Overview

Cyber Ops Consulting LLC provides secure, scalable, and mission-aligned application development and support services that integrate cybersecurity at every phase of the software lifecycle.
From design and prototyping to deployment and sustainment, we help clients modernize legacy systems, automate workflows, and implement zero-trust–ready applications that meet today’s compliance and mission assurance requirements.

Our approach is guided by NIST SP 800-218 (Secure Software Development Framework – SSDF), DoD DevSecOps Reference Design, and CMMC 2.0 security practices. Every solution we develop is engineered for operational resilience, security-by-design, and sustainment readiness.

Core Capabilities

1. Secure Application Development

We build custom applications and modernize existing systems using secure coding standards (OWASP, NIST 800-53 Rev. 5).
Our development teams leverage Agile and DevSecOps methodologies to accelerate delivery without compromising compliance or risk posture.

Key Activities:

  • Secure coding and validation using automated SAST/DAST tools
  • Integration of identity, access, and encryption mechanisms
  • Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline automation
  • Source code management and vulnerability reporting

2. System Modernization and Integration

We support digital transformation initiatives by refactoring legacy applications into cloud-optimized and containerized architectures.
Our engineers ensure seamless interoperability with existing infrastructure while maintaining compliance with FedRAMP, DoD Cloud SRG, and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) standards.

Examples include:

  • Migrating client-server apps to microservice-based architectures
  • Integrating APIs and automation for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) workflows
  • Designing secure data-sharing environments across enclaves

3. Application Sustainment and Lifecycle Support

We manage applications from deployment through retirement, ensuring availability, security, and performance across operational lifecycles.
Our sustainment plans align with ITIL 4 and DoD Instruction 8510.01 (RMF for DoD IT) to maintain compliance and configuration control.

Support services include:

  • Preventive maintenance and patch management
  • Configuration control and documentation (baseline versioning)
  • Help desk and Tier II/Tier III technical support
  • Secure software supply chain management

4. Continuous Security and Quality Assurance

Our quality assurance (QA) and testing processes include:

  • Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing integration
  • Continuous monitoring (ConMon) dashboards
  • Secure container scanning for cloud-native deployments
  • Audit-ready documentation for compliance validation

Example Project Reference

During support for a federal digital modernization initiative, Cyber Ops Consulting developed a custom vulnerability management portal integrating asset discovery, ticket automation, and compliance reporting.
This resulted in a 42% reduction in remediation cycle times and real-time compliance visibility across multiple enclaves — fully aligned with RMF and CMMC readiness goals.
