Advisory, architecture, governance, and assessment services for critical infrastructure.
Every engagement starts with what you cannot afford to lose. Our practitioners have held the security and technology leadership roles our clients hold today, and they work alongside your team to set strategy, secure IT and OT environments, meet regulatory obligations, and prepare leadership to act with confidence. Use one service on its own or combine them into a single program.

06CCE Risk Assessment
Start with what you cannot afford to lose.
CI-Discern applies Consequence-driven Cyber-informed Engineering (CCE), the methodology developed by Idaho National Laboratory, to identify the outcomes your organization cannot accept, map how an adversary could cause them, and engineer protections that remove or reduce those consequences.

07CMMC Advisory & Assessment
Take a risk-based approach to CMMC compliance.
Certified CMMC Professionals and Certified CMMC Assessors on staff help defense suppliers find their gaps, close them, and prepare for certification. We are not a C3PAO, so our guidance stays independent of the certification decision.
