GOVERNMENT

Secure Public-Sector Communications From the Device to the Mission.

Public-sector mobility is a security challenge.

Government personnel operate across offices, public networks, field environments, remote locations, and sensitive facilities.

ASPIS combines secure communications, Mobile Threat Defense, device security, identity, policy, centralized governance, and flexible deployment for public-sector environments.

Public-Sector Mobility Is a Security Challenge.

Threat actors target the mobile endpoint because it can provide access to identity, communications, credentials, location, and government systems in a single compromise.

THE PROBLEM

What agencies are defending against

State, local, education and federal agencies operate in some of the most targeted environments there are, under some of the most explicit mandates.

01Nation-state and ransomware campaignsAimed at disrupting operations, compromising sensitive data and destabilizing public infrastructure — not at extracting a payment from a single office.
02Mobile espionage tradecraftSIM swaps, rogue base stations and zero-click exploits designed specifically to bypass defenses built for laptops and email.
03Insider risk and unmanaged devicesUnauthorized data exfiltration from compromised or unmanaged endpoints, often in sensitive or classified environments where the consequence is disproportionate.
04Mandates that specify the evidenceFISMA, FedRAMP, CJIS, CMMC and NIST 800-53 require data confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and traceability — not a general assurance of good practice.
05Environments that resist modern toolingAir-gapped networks, classified facilities and legacy systems make secure mobile communication and endpoint protection genuinely hard to implement at scale.
06Consumer platforms filling the gapWhere no sanctioned mobile channel exists, coordination moves to public messaging apps — outside agency control, outside the record.

Controlled Multi-Agency Communication

01Agency to AgencyFederation between departments governed by explicit policy rather than open directory access.
02Agency to ContractorTime-bound, scoped communication relationships with contractors and integrators.
03Field PersonnelSecure communication from public networks, remote locations, and field environments.
04Public Safety CoordinationCross-jurisdiction coordination during incidents and emergencies.
05Device SecurityDetection of espionage indicators, rogue networks, and device manipulation.
06Governance EvidenceCentral administration, audit history, and policy record for oversight.
CAPABILITIES

Capabilities for public sector

Drawn from the SLED & Federal Government use case and the ShieldiT Defense white paper. Availability varies by deployment.

01

Mission-grade communications

  • End-to-end encrypted voice, video and messaging designed for government environments.
  • Federation controls managing communication across departments, agencies, contractors and partners.
  • Complete isolation from public messaging platforms.
02

Mobile threat defense

  • Continuous protection against mobile malware, spyware and zero-click exploits targeting government personnel.
  • Defense against SIM swaps, rogue access points and device tampering.
  • Enforced device health checks and posture verification before access to sensitive systems is granted.
03

Identity and access

  • Granular role-based access mapped by agency, department, clearance level and mission role.
  • Secure provisioning and rapid deactivation across multiple government domains.
  • Interoperability with Azure Government AD, CAC/PIV authentication and other approved identity providers.
04

Deployment and oversight

  • On-premises, air-gapped, private cloud or government cloud deployment.
  • Operates with or without MDM/EMM integration.
  • AuditBot logging and privileged action monitoring; secure export to government compliance databases, SIEM and XDR.
  • Tamper-resistant, immutable audit logs for investigations and after-action review.
  • Multi-tenant governance separating users by region, department or clearance level.

Capability availability varies by edition, configuration and deployment model.

Programs and Frameworks

Supports programs associated with the following frameworks. FedRAMP is referenced only in qualified deployment and architecture terms; contact ASPIS for current authorization status.

ASPIS supports customer programs aligned with these frameworks and is designed to help address requirements associated with them. ASPIS does not represent that it holds authorization under any of them; coverage depends on edition, configuration and deployment model.

OUTCOMES

What the architecture is designed to achieve

Design intent, not measured results, and not a statement of any authorization status.

01Zero-trust mobile operationsOnly compliant, trusted devices reach sensitive systems, across classified and unclassified communication alike.
02Controlled multi-agency collaborationAuditable communication between agencies, departments, contractors and vetted external partners without relying on public platforms.
03A reduced mobile attack surfaceContinuous posture enforcement and on-device threat defense in place of consumer applications operating outside agency control.
04Evidence built for oversightImmutable logging and export designed to support audit readiness against U.S. federal and state standards.
05Continuity in degraded conditionsOperation in disconnected, low-bandwidth and tactical environments, so a network failure is not a communications failure.
06One platform instead of severalVoice, video, chat, mobile threat defense and governance consolidated rather than assembled from separate procurements.

These describe what the architecture is designed to do. ASPIS makes no representation about results in any particular environment.
