03
Restricted networks and on-premise AI
Sensitive environments cannot send data to public-cloud LLMs. AI inference and analytics need to run behind the perimeter.
What BTA delivers for defense and government.
From CMMC readiness to on-premise AI deployment, with senior architectural ownership for every engagement.
- 01
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 readiness
Architecture, segmentation, and policy automation aligned to NIST 800-171. Evidence collection runs continuously through PAE.
- 02
Zero Trust under OMB M-22-09
Identity, device, network, application, and data pillars mapped to CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model targets. Microsegmentation is the network anchor.
- 03
On-premise AI deployment
QuickStrike runs inference and analytics behind the perimeter, under government control. No data leaves the boundary.
- 04
FedRAMP-aligned architecture
Network and security controls designed to integrate with FedRAMP-authorized SaaS without breaking the assessment boundary.
- 05
Detection engineering for advanced threats
XDR and SIEM tuned to nation-state and ransomware patterns observed in government and defense networks.
- 06
Network resilience and OT segmentation
Federal facilities, military bases, and government data centers segmented with tested DR and continuity playbooks.
- 07
Penetration testing and assessments
Architecture reviews, configuration audits, and adversary-emulation engagements against the deployed posture.
- 08
Mentoring and enablement
Government and defense IT teams operate the system on Day-2. Documentation is built to the assessor's standard.

We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.
Learn moreManaged Services
BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Defense & Gov, answered.
Direct answers from BTA leadership who run Defense & Gov engagements.
Can BTA support CMMC 2.0 Level 2 readiness?
Yes. We deliver architecture, segmentation, policy automation, and evidence collection aligned to NIST 800-171 control families. The output includes the documentation an assessor expects to see.Do you operate in classified or air-gapped environments?
BTA delivers in restricted and on-premise environments where commodity cloud-first playbooks do not apply. QuickStrike, our on-premise AI infrastructure, was designed for exactly this use case.How does BTA approach federal Zero Trust mandates?
We map identity, device, network, application, and data pillars to the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and OMB M-22-09 targets. Microsegmentation through Cisco Secure Workload anchors the network pillar.Are your architects cleared?
BTA has architects with active clearances available for engagements that require them. We confirm clearance requirements during scoping.Can you help us pass an audit we already failed?
Yes. Post-incident and post-finding remediation is a defined engagement model. We assess the gap, design the fix, deliver the controls, and produce the evidence.
