Every connection verified. Every node earned.
MoGhraOps doesn't just advise on zero-trust architecture — we operate it. Our ZTSA is live across two sites, aligned to NIST 800-171, CMMC Level 2, and FIPS 140-2. We run what we recommend.
MoGhraOps is the first client. We built ZTSA for ourselves — not on a whiteboard, not in a proposal, but in production across two operating sites. That is what practitioner-led actually means.
The perimeter is gone. Identity is the new boundary.
Traditional network security assumed that everything inside the firewall was trusted. That model is broken. Remote work, cloud infrastructure, contractor access, and mobile endpoints have dissolved the perimeter entirely. Zero-trust replaces the castle-and-moat with a simple, uncompromising principle: trust nothing, verify everything, limit access to exactly what is needed and nothing more.
For federal contractors and the defense industrial base, zero-trust isn't optional. NIST 800-171 requires it. CMMC Level 2 demands it. DFARS clause 252.204-7012 enforces it. The question is no longer whether your organization needs ZTSA — it's whether your architecture can prove it.
MoGhraOps built and operates a production ZTSA across two geographically separated sites. Every component is deployed, tested, and maintained — before we advise a single client to do the same.
Built in production. Proven in practice.
Every component below is deployed and operational in the MoGhraOps environment. This is not a reference architecture. It is what we run.
Identity & Access Management
Self-Hosted SSO · Identity Federation · MFAA self-hosted identity provider delivers SSO, MFA enforcement, and application access control across the environment. Identity policies extend to every cloud platform and business tool. Every user, every session, every application — authenticated before access is granted.
Internal PKI & Certificate Authority
Self-Hosted Certificate AuthorityAn internal certificate authority issues short-lived, automatically renewed certificates to services and endpoints across both sites. No long-lived credentials. No shared secrets. Every service proves its identity cryptographically.
Endpoint Security & Device Trust
MDM · Full-Disk Encryption · Remote WipeMobile Device Management enforces security baselines across all endpoints — full-disk encryption required, remote wipe capable, policy-compliant before network access is permitted. No unmanaged device accesses the environment.
SIEM & Security Monitoring
Host-Based IDS · File Integrity · Event IndexingHost-based intrusion detection, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection, and compliance policy checks run continuously across the environment. Every security event is indexed and surfaced. Nothing moves through the environment unseen.
Log Aggregation & Observability
Centralized Logging · Metrics · Unified DashboardsLogs from every system and service are aggregated, correlated, and surfaced in unified operational dashboards — from host health to security posture to compliance trend lines. One coherent picture of everything happening across both sites.
Network Segmentation
Multi-Zone Architecture · Least-Privilege RoutingThe MoGhraOps network is divided into isolated zones — Management, Servers, Endpoints, CUI/Restricted, and Guest/IoT. Lateral movement between zones requires explicit policy authorization. Nothing crosses a zone boundary without earning it.
Site-to-Site Encrypted Transit
Encrypted Tunnel · FIPS 140-2 · Zero PlaintextA FIPS 140-2 compliant encrypted tunnel connects both MoGhraOps operating sites. All traffic in transit between locations is encrypted end-to-end. No plaintext. No exceptions.
Built to meet the standard. Operated to prove it.
NIST SP 800-171
All 110 controls across 14 families inform the MoGhraOps ZTSA design. Architecture, policy, and operational practice are mapped and documented.
CMMC Level 2
CMMC Level 2 maps directly to NIST 800-171. Our architecture is built to satisfy third-party C3PAO assessment requirements — not just self-attestation.
Learn more about CMMC →FIPS 140-2
Encryption across the environment — at rest and in transit — uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules. No non-compliant cipher suites.
DFARS 252.204-7012
The DFARS clause requires adequate security for covered defense information. Our CUI enclave architecture and incident reporting procedures are designed to satisfy these requirements.
32 CFR Part 2002
CUI handling policies — marking, storage, transmission, destruction — are documented and implemented in accordance with federal CUI requirements.
FISMA
Information security management practices align with FISMA requirements — risk assessment, continuous monitoring, incident response, and system inventory are all operationalized, not just documented.
We run what we recommend. That is not a slogan.
Production — Not Theory
Every component of the MoGhraOps ZTSA is deployed and operational — not a reference architecture, not a lab environment, not a proposal exhibit. We operate this infrastructure every day, which means we know exactly what works, what breaks, and what the controls actually require in practice.
Multi-Site Architecture
MoGhraOps operates across two geographically separated sites under one coherent security posture. Consistent identity policies, encrypted inter-site transit, and unified monitoring give us direct experience with the multi-site challenges our clients face.
SDVOSB Credentialed
As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, MoGhraOps engagements count toward your agency's small business goals. For primes managing DIB supply chain posture, a verified SDVOSB security advisor is a meaningful differentiator in proposal responses.
Dual-Use Value
Our ZTSA serves two lanes simultaneously: it strengthens MoGhraOps' own federal proposal posture, and it informs the advisory services we provide to other small DIB businesses navigating the same compliance journey. We know what this costs. We know what it takes. We have done it.
This architecture powers StandFast
StandFast is the MoGhraOps platform that delivers Zero Trust and continuous CMMC compliance to Defense Industrial Base contractors — built on the same architecture described on this page.
