Three Capabilities.
One Mission.
Zero Vendor Bias.

From secure cloud adoption to infrastructure automation and operational readiness, we help mission-focused teams move faster, safer, and smarter. Our solutions are built for the field—modular, scalable, and backed by real-world experience.

  • Consulting & Delivery for Secure, Scalable Environments

    We specialize in hands-on engineering and strategic support for cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure. From first-principles design to full-stack automation, Cloud Ops bridges the gap between concept and execution.

    We help teams:

    • Plan and implement zero-trust architectures

    • Harden cloud environments to meet compliance frameworks (CMMC, FedRAMP, DoD IL)

    • Automate infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management

    • Optimize CI/CD pipelines for secure delivery and rollback

    • Support ATO, DevSecOps, and operational readiness reviews

    Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems or building from scratch, we deliver solutions that are maintainable, secure, and aligned to your mission—not a vendor roadmap.

  • Modular Infrastructure-as-Code for Repeatable, Secure Deployments

    SkyBend is a curated collection of modular infrastructure components designed to accelerate secure, compliant deployments across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. Each module is interoperable, auditable, and hardened for operational use in real-world environments.

    Use SkyBend to:

    • Stand up baseline environments (networking, IAM, logging, monitoring)

    • Deploy hardened workloads with compliance controls built in

    • Build reusable, version-controlled patterns for repeatable deployments

    • Enable multi-account or segmented architectures without manual rework

    All SkyBend modules are delivered with documentation, examples, and support for integration into existing automation pipelines.

  • Knowledge, SOPs, and Reference Material for Technical Operators

    Dryft Docs is our internal knowledgebase—refined through real-world deployments and shaped by operators. We publish SOPs, playbooks, reference architectures, and field notes to help teams avoid reinventing the wheel.

    Content includes:

    • Secure baseline guides (e.g., AL2023 CIS hardening, KMS key policy examples)

    • Troubleshooting checklists and known-issue workarounds

    • Architecture diagrams and annotated IaC walkthroughs

    • Internal lessons learned and operational shortcuts

    • Platform-specific deployment references (Wazuh, ELK, Okta, ZPA, etc.)

    Dryft Docs is the force multiplier that turns tribal knowledge into repeatable practice—because documentation is an operational asset.

Security &

Compliance.

Security isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into every layer of our architecture, automation, and operations. From code to cloud, we align with industry standards to ensure resilient, compliant, and defensible systems by design.

Standards we model

  • NIST 800-series (including 800-53 and 800-171)

  • CIS Benchmarks (Level 1 & Level 2)

  • DoD STIGs (Security Technical Implementation Guides)

  • FedRAMP (for cloud security posture alignment)

  • CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)

  • Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles
