DoD contractors face an unforgiving compliance bar: CMMC + NIST 800-171 + CUI protection + audit-ready evidence — on a budget that rarely matches the requirement. Paliton's managed cyber service, anchored on the Island Enterprise Browser, delivers a direct path to CMMC Levels 1–3 without the cost of traditional VDI or physical isolation.
Every defense contractor we work with hits the same six walls. Each is fixable — but missing any one of them is enough to lose a contract or a recompete.
Complex, ever-changing standards. Significant investment to meet. Frequent updates and audits create ongoing burden — most small primes don't have spare bodies for it.
Controlled Unclassified Information lives across endpoints, browsers, email, file shares. Every uncontrolled path is a breach away from contract debarment.
Hybrid teams + subcontractors + auditors all need access — without exfiltrating CUI. Traditional VPN-and-pray doesn't pass C3PAO scrutiny anymore.
Compliance > defense margin. Limited budgets force trade-offs that risk losing the contract. Most "enterprise" CMMC stacks are priced for primes 10× your size.
Detailed records and regular compliance reports eat hours from people you'd rather have on contract delivery. Manual evidence collection doesn't scale.
The browser is the new endpoint. Phishing, malicious extensions, and data leaks via copy-paste / downloads are now the dominant CUI exfiltration vectors.
Island isn't another consumer browser hardened with extensions. It's an enterprise-grade browser purpose-built for organizations under strict compliance — with security and monitoring controls baked into the runtime, not bolted on.
Real-time DLP, role-based access, behavior monitoring, end-to-end encryption, session isolation, Zero Trust, advanced threat protection, automated compliance reporting — and integration into both multi-cloud and on-premises stacks.
CMMC is the bar. The capabilities to meet it — SOC, identity, evidence, network — are things we already operate every day for our customers. We're extending that practice to your federal program, not learning it on your dime.
24/7 monitoring, EDR (CrowdStrike Falcon), SIEM, incident response. Same playbook we run for HIPAA and SOC 2 customers, mapped to the NIST 800-171 / CMMC controls.
Centralized cloud-based identity with SSO + MFA, role scopes per app, conditional access. The Island Browser becomes another principal in that model — not a separate stack.
Continuous compliance evidence generation via Drata + Island reports. C3PAO assessments become walk-throughs of an already-mapped environment, not a 90-day fire drill.
Where customers need it, we deploy on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure (Azure Gov) — same pattern we use for our federal Wi-Fi customers. CMMC inherits that posture.
Three phases. Predictable, lifecycle-managed. We do the heavy lifting; your team stays focused on contract delivery.
Comprehensive review of your IT environment, current controls, compliance gaps, and risk factors. Output: a gap matrix mapped to CMMC Levels 1–3 and a recommended scope.
Define pilot objectives, identify key users and systems, design rollout. Limited-scope deployment validates the architecture before company-wide rollout.
Phased rollout to all in-scope users. Integrate with your identity, ticketing, and SIEM. Continuous monitoring + Quarterly Business Review on compliance posture.
Stronger CUI protection across all devices, users, and access paths.
Lower overhead than VDI or physical isolation. Predictable monthly fee.
Direct path to CMMC Levels 1–3. Continuous evidence, not annual scramble.
24/7 SOC monitoring, threat response within 15 minutes. We see it; we contain it.
30-minute discovery + a gap matrix mapped to your contract requirements. No commitment. We'll tell you what's safe, what's not, and what it'll take to close the gap.
