Where We Deliver

Six core service areas

The complete capability framework — engineered for warfighter alignment, secure mission delivery, and operational resilience. Each area is built to stand alone or combine into a full-lifecycle engagement, from initial assessment through sustained operations. Together they give agencies a single accountable partner across cyber, modernization, and mission support.

Cybersecurity & Engineering

IT/OT architecture design, RMF assessments, SA&A support, vulnerability management, and endpoint protection aligned to NIST and DoD 8500-series requirements.

White papers: Vulnerability Management · Government RMF

Maritime IT/OT Assurance

Technology services for vessel convergence, port infrastructure protection, and IMO/USCG security compliance — supporting fleet readiness and mission continuity.

White paper: Maritime Cyber Assurance

IT Management Services

Integrated application, data, identity, and infrastructure support combining security engineering, endpoint detection, and operational sustainment.

Warfighter Alignment

Executive advisory that translates technical risk into mission-aligned strategy — cyber and IT investments mapped to warfighter outcomes and readiness.

Workforce Development

Executive leadership training, security program maturity, shipboard weapons training, and security culture building — closing the cyber skills gap.

AI & Modernization Support

AI governance, AI-driven automation, secure cloud transformation, and modernization of data analytics strategy — without inheriting security debt.

DIFFERENTIATORS

Why agencies and primes choose SEMAIS

Maritime depth that's hard to find

Most government cyber firms can do IT. Few can do shipboard and shoreside OT. We specialize in vessel convergence, port infrastructure protection, and IMO/USCG compliance.

SDVOSB with prime-grade credentials

Service-disabled veteran-owned small business with SeaPort-NxG Prime status. Set-aside eligible across SDVOSB, SDB, and MBE channels — a rare combination.

Senior practitioners, not pyramids

You get the people on the proposal. Our key personnel hold CISSP, CEHv8, CGRC, CDNA, and ITILv3 — and founder-led engagement happens on every contract.

Twelve NAICS, six service lines, one team

Registered across engineering, IT, consulting, and training NAICS — so SEMAIS fits your SOW without artificial scope boundaries. Single point of accountability.

Founder-Led Engagement

Leadership

Every SEMAIS engagement runs through the same senior practitioner — founder Dewayne Hart — bringing government cyber delivery, published thought leadership, and a global speaking platform to each contract. Agencies and primes work directly with the expertise they evaluated, not a layer of junior staff handed the work after award. That continuity means faster decisions, deeper accountability, and delivery that reflects decades of hands-on government experience.
