Threats
What attackers go after
Nation-State Attacks
Advanced persistent threats from foreign adversaries target government networks for espionage, intelligence gathering, and critical infrastructure disruption.
Ransomware Targeting Public Services
Local and state governments face ransomware attacks that shut down essential services, from 911 systems to water treatment facilities.
Supply Chain Compromise
Attackers target government contractors and software vendors to gain access to government systems through trusted third-party relationships.
Compliance
The frameworks you answer to
Government agencies and contractors must meet rigorous cybersecurity requirements. Failure to comply can result in lost contracts, security clearance issues, and national security risks.

Virtus helps government agencies and contractors implement security programs that meet CMMC, NIST, and FedRAMP requirements while defending against nation-state threats.
How we help
Where we would start
Security Assessments
Gap assessments and readiness reviews for CMMC, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP. Identify deficiencies and create remediation roadmaps before formal audits.
Penetration Testing
Authorized penetration testing against government systems and contractor networks. Simulate nation-state tactics to validate security controls.
Configuration Audits
Validate system configurations against DISA STIGs, CIS benchmarks, and NIST requirements. Ensure hardening standards are consistently applied.
Incident Response
