Risk-Based Compliance to Secure Mission Outcomes

Compliance alone doesn’t secure critical systems—proactive, risk-based strategies do. In a landscape of evolving threats and mandates, Tyto Athene helps agencies move beyond checklists by implementing automated compliance workflows, continuous monitoring, and AI-driven control validation. The result? Mission assurance, cyber resilience, and real risk reduction.

It is mission-critical that agencies align security efforts with real-world risks to protect high-value assets (HVAs), classified data, and critical infrastructure from near-peer adversaries. Traditional compliance approaches often focus on documentation rather than true security effectiveness, leaving our nation’s most vital assets vulnerable without intervention.

Identifying Key Challenges in Risk-Based Compliance

Federal mandates (EO 14028, M-22-09) evolve quickly, requiring continuous compliance readiness.
Outdated compliance models struggle to secure hybrid environments that include cloud, on-prem, and classified systems.
Traditional compliance efforts are often reactive rather than proactive, making it difficult to address security gaps before they’re exploited.
Agencies struggle to assess, monitor, and secure third-party vendors, exposing themselves to hidden threats.

Lockdown Enterprise

Supercharging Compliance Automation

Tyto’s Lockdown open-source solution leverages the power of Ansible automation to configure baseline security enforcement, ensuring organizations maintain compliance with STIG and CIS requirements while reducing the burden of manual security management.

Our platform enables:

Increased compliance with PCI, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC, FedRAMP requirements
Significant time savings with the elimination of tedious manual tasks
Increased efficiency and reduced operating costs
Reduce Compliance Creep

Case Study

Strengthening Compliance, Securing Gaps

Challenge

A federal bureau required a cATO framework to streamline risk assessments across cloud-based environments while reducing compliance costs. Its existing compliance model was manual, inefficient, and reactive, creating security gaps and delaying authorization processes.

Solution

Tyto developed an automated compliance framework, featuring:

Automated security control validation, reducing manual assessment efforts
Integrated risk dashboards, providing real-time compliance monitoring and risk analytics
Continuous compliance automation, streamlining ATO processes for cloud security environments

Results

The agency achieved cATO certification, ensuring real-time compliance with evolving security mandates, and reduced its compliance effort by 60%, saving time, costs, and personnel resources as well as strengthening its security posture.
