Zero Trust Security Architecture
Comprehensive zero-trust implementation with identity verification, micro-segmentation, and continuous monitoring.
Cybersecurity & DevSecOps
Cybersecurity support for teams that need secure delivery, cloud hardening, and compliance discipline together.
IEC helps organizations build Zero Trust-minded controls, secure cloud and application delivery paths, and improve compliance posture without isolating security from the rest of the delivery system.

Capability Map
The work behind this service, and what we do it in.
Three areas of practice. The tools listed are the ones our engineers actually work in.
01
Identity and Zero Trust
We close the access gaps first, because most incidents start with a credential rather than an exploit.
- Identity and access design
- MFA and conditional access
- Least-privilege review
- Segmentation
- Okta
- Cloudflare
- Linux
02
Secure delivery pipeline
We put the checks inside the pipeline so security is part of shipping instead of the thing that blocks it.
- Pipeline security gates
- Dependency and supply-chain scanning
- Secrets management
- Container hardening
- GitHub Actions
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- Checkmarx
- Socket
03
Detection and response readiness
We make sure someone sees it, and knows what to do, before an incident becomes an outage.
- Logging and monitoring design
- Vulnerability triage by exploitability
- Incident runbooks
- Compliance evidence
- Splunk
- Grafana
- Prometheus
- Datadog
Who this serves
- Teams shipping cloud and application changes without enough security discipline
- Programs balancing delivery speed with compliance and risk pressure
- Organizations that need secure implementation choices, not only advisory decks
What changes
- Embed security into the delivery path instead of forcing it in after the fact
- Reduce operational risk across cloud, application, and release workflows
- Improve readiness for regulated, client-sensitive, or public-sector-adjacent work
What we deliver

Proof & credentials
Zero Trust delivery at DHS USCIS
IEC supported USCIS's Zero Trust transformation — conducting maturity assessments across all six pillars, co-authoring governance frameworks aligned with EO 14028 and OMB M-22-09, and developing readiness dashboards for phased migration. This is not a theoretical offering.
View capability statementFISMA and FedRAMP-adjacent experience
IEC has worked in federal environments with compliance-oriented delivery requirements. The same controls and accountability apply to commercial programs facing rising regulatory or client-driven security pressure.
