Primes
Primes can bring Glacier Byte onto a program as the small-business RMF and ATO subcontractor. We work inside your schedule, tools, and approval chain, and carry the package from categorization through continuous monitoring.
Helena, Montana
RMF and ATO support from Helena, Montana.
Glacier Byte Technology is a small, agile RMF and ATO support company. We get defense systems authorized, handle the integration work that gets them there, and run continuous monitoring after the ATO so they stay authorized.
Based in Helena, Montana. Serving defense programs nationwide.
What we do
The whole authorization lifecycle, from one small team.
Glacier Byte Technology gets defense systems authorized and keeps them that way. The same CISSP-led team handles the package, the integration work the system needs, and the monitoring after the ATO, so nothing is relearned between phases.
RMF Lifecycle & ATO Support
We handle categorization, control implementation, package development, and the push through assessment and authorization.
Secure Systems Integration
We bring new systems, components, and AI into the program boundary, then handle integration, hardening, evidence, and authorization under the existing RMF process.
Continuous Monitoring & ATO Sustainment
We maintain the POA&M, evidence, monitoring reports, and reauthorization work that keep the ATO current.
Supporting work: Compliance Documentation, Security Assessments, Infrastructure Hardening, Air-Gapped SIEM Implementation, and CMMC readiness.
Who we work with
Based in Montana. Working nationwide.
Program offices
Program offices can hand Glacier Byte the authorization workstream: the boundary, the control baseline, the System Security Plan, assessment support, and the monitoring that keeps the ATO current.
Small defense suppliers
We help small defense suppliers in Montana and across the country get ready for CMMC: scoping where Controlled Unclassified Information lives, mapping NIST SP 800-171, and writing the SSP and POA&M an assessor will read.
How engagements run
Remote by default, on site when the program needs it.
Most RMF work happens in the program's own systems: eMASS, ticketing, scanning tools, and the document repository. We work there with your team from Helena, on Mountain Time, which overlaps the working day on both coasts. When a site visit or an on-site assessment calls for it, we travel.
Our people are TS/SCI clearable personnel. Glacier Byte is a registered small business in SAM.gov under NAICS 541512, with CAGE 9WYP0 and UEI N3UKUXEY4RE5. The contract vehicles page covers how to put us on contract, and the FAQ answers the questions buyers ask first.
