What We Do

A platform and a team, built to shorten your path to authorization

The Secure Software Factory and our embedded DevSecOps consulting work together — and that combination is what compresses your ATO/cATO timeline.

🛠️

Secure Software Factory

A zero trust, pre-hardened, GitOps-managed delivery platform for Kubernetes, tuned to your mission.

  • Zero trust by design: every user, device, and service verified — nothing trusted by default
  • Least-privilege access enforced end-to-end, with every request authenticated, authorized & logged
  • Pre-hardened, continuously scanned container baseline
  • Service mesh, logging, monitoring & policy enforcement built in
  • Controls mapped to NIST SP 800-53 from day one
  • GitOps-managed releases for consistent, auditable delivery
  • Scales from development to your most sensitive environments
⚙️

DevSecOps Consulting

End-to-end help designing and running secure delivery pipelines.

  • Software factory deployment & configuration on Kubernetes
  • GitOps pipeline design with continuous-delivery workflows
  • Hardened, pre-approved container image integration
  • Alignment to the DoD DevSecOps Reference Architecture
  • Team training and hands-on upskilling
🛡️

A Shorter Path to ATO / cATO

Not a standalone deliverable — a direct result of building on the Secure Software Factory with our team working alongside yours.

  • Compliance evidence, risk assessments & software provenance generated as part of the pipeline, not assembled after the fact
  • Pre-hardened, pre-approved infrastructure templates with controls baked in, cutting the RMF documentation burden
  • Reciprocity-ready findings that reduce duplicate assessments across programs
  • A continuous authorization posture, not a point-in-time approval that expires and must be renewed
  • Coordination with AOs, ISSMs, and security teams throughout
The Offering

Introducing the Secure Software Factory

The Secure Software Factory is Corelution's packaged approach to secure delivery: a pre-hardened, GitOps-managed Kubernetes platform that bundles the service mesh, logging, monitoring, and policy enforcement your program needs into one cohesive, compliant environment.

Zero trust is the foundation, not an add-on. No user, device, workload, or request is trusted by default — every connection is authenticated and authorized, access is scoped to least privilege, and every action is continuously verified and logged instead of relying on a trusted network perimeter.

That zero trust baseline is built to DoD standards and mapped to NIST SP 800-53 controls from day one — ready to adapt as your mission requirements change. Because the compliance evidence, hardening, and provenance data your assessors need are generated as part of the pipeline instead of assembled after the fact, the platform and our team together are what shorten your path to ATO/cATO.

We stand it up, tune it to your environment, and embed with your team as an extension of it — augmenting your capability to run and evolve the platform together.

Built for the Edge

Engineered for contested and disconnected environments

Not every mission has reliable connectivity. The Secure Software Factory is designed to keep running where the network can't be guaranteed — and to deploy fully offline where it can't be trusted at all.

📡

DDIL-Ready Operations

Built to keep functioning under Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited-bandwidth (DDIL) conditions — the reality of contested and tactical environments.

  • Edge-capable deployment: processing happens close to the mission, not dependent on a live link back to a data center
  • Store-and-forward data handling so critical information is captured locally and synced once connectivity returns
  • Tolerant of degraded, intermittent, and low-bandwidth links without breaking mission functions
  • Resilient by default — no single point of failure tied to constant connectivity
📦

Air-Gapped Deployment

Deployable entirely disconnected from the internet — for the environments where isolation is by policy, not by accident.

  • No internet dependency for installation or day-to-day runtime operation
  • Required images and dependencies staged into disconnected registries ahead of deployment
  • Vendor-agnostic: runs the same in the cloud, on-prem, at the edge, or fully isolated
  • Repeatable process for pulling authorized updates into the disconnected environment

About Us

Bridging mission owners and platform teams

Corelution Consulting was founded to close the gap between what DoD programs need and what it actually takes to deliver secure software fast. We work at the intersection of engineering and compliance — helping teams adopt a secure-by-default delivery model, built to DoD standards, without treating security as an afterthought.

Our approach is hands-on: we embed with your team as an extension of it, transferring knowledge as we go and augmenting your capability to run, evolve, and scale the platform.
