Threat Landscape

Why This Industry Is Targeted

The sectors and verticals we protect in this space.

Defense contractors and subcontractors Aerospace and space technology Federal IT service providers State and local government agencies Critical infrastructure operators Government SaaS and GovCloud vendors

Government contractors and defense suppliers are targets of nation-state cyber espionage. APT groups systematically target the defense industrial base (DIB) to steal Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), technical data, and intellectual property. The Department of Defense has responded with CMMC 2.0, which requires third-party assessment of cybersecurity practices for all contractors handling CUI. Central Florida has a massive defense presence -Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, L3Harris, and Northrop Grumman all operate in the region -creating a deep supply chain of subcontractors who must also meet CMMC requirements. Non-compliance means losing the ability to bid on DoD contracts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CMMC require penetration testing?

CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requires implementation of all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. While penetration testing is not a standalone CMMC requirement, it validates the effectiveness of your security controls and is strongly recommended as part of your assessment preparation. Many C3PAOs expect to see pentest results.

How is government penetration testing different?

Government engagements require additional operational security, controlled handling of findings, and alignment to specific frameworks (NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP). We scope our testing to focus on CUI boundaries, enclave security, and the specific control families relevant to your authorization or certification.

Can you help us prepare for a CMMC assessment?

Yes. Our penetration testing identifies gaps in your CMMC control implementation before your C3PAO assessment. We provide findings mapped to specific NIST 800-171 controls, so your remediation directly addresses assessment criteria. We also partner with audit firms that perform CMMC assessments.

Do you have experience with the Central Florida defense community?

Yes. Lorikeet Security is based in the Orlando metro area, home to major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, L3Harris, and Northrop Grumman. We understand the local defense supply chain and the specific compliance challenges subcontractors face.

Can you test GovCloud environments?

Yes. We test AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and other FedRAMP-authorized environments. We follow the cloud service provider security guidelines and coordinate with your cloud team to ensure testing stays within authorized boundaries.
