Security & Compliance
Classified. Compliant. Auditable.
Our team holds active security clearances and has deployed AI inside classified networks. Every system we build meets federal compliance standards before it goes anywhere near production.
Compliance Framework
These are not aspirational benchmarks. They are the baseline requirements for every system we deliver into federal and defense environments.
NIST 800-171 Rev 2
We implement all 110 security controls required to protect Controlled Unclassified Information in nonfederal systems. Access control, audit logging, incident response, and configuration management built in from the start.
DFARS 252.204-7012
Full compliance with DoD’s cybersecurity clause for defense contractors. Rapid cyber incident reporting, CUI safeguarding procedures, and media preservation requirements are built into our delivery process.
FedRAMP
We design AI systems to operate within FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments. When federal agencies require it, we scope and architect to FedRAMP Moderate and High baselines from day one.
FISMA
Every federal system we build is designed within the FISMA risk management framework. We support agencies through ATO processes, system security plan development, and continuous monitoring requirements.
CMMC
We design AI systems with CMMC readiness in mind for defense contractors in the certification pipeline. Our implementations align to CMMC Level 2 and Level 3 practice domains as required by contract scope.
IL4 / IL5
Our team has hands-on experience deploying systems at DoD Impact Level 4 and Impact Level 5. We understand the infrastructure requirements, data handling restrictions, and operational constraints at each level.
How We Build
Every architectural decision we make assumes an adversarial environment. These practices are not optional hardening steps. They are how we build.
Data is encrypted at rest and in transit using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules. Tenant and classification boundaries are enforced at the infrastructure level, not the application layer.
We have deployed AI in environments with no external internet connectivity. When the mission requires it, we architect and deliver systems that operate fully disconnected, with no dependency on external APIs or cloud endpoints.
Every AI decision, inference call, and data access event is logged with timestamp, user context, and input/output records. Audit logs are immutable, tamper-evident, and exportable for compliance review.
Every model version is tracked, signed, and stored in a controlled registry. Promotion to production requires documented approval. Rollback capability is built in. No unauthorized model updates reach a running system.
Access to AI systems, model outputs, and underlying data is gated by role with least-privilege enforcement. We implement attribute-based controls where classification and need-to-know requirements demand it.
Real-time monitoring pipelines feed into centralized SIEM integration. Anomaly detection, alerting thresholds, and automated incident flagging run continuously. Nothing waits for a quarterly review to surface a problem.
Personnel
Cleared personnel are available for classified engagements. Our team has operated inside classified networks and understands the operational and administrative requirements that come with that access.
We do not publish clearance levels publicly. If your program requires cleared support, contact us directly. We will confirm fit through the appropriate channels.
BaileyFinch is an SBA-certified SDVOSB registered in SAM.gov with CAGE Code 9ZDW1. We are structured for federal contract vehicles and understand the procurement environment our clients operate in.
If the environment is sensitive, we are already built for it.
