CORE SERVICES
The Calculated Solution helps businesses and government organizations understand their security exposure, strengthen their technology environments, and turn security requirements into practical action.
Build and strengthen cloud environments with security designed into the architecture and configuration. Support can include Azure, Azure Government, AWS, hybrid design reviews, Defender and Azure Policy configuration, server hardening, secure container and CI/CD design, and prioritized implementation planning. Deliverables depend on scope and may include architecture findings, hardening recommendations, configuration documentation, implementation plans, and remediation roadmaps.
Identify exposure, prioritize the issues that matter, and establish a repeatable remediation process. Support can include vulnerability-program assessment, Tenable Security Center, Nessus Manager and agents, ACAS administration, scan operations, SCAP and DISA STIG assessments, remediation tracking, validation, and configuration-baseline maintenance. Deliverables may include prioritized findings, remediation backlogs, reporting dashboards, configuration findings, and operating procedures.
Bring applicable security requirements under control with clear priorities, accountable ownership, and sustainable technical practices. Engagements can assess posture against relevant NIST SP 800-53 requirements and DISA STIG baselines, organize evidence and remediation timelines, establish continuous monitoring with Tenable, SCAP Compliance Checker, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Policy, and strengthen Windows Server and RHEL configurations. Shamar’s prior experience includes security-tool administration, SCAP/STIG validation, continuous-compliance tooling, and CCRI/CSSP preparation. Requirements and deliverables depend on the organization and scope; this service does not promise certification, authorization, or audit outcomes.
Use authorized testing to understand exploitable weaknesses and guide practical improvements. Support may include scoped cloud, hybrid, identity, and application testing; Checkmarx SAST and Burp Suite-based analysis where appropriate; prioritized remediation recommendations; and technical findings briefings. Testing requires written authorization, an agreed scope, and rules of engagement. Deliverables may include executive and technical findings reports, evidence of identified weaknesses, remediation guidance, and corrective-action validation when included in scope. Testing does not guarantee the absence of vulnerabilities.
Get experienced security leadership to clarify priorities, guide investment, and connect technical decisions to business risk. Support can include fractional leadership, security roadmaps, risk registers, executive briefings, policies and procedures, change-control workflows, GitLab/Jira governance, tooling evaluation, licensing and cost-feasibility analysis, payment-verification procedures, and digital-security guidance where relevant. Deliverables may include improvement roadmaps, risk registers, leadership briefings, operating procedures, governance workflows, and security-tooling recommendations.
