Keeping up with cybersecurity is mission-critical to safeguarding agency data and national security. As Government customers look to implement solutions that help identify and prioritize security incidents, risks, and vulnerabilities and gain visibility over their infrastructure, they need a trusted implementation partner. Karthik Consulting has had nearly a decade of experience helping Government customers like the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the US Army Combat Readiness Center (USACRC) implement solutions that keep agencies safe from cyber threats with risk and vulnerability assessments, cloud security reviews, FedRAMP audits, Section 508 audits, and PIA assessments.

• Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
  

  Are you looking for a trusted partner to help conduct a risk and vulnerability assessment on your systems and infrastructure? With Karthik Consulting, we’ll conduct an in-depth review of your risk posture and determine your best steps towards a stronger cybersecurity plan, just as we did in 2014 when we developed a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) for the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

• Certification and Accreditation (C&A)
  

  Is your agency looking to maintain its Section 508, FISMA, or DIACAP compliance? Turn to Karthik Consulting for your Certification and Accreditation needs. Karthik Consulting can help evaluate your current portfolio and help you bring your agency into compliance.

• Cloud Security Review
  

  Are you looking to secure your new cloud infrastructure? Many agencies are looking to comply with DISA Cloud Security requirements while also keeping compliance with their individual agency’s security mandates. Karthik Consulting can help you understand your current cloud security posture and the requirements needed to comply with DISA standards.

  Is your agency looking to pass its FISCAM and FISMA audit? Karthik Consulting has nearly a decade of experience helping our clients like the Office of Naval Research pass their FISCAM audit as well as maintain FISMA and DIACAP compliance.

  Is your agency looking to improve its security controls and comply with the NIST’s Risk Management Framework? Turn to Karthik Consulting, which has helped agencies like the Office of Naval Research implement solutions to comply with various RMF information security controls like the NIST’s 800-53.

  Is your agency looking to implement new application security scanning tools to protect against vulnerabilities? An unsecured application can have ramifications across your entire portfolio. Trust Karthik Consulting to help your agency adopt and implement a scanning tool that can protect your agency throughout the development lifecycle and keep your agency in regulatory compliance.

• FedRAMP CSP/3PAO Audit
  

  Does your agency have a FedRAMP compliance initiative for your new cloud platform? Cloud Service Providers like ServiceNow have recently made moves to get their cloud platforms FedRAMP-certified for their Government customers. FedRAMP’s Joint Authorization Board has set out standards for the role of the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) in the JAB authorization process. As agencies move their IT infrastructure to the cloud, Karthik Consulting can help you work with your CSP to ensure you have a FedRAMP-ready deployment that can pass the CSP audit.

• Security Control Assessment Validation (SCA-V)
  

  Is your agency looking to validate its security controls? Karthik Consulting can provide experienced Security Control Assessment Validation (SCA-V) services to Government customers looking for an independent evaluation of their agency’s security controls against the NIST’s Risk Management Framework through auditing, security reviews, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

• Maintain Section 508 Compliance
  

  Is your agency looking to maintain its Section 508 compliance as it develops new software or implements a new system? Karthik Consulting has helped agencies like the USDA Office of Communications and the Office of Naval Research develop software and procure systems that met Section 508 compliance to improve accessibility for all.

• Conduct PIA Assessments
  

  When developing or procuring new systems that could handle Personally Identifiable Information (PII), a PIA assessment may be needed to evaluate legal compliance and protections in place to protect personal information. Karthik Consulting has helped agencies like the Office of Naval Research conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) regarding the usage of Personally Identifiable Information to protect the data of citizens and Federal employees.
