Information Assurance and Cyber Security
Mystek Systems provides a wide range of specialized Information Assurance and Cyber Security services tailored to secure Government mission environments. And we do it in the most cost effective, practical and extensible means to secure IT environments. Our unique organizationally tailored solutions identify and close technical and coverage gaps, integrate and optimize tools and processes.
Most government Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) do not comprehend everything connected to their network. As such, these CISOs suffer from anxiety due to their susceptibility to a breach despite ample technical capabilities. This is because the people and process integration is frequently immature, disjointed and adhoc – resulting in an inability to truly secure the mission!
Organizations often miss the mark and fail to realize the benefits of risk managed transformation processes:
- Legacy certification & accreditation has not truly evolved
- Pertinent risk criteria remains undefined
- Critical security controls are not mapped to technical capabilities
- Unresolved capabilities and coverage gaps exist
- Disjointed technical solutions and processes fail
- Risk decisions require heroic efforts to obtain pertinent info
- Senior leadership lacks necessary insight
- Computer network defense remains purely responsive
As threats increase and evolving technologies provide new attack vectors, Mystek provides mission-tailored cyber situational awareness, continuous monitoring and operational risk management solutions. Securing missions through the integration of people, processes and technology is Mystek Systems’ claim to fame. Our unique solutions are organizationally tailored to government environments ultimately delivering cost efficient cyber situational awareness, risk management and continuous monitoring through automation to deliver both pro-active and responsive cyber security solutions.
Mystek is familiar with and understands the challenges of transforming legacy processes into a risk managed solution in order to optimize processes, lower costs and further secure the environment. Mystek Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across the technical, transformational and risk management domains are experienced in guiding organizations through change and delivering optimized risk management cyber solutions. Our SMEs have proven expertise assisting IA and Cyber stakeholders through Risk Management transformation to enable the collection, correlation and effective use of critical technical artifacts throughout the engineering, operations, risk management and security roles of an organization. Without cyber situational awareness delivered through continuous monitoring and the ability to persistently understand residual risks, no organization can effectively secure their mission!
Responding to the constantly changing threat demands cyber intelligence – of both the adversary as well as the dynamic situational awareness of the customer environment. Mystek Systems is your solution!

The Mystek VMLC delivers an Enterprise POA&M integrating all findings and workflow.
Red Team, Blue Team and Penetration Testing
Mystek Systems provides independent verification and validation through a proven Independent Assessment Methodology (IAM) that simulates a specific adversary or targets a specific threat vector, identifies exposures and provides a full scope independent assessment targeting blanket vulnerabilities and configuration deficiencies. Mystek’s IAM is recognized for delivering actionable findings for quick high value tactical results, as well as root cause analysis enabling the ability to address systemic weaknesses.
Assessment & Authorization
Mystek Assessment & Authorization services enable transformation from a legacy paper and snapshot driven Certification & Accreditation to a highly automated and integrated process focusing on ICD-503 categorization, overlays, security controls and critical technical artifacts.
