Enterprise Rigor Without Enterprise Bureaucracy
Most dev shops have never been through an audit. We build and run mission-critical software for regulated environments — including a CJIS-compliant platform live in AWS GovCloud — with the security practice, documentation, and contracting your procurement team expects, and none of the big-integrator overhead.
What Stands Between You and a Vendor You Can Trust
Compliance is a gate, not a feature
"We take security seriously" doesn't pass an audit. CJIS, HIPAA, SOC 2 are architectural decisions and paper trails. We design for the audit from day one — encryption, RBAC, audit logging, and infrastructure as code so every control is inspectable.
Vendor risk
Small shops fail your security review; big integrators bill like a utility. We're the third option — senior, US-based, small enough to move fast and mature enough to pass vendor review, with the MSAs, SLAs, insurance, and documentation procurement asks for.
Integration complexity
New software has to live inside your existing IT estate — identity providers, systems of record, data governance, change management. We integrate with what you run; we don't route around it.
Built for How Procurement Actually Works
Architecture & Compliance Consultation
A working session with senior engineers, not a sales call. Bring the requirements, the compliance regime, and the constraints; leave with an honest read on options and risk.
Procurement-ready contracting
MSAs with scoped SOWs, defined SLAs, insurance certificates available on request, and the security and process documentation your vendor review requires.
Build with compliance checkpoints
Compliance review is a formal checkpoint in delivery, not a pre-launch scramble. Architecture reviews, audit trails, encryption, and documentation accumulate as the system is built.
Run and defend
We operate what we build: managed hosting in GovCloud or commercial AWS, continuous vulnerability management, penetration testing, incident response, and hardening.
Production AI for regulated environments. We ship AI that survives governance review: private data boundaries, Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry deployments, observability with Langfuse, human-in-the-loop review, and audit trails.
The Capabilities Behind the Compliance
Live in GovCloud, Trusted in the Field
C2 Platforms needed real-time coordination across agencies, handling law enforcement data under CJIS requirements. We architected it on AWS GovCloud with encryption, audit logging, and role-based access from day one, built offline-capable native apps, and launched the initial platform in under nine months. It's live with a major metropolitan police department today.
