Unclear CUI and FCI Handling
Controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information (FCI) can end up in email, shared folders, and laptops without clear boundaries. Knowing where it lives is the first step to protecting it.

Cybersecurity & Managed IT for Government Contractors
Federal and defense contracts now come with real security expectations, including the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-171. Kayak Cyber helps small and midsized contractors put practical technical controls in place, monitor them, and keep evidence organized. We fully manage IT or co-manage alongside your internal team. We support your readiness work and do not promise certification or assessment results.

Where Government Contractor IT Usually Breaks Down
Contractors win work on their mission skills, then find that security requirements arrive with the contract. Small IT teams end up stretched between daily support and a growing list of control questions.
NIST and CMMC Pressure
NIST SP 800-171 lists many technical and process controls. Without a clear view of what is in place, it is hard to plan the work or answer a contracting officer with confidence.
Prime Contractor Questionnaires
Prime contractors pass security requirements down to subcontractors and send questionnaires to check them. Gathering accurate answers and proof takes time your team may not have.
Small IT Teams Stretched Thin
One or two people often handle the help desk, projects, and security. Logging, access reviews, and documentation slip when daily tickets come first.
How Contractors Get Practical Security Support
We focus on the technical side: controls that run every day, logs that get reviewed, and evidence you can find. Your team keeps ownership of policies and decisions, and we do the hands-on work with you.
Access Control and Identity
We tighten Microsoft 365 and Entra ID sign-in with multifactor authentication and conditional access, in commercial tenants or GCC High. Privileged access management limits who holds administrator rights.
Logging and Monitoring
Centralized log monitoring, also called security information and event management (SIEM), and managed detection and response give you visibility into sign-ins, endpoints, and firewalls. A security team reviews the alerts.
Evidence You Can Find
Vulnerability scan reports, patch records, backup results, and access reviews are kept organized. That helps you answer questionnaires and prepare for assessments.
Co-Managed Support
Your internal IT team keeps its knowledge of your business. We add security depth, project help, and coverage so daily tickets do not crowd out control work.

Government Contractor IT FAQs
Do You Help Contractors Prepare for CMMC?
We help with the technical controls, monitoring, access control, logging, and evidence that CMMC expectations rely on. We do not perform official CMMC assessments, which are done by authorized third-party assessors, and we do not promise assessment results.
How Do You Help Protect CUI and Federal Contract Information?
We help you set access, encryption, monitoring, and backup practices around the systems that hold this information. Your contract and contracting officer define which data counts as CUI. Once the scope is clear, we help apply the controls.
Can You Help with Prime Contractor Security Questionnaires?
Yes. We help you gather accurate technical answers and supporting evidence from your environment. Your team reviews and signs off on what is submitted, and we cannot promise that a prime contractor will accept the answers.
Can You Work with Our Internal IT Team?
Yes. Our co-managed IT model suits contractors that already have IT staff. We take on monitoring, security projects, and control work alongside your team and share what we find in plain language.
Do You Offer Fully Managed IT for Small Contractors?
Yes. Contractors with no IT staff can have us run the help desk, device management, patching, backups, and security monitoring under one plan.
Can You Support Microsoft 365 GCC High?
Yes. GCC High is Microsoft's government cloud for contractors that handle CUI or export-controlled data. We support and secure GCC High tenants, and we help you decide whether you need GCC High or whether a commercial tenant fits your contracts. Microsoft decides who is eligible to buy GCC High.
What Are Your Support Hours?
Our help desk is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central time, which is 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern. We are closed on holidays. Security monitoring runs 24 hours a day, every day, so alerts are watched outside help desk hours.
Where Do You Support Government Contractors?
Kayak Cyber is based in the Oklahoma City metro and supports clients across the United States, with current clients in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, and Arizona. We deliver monitoring, help desk, and security operations remotely, and we coordinate onsite work when a project needs it.
