Serving government and industry since 1993.
Our Core Competencies
Three practice areas, delivered by an integrated senior team.
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)
Sentinel provides objective IV&V services across the full program lifecycle — requirements, architecture, integration, and acceptance testing. Our engineers deliver independent technical assessments that federal program offices rely upon to manage risk, protect schedule, and defend cost against contract requirements.
Information Assurance and Cybersecurity
Sentinel implements the Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, and continuous monitoring programs across federal, defense, and defense-industrial environments. Services include Authority to Operate (ATO) support, security engineering, vulnerability management, and formal audit preparation.
Enterprise Infrastructure Design and Implementation
Sentinel designs, builds, and migrates large-scale enterprise networks and systems for federal agencies, transit authorities, and defense contractors. Engagements span network engineering, systems integration, data center modernization, and secure cloud enablement across the continental United States.
CMMC Compliance in a Box (CCIB)
CCIB is Sentinel's turnkey path to CMMC certification for small and mid-sized contractors in the Defense Industrial Base. The bundle delivers everything required to reach compliance with NIST SP 800-171, meet DFARS 252.204-7012 obligations, and post an accurate score to the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).
Each engagement includes a hardened GCC High tenant, a complete System Security Plan and POA&M, policy library, evidence collection, and ongoing continuous-monitoring support — priced and scoped for organizations that cannot staff a full internal compliance program.
Vet-Owned, Vet-Driven, Vet-Ready.
Sentinel Federal IT Solutions is led by an Air Force veteran and founder/CEO whose service continues to shape the firm's culture and standards. Nearly half of our workforce has served in the United States Armed Forces, and the company is verified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. That heritage informs how we staff programs, how we communicate with our clients, and how we deliver on commitments.
