Frequently Asked Questions
What is government IT consulting?
Government IT consulting provides specialized technology expertise to public sector organizations including federal, state, and local agencies. Unlike commercial IT consulting, government IT requires understanding of procurement processes, compliance frameworks (NIST, FedRAMP, CJIS), budget cycles, and the unique accountability requirements of serving constituents.
What compliance frameworks do government agencies need to follow?
Common frameworks include NIST 800-53 for federal information security, NIST 800-171 for controlled unclassified information, FedRAMP for federal cloud services, StateRAMP for state-level cloud security, and CJIS for criminal justice information. Healthcare-related agencies may also need HIPAA compliance. We help agencies understand which frameworks apply and implement appropriate controls.
How does government IT procurement work?
Government procurement typically involves RFPs (Request for Proposals) or RFQs (Request for Quotes), competitive bidding requirements, contract vehicles, and budget cycle constraints. Some engagements may qualify for sole source procurement. We understand these processes and can work within government procurement frameworks.
What is zero trust architecture for government?
Zero trust is a security model that assumes no user or system should be automatically trusted, even inside the network perimeter. For government agencies, this means implementing identity verification, network segmentation, continuous monitoring, and least privilege access. Many agencies are mandated to adopt zero trust principles.
Do you work with Indiana state and local government?
Yes. We're based in Indianapolis and work extensively with Indiana state agencies, county governments, and municipal organizations. We also serve government clients nationwide. Our team understands Indiana-specific requirements as well as federal compliance frameworks.
What's the difference between FedRAMP and StateRAMP?
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the federal standard for cloud security authorization. StateRAMP applies similar principles for state and local governments. Both provide standardized security assessments for cloud services, but StateRAMP is designed specifically for state-level procurement and compliance needs.
Can you help with legacy system modernization?
Yes. Many government agencies operate critical systems that are decades old. We help assess legacy infrastructure, develop modernization roadmaps, plan migrations, and implement hybrid approaches that maintain continuity while enabling modern capabilities. Security and compliance are prioritized throughout.
