Customer Challenges

Authorization delayed is capability denied

An authorization package assembled after the build is finished is a package built from memory. Programs that hold their schedule are the ones where control evidence is generated continuously, findings are burned down against a plan, and the authorizing official is never surprised.

Authorization timelines that slip and delay capability the mission has already funded.
Control evidence reconstructed after the fact rather than produced by the pipeline.
Vulnerability findings that outlive their remediation windows.
Configuration drift that quietly invalidates the accredited baseline.
Continuous monitoring reported as an activity rather than as a security posture.

Practices and controls in the delivery record

Authority to Operate support. Privateer IT supported the ATO assessment for the VA Pharmacy AMPL GUI as part of full-lifecycle delivery.
Cybersecurity testing and remediation. Performed within the delivery lifecycle alongside performance and regression testing, rather than as a separate late-stage gate.
Risk management and compliance. Risk management and compliance support delivered on-site for the Lovell Federal Health Care Center’s integrated systems, together with standard operating procedures and emergency operations support.
Security, configuration, and asset management. Delivered as a standing function on VA core infrastructure support.
Identity and access management. IAM capability contributed to a VA program team as a subcontractor to Cognosante.
Cleared personnel and facility. Top Secret facility clearance, with staff cleared at Tier 1 (Low / NACI), Tier 2 (Moderate / MBI), and Tier 4 (High / BI). Subcontract work has been performed at Public Trust and Secret levels.
PII, PHI, and PSI handling. Sensitive data handling training delivered through the VA Talent Management System.

Representative Experience

Where this has been delivered

Privateer IT engagements

IAM — Identity & Access Management (VA). Subcontractor and team member to Cognosante, contributing identity and access management capability to the program team.
Pharmacy Graphical User Interface — AMPL (VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Office). Cybersecurity testing and remediation within full-lifecycle delivery, and support to the Authority to Operate assessment.
ITOSIS (Veterans Health Administration — Lovell Federal Health Care Center). Risk management and compliance support, standard operating procedures, and emergency operations support for the integrated JALFHCC systems.
Core Infrastructure Services — 24x7 support (VA). Security, configuration, and asset management delivered alongside operational support to VA core infrastructure offices.

Outcomes on record

AMPL carried through its Authority to Operate assessment. Cybersecurity testing and remediation were performed inside the delivery lifecycle, and Privateer IT supported the assessment itself.
Risk management and compliance sustained at a joint VA/DoD facility. On-site support for the Lovell Federal Health Care Center’s integrated systems, including emergency operations support.
Cleared delivery at Public Trust through Secret. Sixteen documented subcontracts performed at Public Trust / Moderate MBI and Secret levels, with a Top Secret facility clearance held.
