Authority to Operate (ATO) & Federal Frameworks

Streamline DoD RMF, FISMA, NIST 800-53/171, and ATO processes using LLUCE’s compare-and-contrast architecture. Our AI-assisted governance delivers faster assessments and documentation for federal contractors and agencies seeking secure compliance.

APS Global LLC, a self-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), excels in helping organizations achieve and maintain Authority to Operate (ATO) under the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, and related federal standards. Led by Dr. Richard (Rick) Hansen, CISSP, CMMC Lead Certified Assessor (LCCA/CCA), our team integrates deep domain expertise with the proprietary Large Language Universal Compliance Engine (LLUCE) — specifically its CompassAPT solution.

Proven Acceleration in ATO & RMF Processes

Traditional ATO processes often take 90–120 days or more. With LLUCE + CompassAPT, we routinely reduce this dramatically — to 30 days or less — while maintaining exceptional accuracy under human oversight.

APS Global successfully completed a multi-year DISA ATO Accelerator Pilot, demonstrating significant improvements in review speed, accuracy, traceability, and automated POA&M generation.

How LLUCE + CompassAPT Delivers Results
