CAPABILITIES
What SEMAIS does — and what we do best
Two specialized practices anchor SEMAIS: cybersecurity and maritime IT/OT assurance. Four supporting capabilities extend them across the
government mission.
CORE PRACTICES
Where SEMAIS leads
These are the areas where our depth and our veteran heritage make the difference. Each has a dedicated page.
Cybersecurity Services
Governance, risk & compliance; security assessment & authorization (RMF/ATO); vulnerability management; and security program management — 360 degrees of cyber visibility for government and DoD systems.
White papers: Shrinking the Exposure Window · The Defensible Stack
Maritime IT/OT Assurance
Securing shipboard IT and operational technology against cyber risk — grounded in 20 years of U.S. Navy experience and aligned to IMO MSC.428(98) and the NIST framework.
White paper: Securing the Sea Lanes
SUPPORTING CAPABILITIES
Capabilities that extend the mission
Beyond our two core practices, SEMAIS brings supporting capabilities that round out a full-lifecycle engagement. AI and modernization, technology services, advisory, and workforce development let agencies consolidate related work under one accountable partner. Each is delivered to the same security and compliance standard as our cyber and maritime practices.
AI & Modernization
Securing AI models and modernizing legacy government technology.

HOW WE ENGAGE
Bringing clarity to your readiness
As organizations transform, readiness has to evolve continuously between the business and the technology that serves it. That maturity shows up across governance, decision-making, integration, and standardization — and it rarely advances at the same pace everywhere. SEMAIS meets you where you are, then moves each dimension toward a secure, modern, aligned target state.
Manage Uncertainty
Bring clarity to technology change and digital integration so leaders can decide and act with confidence.
Integrate Decisions
Connect decision-making processes with active leadership support and engagement across the enterprise.
Reinforce Maritime Security
Strengthen maritime security structure and risk-management processes grounded in the NIST framework.
Align the Operating Model
Bring policies, operations, technologies, and compliance together into one working model.
Characterize Cyber Posture
Define current and target cybersecurity posture against the risk environment and enterprise architecture.
Close Workforce Gaps
Identify where workforce programs fall short of business objectives and build the plan to close the gap.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Ways to put SEMAIS to work
Agencies engage us at the scope that fits the mission — a single assessment, an embedded team, or a full-lifecycle program. However we start, the goal is the same: measurable progress toward a secure and modern operating state.
Assessment & Advisory
A focused engagement to baseline current state, surface the gaps that matter most, and lay out a prioritized roadmap.
Embedded Delivery
Senior practitioners placed inside your program — ISSMs, ISSOs, engineers, and analysts who carry the work day to day.
Full-Lifecycle Program
End-to-end ownership across assess, implement, authorize, and sustain — one accountable partner from start to steady state.
One partner across the full capability set
From RMF authorization to shipboard OT to workforce strategy — accessible through SeaPort-NxG and DLA JETS.
