Services

OSC provides fractional CIO/CISO leadership and hands-on cybersecurity and compliance execution for defense contractors, manufacturers, SBIR/STTR-funded companies, and R&D organizations handling controlled information.

Every engagement is directed by a senior lead with direct defense-industry operating experience, supported by specialists credentialed for the specific work — Cyber AB credentials for compliance, and Microsoft, Cisco, and vendor certifications for technical delivery.

Credentialed CIO/CISO leadership that owns the outcome — sets direction, manages vendors, and answers to your customers and auditors.
Independent readiness assessment against NIST SP 800-171A objectives — examined the way an assessor will, reported plainly, months before it counts.
System Security Plans that describe your actual environment, with identified evidence for every control claim and a POA&M that can be executed.
Build a compliance program your team can actually run — control ownership, documented risk decisions, and evidence that holds up under scrutiny.
Your compliance doesn’t stop at your network edge. Inventory, assess, and document third-party access to controlled information before a prime asks.
IT roadmaps sequenced against dependencies, contract deadlines, and real staffing — executable in the first quarter, still credible in the fourth.
Find out what your current licensing already covers before buying anything new — then fill only the gaps that actually remain.
Select IT and security providers against requirements specific enough to differentiate — then stay an informed customer with measurable accountability.
Senior technology counsel for owners and executives — a credentialed practitioner to test decisions against, without a discovery phase.
Technical and compliance due diligence for defense manufacturing M&A — quantified remediation cost, inherited risk, and integration reality before you close.

Not sure which one you need?

Most engagements start with a conversation rather than a service selection. Tell us about your contracts, your environment, and your timeline, and we will tell you plainly what we would do first.
