Mission-ready IT,
built to standard.

Federal missions demand security, compliance, and reliability with no room for error.

Secure, compliant IT, built to standard.
The reality for federal work

What mission-ready IT has to guarantee

Security, compliance, and reliability to federal standard, with the mission on the line.

Compliance
Standards are pass-fail

FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST are not aspirational, they are required. We get you aligned and keep you there, with the documentation and evidence federal work demands.

Security
Adversaries are real

Federal systems face sophisticated, persistent threats. We bring 24/7 monitoring, access controls, and layered defense built to protect controlled information across your environment.

Continuity
The mission can't pause

Downtime is not an option when the mission depends on it. We keep systems available and recoverable, with tested continuity for the day something fails.

What we hear on federal programs

The gaps we close for federal teams

Most federal teams and suppliers come to us carrying some version of these three. We take them off your plate.

A standard you're not yet meeting
The challenge

FedRAMP, CMMC, or NIST 800-171 requirements you have to satisfy but aren't ready for.

How IPC solves it

We close the gap and document it, so compliance never stalls the mission.

A lean team and a heavy mandate
The challenge

Federal security requirements are a full-time job your staff doesn't have time for.

How IPC solves it

We bring the depth and run the program, without replacing your team.

Controlled information you must protect
The challenge

CUI and sensitive data spread across systems with unclear boundaries.

How IPC solves it

We scope it, protect it, and document the controls, so you can prove compliance.

Clear Path  ·  Assess. Navigate. Sustain.

A clear path to mission-ready IT

The same structured methodology IPC applies across every engagement, brought to your program. You always know where you stand and what comes next.

01
Assess

We map your environment against FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST requirements, identify control gaps, and give you an honest picture of where you stand.

02
Navigate

You get a prioritized roadmap, security plan, and POA&M scoped to your program and controlled information. We guide every step.

03
Sustain

We run and monitor your environment, maintain controls and evidence, and keep your posture current as requirements and missions evolve.

Delivery Models

Fully Managed or Co‑Managed. Your call.

Whether IPC runs IT entirely or works alongside your existing team, the program, the process, and the standard of care are the same.

Fully Managed

IPC becomes your IT department. Best for organizations with no dedicated internal IT staff, or those who want to fully offload the operational burden. Your team focuses on the work that matters; IPC handles the rest.

Best when
No internal IT staff
Want a fully accountable partner
Need 24/7 coverage without 24/7 staffing costs
Co‑Managed

IPC works alongside your existing internal IT team. Best for organizations with an IT person or small team who need depth, 24/7 coverage, or specialized expertise. IPC extends the team without replacing it.

Best when
Existing IT staff
Need specialized depth
Want to extend coverage without adding headcount
Built for federal-grade standards

We meet the standards federal work demands

From FedRAMP-authorized environments to CMMC and NIST 800-171 for the defense supply chain, we operate inside federal security requirements every day, not as a checkbox.

What sets us apart
FedRAMP CMMC NIST 800-171 NIST 800-53 CUI
