Core Competency
Trusted partner for mission-critical automation and modernization across federal, state, and local government agencies. FedRAMP and StateRAMP authorized with Top Secret/SCI cleared teams delivering measurable results for defense, intelligence, civilian, and public sector operations.
Challenges
Government agencies face unique operational, security, and budgetary challenges that require specialized expertise and proven methodologies. Thalen Technologies delivers solutions that address these complex requirements while maintaining mission continuity.
Government agencies operate critical infrastructure on aging COBOL and mainframe systems that are expensive to maintain and difficult to integrate with modern technologies. These legacy systems create operational bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and limit the ability to deliver citizen services efficiently.
Meeting stringent federal security standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, and CMMC requires specialized expertise and continuous monitoring. Agencies must balance mission effectiveness with rigorous compliance requirements while protecting sensitive data and maintaining operational security.
Federal IT budgets face increasing scrutiny with mandates to demonstrate measurable ROI and cost savings. Agencies must modernize aging infrastructure while reducing operational costs, often with limited resources and competing priorities across multiple mission-critical systems.
The federal workforce faces a skills gap as experienced personnel retire and new technologies emerge. Agencies must train existing staff on modern automation tools while competing with private sector for technical talent, all while maintaining continuity of mission-critical operations.
Our Solutions
Comprehensive automation and modernization services designed specifically for federal requirements, delivered by cleared professionals with deep government experience.
We implement comprehensive zero-trust frameworks that exceed federal security requirements while enabling operational agility. Our approach includes continuous authentication, micro-segmentation, and real-time threat detection across all network layers. Every solution is designed with FedRAMP High authorization in mind, incorporating defense-in-depth strategies that protect sensitive data while maintaining mission effectiveness.
Our automation strategies align directly with agency mission objectives, delivering measurable improvements in operational efficiency and citizen service delivery. We analyze existing workflows to identify high-impact automation opportunities that reduce manual processing time by an average of 85% while maintaining full compliance with federal regulations. Each implementation includes comprehensive change management to ensure successful adoption across the organization.
Our Top Secret/SCI cleared engineers and consultants have decades of combined federal experience, enabling us to work on classified systems and sensitive operations. We provide end-to-end ATO support including security control implementation, documentation preparation, and continuous monitoring setup. Our team has successfully achieved 50+ federal ATOs across multiple agencies and impact levels.
We leverage agile methodologies tailored for federal environments, delivering working capabilities in 30-day sprints while maintaining full documentation and compliance requirements. Our RAPID Framework accelerates time-to-value through iterative development, continuous stakeholder engagement, and automated testing pipelines. This approach reduces typical project timelines by 40% compared to traditional waterfall methods.

State & Local Compliance
StateRAMP (State Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the state and local government equivalent of FedRAMP, providing a standardized approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud services.
StateRAMP is a nonprofit organization that provides a standardized approach for state and local governments to assess and authorize cloud service providers. It was created to address the unique security and compliance needs of state and local agencies while reducing duplication of effort across jurisdictions.
State and local governments face similar security challenges as federal agencies but often lack the resources to conduct independent security assessments of cloud providers. StateRAMP authorization signals that a platform has been rigorously vetted for government use.
| Aspect | FedRAMP | StateRAMP |
|---|---|---|
| Target Audience | Federal agencies | State & local governments |
| Authorization Levels | Low, Moderate, High | Level 1, Level 2 |
| Security Controls | NIST 800-53 (federal) | NIST 800-53 (adapted for state/local) |
| Data Residency | US-based (GovCloud) | State-specific options available |
| Reciprocity | Across federal agencies | Across participating states |
| Cost & Timeline | $500K-$5M, 12-24 months | $100K-$1M, 6-12 months |
Growing number of states recognizing StateRAMP as acceptable security framework
Cloud services that have achieved StateRAMP authorization
Average reduction in time-to-authorization for state agencies
We help state and local agencies implement StateRAMP-authorized platforms and navigate the authorization process for custom solutions. Our team has successfully deployed StateRAMP-authorized infrastructure for DOTs, health departments, law enforcement agencies, and municipal governments across multiple states.
Success Story
Real-world results from our federal automation engagements demonstrate the measurable impact of strategic automation combined with deep compliance expertise.
Featured Success
Transformed manual workflows into intelligent automation while maintaining Top Secret/SCI compliance, reducing processing time from 6 weeks to 2 days.
This large civilian agency was struggling with paper-based workflows that created bottlenecks across multiple departments. Our team implemented a comprehensive RPA solution with AI-assisted document processing, integrated with existing legacy systems through secure APIs. The solution achieved FedRAMP Moderate ATO in 8 months and delivered immediate operational improvements while maintaining full NIST 800-53 compliance.
