Frequently asked questions

We work across the federal government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, the VA, the Intelligence Community, and civilian agencies. Our team holds active security clearances and understands the unique procurement, compliance, and governance requirements each agency operates under.

SURV stands for Strategic Utilization of Resources for Value. It reflects our core philosophy: every engagement should maximize the value of existing resources — people, systems, data, and budget — before recommending new investment. We deliver outcomes, not overhead.

We staff lean, senior teams who embed with your organization rather than rotating junior consultants through. Our practitioners have direct federal experience, hold relevant clearances, and focus on outcomes your leadership can measure — not voluminous deliverables that sit on a shelf.

We hold positions on several government-wide and agency-specific contract vehicles. We also support clients through teaming arrangements with large and small business partners. Contact us for current vehicle details specific to your procurement needs.

Absolutely. Our cybersecurity practice specializes in the full RMF lifecycle, including ATO package development, continuous monitoring, and FedRAMP compliance. We have accelerated ATO timelines for multiple federal clients while maintaining rigorous security standards.

We take a responsible, mission-first approach to AI. We help agencies identify high-value use cases, pilot solutions with proper governance guardrails, and scale what works — all aligned with NIST's AI Risk Management Framework, relevant executive orders, and agency-specific AI strategies.
