TruDefense helps defense contractors and federal agencies navigate AI adoption securely, achieve CMMC certification, and earn their ATO — guided by someone who has operated at every level of the system.
TruDefense leads with AI security because that's where the new risks are — and layers compliance expertise on top of it.
Organizations are adopting AI faster than they're securing it. TruDefense helps you evaluate, deploy, and govern AI tools in federal and defense environments — where the standards are higher and the consequences of getting it wrong are real.
Stress-test your AI systems before adversaries do. We simulate real-world attacks against models, pipelines, and integrations in federal and defense environments.
Move from “we want AI” to a concrete roadmap. We identify, scope, and validate AI use cases grounded in your mission requirements and compliance constraints.
Build the internal structures that keep AI accountable. Grounded in NIST AI RMF 1.0 and the regulatory expectations emerging across federal and defense sectors.
AI in production introduces detection challenges legacy tools weren't built for. We help organizations build the visibility needed to catch AI-based threats and monitor deployed models.
End-to-end Level 2 support for contractors processing CUI — from gap analysis through C3PAO assessment readiness. Three-tier pricing scaled to your environment's complexity.
Full-lifecycle RMF support and FedRAMP readiness for systems seeking authorization. Built on direct experience managing ATO packages inside federal information systems.
"Most compliance firms send a consultant with a checklist. TruDefense brings the person who wrote the checklist."
TruDefense is built on direct federal experience — practitioners who have held ISSO roles inside classified environments, worked through RMF authorization cycles from the inside, and supported programs where security failures carry real operational consequences.
That background shapes how every engagement is run. Client systems are assessed as if they're going to be attacked, not just audited. Compliance deliverables are built for C3PAO scrutiny and inspector review, not checkbox exercises. And AI adoption support is informed by real-world understanding of what federal environments will and won't tolerate.
Our team's experience spans security, AI, and FedRAMP consulting across public and private sector organizations — including Atlassian, BlackRock, DHS, NSA, Siemens, Dow, Voter Data Security, Space Systems programs, and others.
TruDefense consultants hold industry-leading certifications — including CISSP, GPEN, GCCC, GICSP, GRID, and DHS HVA Operator — with active federal security clearances across the team.
Our principals are contributors to federal and industry working groups shaping how defense and civilian agencies adopt emerging technology: inaugural DoD DevSecOps and container security working groups, CISA space security working groups, and SANS Institute subject matter expert roles.
We also bring peer-reviewed research in post-quantum cryptography and a track record of speaking at national security conferences. TruDefense doesn't just know the frameworks — we've helped shape the standards our clients are assessed against.
Whether you're evaluating AI tools for your environment, facing an upcoming CMMC assessment, or working toward an ATO — we'll give you a straight read on what the path looks like before any engagement begins.
