Comprehensive compliance built in.
As a Registered Provider Organization with the DoD's Cyber Accreditation Body, Altus itself is CMMC certified. As such, the breadth of NIST800 IT controls is built into our service delivery and infrastructure. Our clients therefore inherit Altus CMMC policies and documentation for every IT activity we manage on their behalf. Altus is also fully ITAR compliant across our entire stack — from sales through service to support. All Altus compliance frameworks are assured with our annual SOC2 audit.
How we work:
Coaching and support for your staff and systems.
Our founder recently quipped: “CMMC is not a point solution, it’s a lifestyle.”
We’re here to help you acclimate to your new compliance routine as your constant coach and partner.
Whether your IT org is well-versed with frameworks for NIST, ITAR, SOX, GDPR and more, or you’re now aiming squarely at compliance as final CMMC rules bite with the new federal fiscal year, the Altus team is ready to fit wherever you need.
To ensure healthy cybersecurity habits for your infrastructure (including your human capital), every Altus partnership includes approachable and effective compliance resources and coaching for your team. Altus pros are ready to build regulatory controls throughout your IT architecture too.
Here are a few examples:
Application Server Upgrade and Database Clusters
Whether your IT team is running critical systems on premise or in the cloud, Altus engineers and DBAs are always ready to assist with infrastructure builds and optimizations.
As a long-time GovCon cloud and SaaS provider, we've designed, deployed, and maintained all manner of infrastructure supporting various app architectures and delivery models. To date, Altus-built infrastructure cumulatively reaches more than 760,000 daily global users with our Mosaic multicloud environments. We've created on-premise client instances for many more.

NIST Compliance Business Review
Bolstering a proactive cybersecurity lifestyle for your business, Altus experts review and assess your current IT practices for compliance with NIST controls typically on a quarterly basis. Clients also regularly request compliance reviews along with major system changes, new infrastructure additions, or the merger of business units.
For many organizations our analysis of how IT business practices compare with key regulatory baselines is an excellent complement to their ongoing internal CMMC readiness activities, as well as prep for ISO, CMMI, SOC and other certifications.
Concise Altus guidance gives your business a clear assessment of how your practices stack up with key compliance regimes plus delivers actionable roadmaps for remediation and optimization.

Easy Records Management for Contract Compliance
Most organizations struggle with the handling and storage of digital documents and artifacts to support contract retention policies, even when running robust ECMs like SharePoint or Hyland. Often this results from the complexity of applications, sites, users, and data repositories leveraged for project delivery.
Leveraging our proprietary open-source tool, Aspire Content Connect, Altus specialists build custom workflows that automatically sync key documents to your long-term data stores when metadata parameters are met. Easy in-line tooltips may be added directly to project apps too, so users may simply declare records for retention with tags or a button click.
Altus experts are deeply familiar with numerous enterprise content management systems and data storage solutions, so our records automations are sure to work with your current IT landscape. If it's time to explore new ECM options for your business, Altus helps with review, selection, and deployment.

when you partner with Altus to manage your IT tasks, you get structural compliance too.
With Altus (to stretch the analogy) you’re effectively buying the building
– from the foundations of IT policy to the heights of day-to-day delivery.
