Cybersecurity Design for DoD Facility‑Related Control Systems (FRCS)

Expert Cybersecurity for DoD, Contractors, and A&E Firms

Charrette and Preliminary Design

Collaborative workshop for designers, cybersecurity experts, and stakeholders to align FRCS system scope, interfaces, and security requirements, followed by a review that confirms FRCS architecture, RMF categorization, and control selection meets specifications and is ready for detailed design.

Design Phase Services

We guide FRCS designs through the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), embedding cybersecurity into architecture, system categorization, and control selection in full compliance with UFC 4‑010‑06 and UFGS 25 05 11. Our deliverables include boundary, zone, and data‑flow diagrams, control correlation identifiers (CCIs), tailored NIST SP 800‑53 control sets, and specification content—all structured for smooth RMF package submission.

Construction Phase Services

Independent third‑party cybersecurity review during construction for all Facility‑Related Control Systems (FRCS)—including Fire Life Safety (FLS), Electronic Security Systems (ESS), Building Automation (BA), and HVAC—in full compliance with DoD UFGS 25 05 11 and UFC 4‑010‑06.
