We help federal, Defense Industrial Base, and commercial organizations achieve and sustain compliance, with documentation and outcomes built on evidence, not checklists, and engineered to withstand independent assessment.
We deliver advisory, assessment, and audit-readiness work for the CMMC program and the NIST Risk Management Framework, and we are building scalable training to help close the national shortage of qualified CMMC professionals.
“We stand on the shoulders of giants — we honor their work by remembering.”
As a generation of information-assurance pioneers retires, the understanding of why these processes exist is becoming scarce. We carry forward the discipline behind the foundational certification-and-accreditation lineage as a new generation steps in, evaluating the cross-functional process that produces a result, not just the field in a GRC tool.
Senior-led delivery available now, resting on existing expertise, no certification required to begin.
Levels 1–2 readiness, gap assessments, and C3PAO assessment preparation that substantiates the controls you've truly implemented.
Implementation and assessment against the NIST control families, applied with audit-grade rigor.
Security categorization (FIPS 199 / SP 800-60), control assessment, continuous ATO enablement, and FedRAMP advisory.
System Security Plans, Plans of Action & Milestones, and policies and procedures built to withstand independent scrutiny.
Security control assessment and analyst support, delivered directly or as a subcontractor to C3PAOs, ATPs, and primes.
Fractional virtual-CISO retainers and governance, risk & compliance advisory suited to small and mid-size DIB clients.
A deliberate credential ladder building toward authorized CMMC certification instruction: CCP and CCA training courses delivered as, or under, an ISACA Approved Training Provider.
Workshops, executive briefings, CUI-handling training, and implementation courses, sold on expertise alone, requiring no ecosystem approval.
Recorded, on-demand courseware for CMMC and NIST RMF, a build-once, learn-anywhere product that scales beyond live delivery.
Expanded assessment support and RMF training as the Certified Assessor credential comes online and an ATP / C3PAO relationship is established.
Official, instructor-led CMMC certification training delivered as, or under, an ISACA Approved Training Provider, taught by a CMMC Certified Instructor.
Noah leads Plumbline Works after delivery leadership at IBM Consulting, where he supported federal cybersecurity across 50+ systems in AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and IBM Cloud, including audit readiness for FedRAMP High, DISA IL4/5, HIPAA, and NIST RMF, most recently leading federal cyber threat management.
Earlier work spans GRC and audit support for federal financial systems under FISCAM and FFMIA, independent NIST SP 800-53 assessment, and system authorization and control testing under DIACAP, FISMA, and early RMF: the full arc of modern federal assurance practice.
