This project achieved compliance readiness in under 90 days—without slowing development.

Challenge

The client faced strict compliance requirements, limited visibility, and a high risk of lateral movement.

Solution

ECIS implemented a zero-trust architecture in AWS GovCloud with identity-aware access and centralized logging.

Overview

A critical supply chain compromise introduced risk across multiple federal environments through a trusted software dependency. The challenge was not just containment—but doing so without breaking compliance or disrupting mission-critical systems.

Solution

ECIS executed a coordinated response across cloud and on-prem environments:

  • Rapid indicator-of-compromise (IOC) identification and sweep
  • Enforcement of network segmentation and outbound controls
  • Expansion of centralized logging and correlation rules
  • Immediate updates to SSP, POA&M, and risk documentation

Impact

  • Prevented lateral movement across all affected environments
  • Maintained full compliance posture during active incident response
  • Established long-term supply chain risk monitoring capabilities

Why It Matters

Modern attacks don’t break in—they come pre-installed.
This engagement ensured that even trusted dependencies are continuously verified.

Before

  • Unknown exposure across systems
  • Trusted software became an attack vector
  • Limited visibility into third-party risk

After

  • Full IOC visibility across all environments
  • Segmented and controlled system boundaries
  • Continuous monitoring for supply chain threats
