Most public-sector risk does not sit in Washington. It sits in a state agency running a benefits platform, a transit authority replacing signalling systems, a utility under cyber mandates, a county running elections and courts, and a hospital or school system holding sensitive records. These buyers answer to auditors general, legislatures, ratepayers and residents — and rarely have a federal-scale assurance staff.
Benefits, revenue, health and human services platforms with mixed federal and state obligations.
Consolidated oversight where one small team covers cyber, privacy, procurement and audit response.
Operational technology, capital programmes and safety-critical vendor dependencies.
Cyber mandates, resilience reporting and third-party access control.
Protected health information handling, vendor assurance and clinical AI review.
Student-record privacy, grant stewardship and platform vendor oversight.
State bodies rarely answer to a single framework. Controls are held once and mapped to every regime that asks for them, so one piece of evidence satisfies several reviewers.
Where the estate includes plant, fleet, signalling or metering, oversight has to cover the operational side rather than stopping at corporate IT.
Public bodies carry concentrated dependence on a handful of platform vendors and system integrators. Those dependencies are tracked as controls with named owners.
Auditor-general and legislative requests are answered from a standing evidence base rather than a fire drill.
Eligibility screening, case triage, fraud scoring and chat assistance all create administrative-law exposure. Each use is registered and gated before it reaches a resident-facing decision.
Large capital and modernisation programmes get schedule, cost and control reporting in one cadence for the board or commission.
Yes. The point of holding controls once and mapping them across regimes is that a small team stops answering the same question in five formats. Engagements are scoped to the staff you actually have.
Where a suitable vehicle or cooperative agreement exists we will work through it, including through a teaming arrangement. See the how-to-buy page for the routes we use.
Yes, where the estate includes it — transit signalling, plant, metering, building systems and fleet telematics are treated as in-scope control surfaces, not an exception.
We start with an inventory of what is running, classify by impact on residents, and put review gates on the uses that carry administrative-law exposure first.
Tell us the regimes you answer to and the systems you cannot afford to lose. The briefing is scoped to those, and a senior practitioner reviews every enquiry.
