DTNK Shield delivers end-to-end Security Assessment & Authorization (SA&A) services for major applications and general support systems governed by FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST SP 800-53. We help federal and state agencies establish and maintain defensible, audit-ready security authorizations by validating technical control implementation, system configurations, and supporting documentation against defined baselines.

Our independent assessments focus on real risk—not just paperwork—through control-by-control inspections, live configuration testing, and cross-domain evaluations spanning technical, management, and operational safeguards. We identify systemic control weaknesses, misconfigurations, and documentation gaps that can undermine system integrity or delay Authority to Operate (ATO) decisions.

DTNK Shield supports all phases of the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), including:

• System Categorization and Control Selection

• System Security Plan (SSP) Development

• Security Assessment Plan (SAP) & Execution

• Security Assessment Report (SAR) Delivery

• Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) Development

We tailor each engagement to the system boundary—whether supporting a cloud-based major application, hybrid infrastructure, or on-premise general support system—ensuring alignment with FedRAMP Moderate/High, agency overlays, and continuous monitoring requirements.

Our differentiator: we combine technical depth with compliance precision to reduce rework, accelerate ATO timelines, and deliver packages that withstand the scrutiny of ISSOs, Authorizing Officials (AOs), and third-party assessors.
