The Challenge
Defense and federal organizations face infrastructure requirements that commercial cloud architectures were never designed to satisfy. Meeting these demands requires a disciplined, compliance-first engineering culture — not a bolt-on security layer applied after deployment.
- Data sovereignty & residency — Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and classified data must never leave authorized geographic and logical boundaries, requiring government-only cloud regions and verifiable data-flow controls.
- DoD Impact Level compliance — IL4 and IL5 control baselines (NIST SP 800-53) mandate continuous monitoring, strict boundary protection, and personnel security measures that go far beyond standard hardening checklists.
- Multi-tenant isolation — Shared-platform environments require cryptographic workload isolation and microsegmentation so that one tenant's compromise cannot pivot to another's data plane.
- Supply-chain security — Every artifact in the delivery pipeline — base images, Helm charts, Terraform modules, third-party libraries — must be signed, attested, and verifiable against a software bill of materials (SBOM).
- Air-gapped & disconnected deployments — Forward-deployed systems and classified enclaves must operate indefinitely without internet egress, requiring fully offline package registries, update mechanisms, and identity providers.
- FedRAMP authorization path — Organizations pursuing FedRAMP Moderate or High authorization need infrastructure that documents controls at the point of build, not through post-hoc assessments.
What We Build
Secure, sovereign infrastructure spanning the full lifecycle — from initial threat modeling through day-two operations and continuous compliance monitoring.
Azure Gov / AWS GovCloud Architectures
Landing zone design, hub-and-spoke networking, policy-as-code guardrails, and identity federation aligned to FedRAMP Moderate/High and DoD IL4/IL5 control baselines.
Kubernetes Defense-Grade Clusters
CIS-hardened Kubernetes clusters with runtime security (Falco), mutual TLS (Istio/Cilium), OPA Gatekeeper policy enforcement, and automated CIS Benchmark compliance scanning.
CI/CD with Supply-Chain Attestation
End-to-end pipeline hardening: signed commits, SBOM generation (Syft/Grype), SLSA provenance, container signing (Cosign/Sigstore), and gated promotion through immutable artifact registries.
Zero-Trust Identity
Keycloak and Microsoft Entra ID federation, CAC/PIV authentication, device posture checks, and policy-based conditional access across hybrid cloud and on-premise environments.
Air-Gapped & Disconnected Deployments
Fully offline infrastructure: private OCI registries, on-premise Helm/Terraform module caches, local Vault instances, and automated offline update pipelines for edge and classified enclave deployments.
IaC with Terraform & GitOps
Modular Terraform libraries for Azure Gov and AWS GovCloud, Ansible OS hardening runbooks, and GitOps continuous delivery via ArgoCD and FluxCD with full drift detection and remediation.
ISO 27001 Certified Delivery
Secure-by-design is not a marketing claim for Corvus — it is an independently audited operating posture. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification covers the information security management system (ISMS) under which all cloud infrastructure engagements are planned, executed, and maintained.
The same architectures that run our products run yours
Corvus platform products — including Corvus Head, Corvus Sense, and Corvus Quantum — are hosted on the same GovCloud-ready, zero-trust reference architectures we build for clients. When we design your sovereign cloud environment, we are applying the same controls we stake our own operational continuity on. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification provides an independently verified record of that discipline, covering risk management, access control, incident response, and supplier security across all engagements.
Technology Stack
A curated, defense-proven toolchain spanning sovereign cloud platforms, container orchestration, secrets management, zero-trust networking, and runtime security.
Why Corvus
ISO 27001:2022 Certified
Independently audited secure-by-design discipline applied to every engagement — from architecture review through operational handover.
Defense-Proven Track Record
Systems operational with Ukraine's Ministry of Defense. Member of the Brave1 defense-tech cluster.
Compliance-First Engineering
Controls are documented at the point of build, not retrofitted. We deliver infrastructure that shortens the path to FedRAMP authorization and DoD ATO.
