About Aquia

Aquia is a digital services firm specializing in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and compliance automation.

Named the 2024 “Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year” by the Department of Health and Human Services

We are passionate about helping government maximize outcomes and challenge the status quo — bringing a developer-centric approach to every engagement.

Since our founding, we’ve generated millions in cost savings through cloud services and licensing optimization, enabled civil servants to double health care fraud investigations through streamlined cloud-based systems, and reduced authorization timelines by 74% through modernized security processes.

WHAT WE DO

Develop and and deploy innovative cloud and cybersecurity technologies quickly — automating processes and reducing time to deployment.

  • Enabling organizations to develop and deploy mission applications faster via software factories and platforms.

  • Building and deploying Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions to streamline application development, security, and deployment processes.

  • Developing artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms to automate tasks and augment capabilities.

Gain stakeholder buy-in and implement application security initiatives to ensure resilient application environments.

  • Develop and implement a comprehensive zero trust security model, policy framework, and maturity roadmap aligned with federal guidelines.

  • Establish a robust governance program to discover, manage, and secure the organization's SaaS application footprint, including risk management, security control implementation, continuous monitoring, and centralized visibility.

  • Implement a holistic threat modeling program to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential security risks and vulnerabilities across applications, systems, and architectures throughout the system development lifecycle.

  • Deploy an integrated purple team combining offensive red team tactics with defensive blue team capabilities to proactively validate security controls, improve detection and response, and enhance overall cyber resilience through continuous security improvements.

Leverage cutting-edge technologies and flexible approaches to advance cloud and cybersecurity strategies.

  • Strategize, plan, and execute the migration of legacy on-premises infrastructure, applications, and data to modern cloud environments, leveraging security best practices, automation, cloud-native architectures, and cost optimization strategies to enhance scalability, resilience, security posture, and operational efficiency while minimizing cloud spend.

  • Architect and design secure, scalable, and resilient security frameworks, reference architectures, and solutions tailored to the organization's unique requirements, including for sensitive data, workloads, and compliance mandates.

  • Establish an insider threat program encompassing policies, procedures, technical controls, and continuous monitoring to detect, analyze, and mitigate potential risks posed by malicious insiders or negligent workforce actions.
