How an engagement works

We start with the program you have.

You do not need a clean package or a perfect starting point. We begin with the system, deadlines, and review history already in front of you.

See where the package stands

We review the authorization boundary, control baseline, current artifacts, open findings, and assessor feedback.

Take ownership of the work

We set priorities, identify owners, close documentation gaps, and keep the technical and compliance work moving together.

Support the authorization decision

We prepare the package for review, work through assessment questions, and help program leadership resolve what remains.

Keep the ATO current

After authorization, we maintain evidence, POA&Ms, scanning, change records, and the continuous monitoring schedule.

Core services

FAQ

Who provides RMF and ATO support for small defense programs?

Glacier Byte Technology is a small, agile RMF and ATO support company in Helena, Montana that supports defense programs nationwide. A CISSP-led team takes a system from categorization through the authorization decision, handles the integration work that gets it there, and runs continuous monitoring afterward. Small programs get senior people on every task, not a junior team behind a sales lead.

Who can keep an ATO current after it is granted (continuous monitoring)?

Glacier Byte Technology runs continuous monitoring after the ATO: POA&M management, evidence upkeep, vulnerability scanning and remediation tracking, change documentation, recurring ConMon reports, and reauthorization support. If we built the package, the same team keeps it current; if someone else did, we start by reviewing the package and its open findings.

Do your personnel hold clearances?

Glacier Byte Technology provides TS/SCI clearable personnel. We work inside the program security boundary alongside your engineers, under the access rules your program sets.
