Company Size:

400+ Employees

Industry:

Department of Defense (DoD) Prime Contractor

Locations:

Palo Alto, Denver, Las Vegas, and Chantilly, USA

The Challenge

As a U.S. government contractor, Stellar Solutions was required to meet NIST 800-171 compliance—a strict cybersecurity framework designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The stakes were mission-critical:

  • Compliance was mandatory to maintain DoD contracts
  • Security controls had to withstand sophisticated internal and external threats
  • Infrastructure, policies, and systems needed to align with federal standards

Anything less than full compliance was not an option.

The FirmaTRUST Solution

FirmaTRUST partnered closely with Stellar Solutions as a strategic cybersecurity and compliance advisor, driving the transformation required to meet NIST standards.

We delivered:

  • Comprehensive infrastructure assessment and remediation strategy
  • Deployment of next-generation firewalls and advanced security controls
  • Implementation of compliant VPN solutions for secure access
  • Integration of enterprise-grade security management tools
  • Hands-on collaboration with internal security teams to ensure full alignment with NIST 800-171 requirements

We didn’t just recommend changes—
we engineered a secure, compliant environment built for federal-grade demands.

The Results

  • Successfully achieved NIST 800-171 compliance
  • Strengthened overall cybersecurity posture across the organization
  • Enabled continued eligibility for critical DoD contracts

Ongoing Impact
