Government & Public Sector

Security architecture, incident response, and modernization support for agencies, ministries, and public institutions that operate under public scrutiny, legacy constraints, and continuous threat pressure.

Government networks sit at the intersection of legacy infrastructure, constrained budgets, and adversaries who specifically target public institutions for disruption, espionage, and political effect. State and local agencies report some of the highest ransomware exposure of any sector, often without the staffing or tooling available to large enterprises. Cyberpert builds programs around that reality: practical, sequenced, and accountable to the public mandate agencies operate under.

What makes this sector different
  • Legacy systems and fragmented IT environments accumulated across administrations, with limited modernization budgets
  • Constituent and citizen data that must remain available and verifiable even during an active incident
  • Cross-agency information sharing obligations that require interoperable, auditable security controls
  • Staffing and budget constraints that make 24/7 monitoring difficult to sustain in-house
  • Public accountability and disclosure expectations that differ from private-sector incident response norms
How Cyberpert supports this sector

Managed Detection & Response for public networks

24/7 monitoring and triage sized for agency budgets, with escalation paths that respect public-sector approval chains.

Incident response retainers

Pre-negotiated response terms so containment can start within the hour, not after a procurement cycle.

Election and constituent-data infrastructure hardening

Segmentation, access governance, and integrity controls for the systems citizens interact with directly.

Cross-agency information-sharing architecture

Interoperable logging and threat-intelligence sharing aligned to CISA and sector risk management agency expectations.

Legacy system risk mapping

Practical inventories and compensating controls for systems too costly or risky to replace on a normal cycle.

Public disclosure and crisis communication support

Incident narratives built for legal, legislative, and public accountability — not just technical audiences.

Frameworks and authorities we build against
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 CISA cross-sector guidance FedRAMP-aligned design State and local data protection statutes NIS2 (for EU public bodies)
