FISMA Modernization

Infrastructure sourcing for FISMA-aligned environments — mapped to NIST SP 800-53 controls and the zero-trust mandates in EO 14028 and OMB M-22-09, TAA- and §889-screened.

Overview

FISMA is your program to certify — the infrastructure is ours to source

The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (44 U.S.C. 3554) makes each agency head responsible for an agency-wide security program: periodic risk assessments, subordinate system security plans, management, operational and technical controls tested no less than annually, and incident detection and reporting. NIST's Risk Management Framework and SP 800-53 are the path to implementing it. Uniqcli doesn't certify that program or replace your authorizing official — we source and integration-test the networking, security, compute and storage your team deploys to satisfy the technical controls behind it, TAA- and §889-screened on every line.

What's driving the buy

Zero trust, event logging and EDR are rewriting the hardware list

Executive Order 14028 (May 12, 2021) pushed federal security toward zero-trust architecture, mandatory multifactor authentication and encryption, a government-wide endpoint detection and response initiative, and standardized cybersecurity event logging. Each of those lands as concrete hardware or software on a modernization plan, not just a policy line.

OMB Memorandum M-22-09 (January 2022) set specific zero-trust targets across five pillars — Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications and Workloads, and Data — with an end-of-FY2024 milestone. Phishing-resistant MFA means FIDO2/WebAuthn or PIV, not SMS or push; every device needs to be inventoried and feeding EDR; DNS and HTTP traffic gets encrypted and flat trusted networks give way to isolated, segmented environments. We quote the equipment those targets require, mapped to the SP 800-53 controls your assessors will test.

  • Phishing-resistant MFA hardware — FIDO2/WebAuthn keys, PIV/CAC readers
  • Endpoint detection and response sensors and platform licensing
  • Encrypted-DNS resolvers, TLS inspection and network segmentation switching
  • SIEM and log-aggregation storage sized for federal event-logging requirements

Controls to capability

SP 800-53 control families, mapped to what we source

FISMA compliance stays the agency's to certify. These are the infrastructure categories we supply so your systems can meet the controls your assessors evaluate — no Uniqcli certification implied, just the equipment behind the control.

SC-7 · Boundary Protection

Next-generation firewalls, managed-interface gateways, VPN and encrypted-tunnel appliances, and segmentation switching for the DMZs and isolated subnetworks the control calls for.

AU · Audit and Accountability

SIEM and log-aggregation appliances plus high-throughput storage sized for the cybersecurity event-logging requirements EO 14028 established.

CP-9 / CP-10 · Contingency Planning

Backup appliances, immutable and alternate-site storage, and redundant secondary systems for the system backup, recovery and reconstitution CP-9 and CP-10 require.

IA · Identification and Authentication

FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys, PIV/CAC smart-card readers and the ICAM hardware behind phishing-resistant multifactor authentication.

SI · System and Information Integrity

Endpoint detection and response sensors and platform licensing for the government-wide EDR initiative EO 14028 directs.

SC · System and Communications Protection

FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules and encryption hardware where the requirement calls for validated crypto.

CM · Configuration Management

Endpoints and network gear standardized, imaged and hardened to a known-good baseline, staged before delivery.

SR · Supply Chain Risk Management

TAA (FAR 52.225-5) and NDAA §889 screening on every line — the country-of-origin and covered-manufacturer diligence that supports supply-chain risk work, documented with the quote.

  • One accountable partner across networking, compute, security and storage
  • GPC / P-Card accepted up to threshold; no payment up front on quoted orders
Questions

FISMA modernization questions

Can Uniqcli make our systems FISMA compliant?

No vendor can. FISMA compliance is your agency's own program under 44 U.S.C. 3554, certified through your authorizing official and the NIST Risk Management Framework. What we do is source and integration-test the infrastructure your team deploys to meet the SP 800-53 technical controls — TAA- and §889-screened — so the hardware and software side of your modernization clears procurement cleanly.

How do the zero-trust mandates change what we need to buy?

Executive Order 14028 and OMB M-22-09 push agencies toward phishing-resistant MFA, endpoint detection and response, encrypted DNS and HTTP, and segmented networks. Each translates into specific equipment — security keys and PIV readers, EDR sensors, segmentation switching, log storage. Send your target architecture and we'll quote the bill of materials mapped to the controls your assessors test.

Do you screen for TAA and §889 on security hardware?

Every line, before it's quoted. We document TAA country of origin under FAR 52.225-5 and confirm the manufacturer and its affiliates aren't on the §889 covered list. That diligence ships with the quote, not as a surprise after award.

Can you support our continuous-monitoring and logging requirements?

We supply the infrastructure behind them — SIEM and log-aggregation appliances, high-throughput storage sized for federal event-logging requirements, and EDR platform licensing — so your continuous-monitoring program has the hardware and software it needs. Operating the program stays with your team.
