Who ATLAS helps

Built for organizations where invisible technology risk is expensive.

ATLAS is sequencing its growth deliberately: serving the markets where it can deliver clear value today, while expanding into higher-trust-barrier work only when the necessary controls, credentials, insurance, and partnerships are ready.

Current focus

Where ATLAS is focused today.

These are the strongest initial fits for the Exposure Snapshot, Full Audit, remediation support, and SOC 2 or EU AI Act readiness work.

Current focusYear 1 PriorityIP ProtectionSOC 2 ReadinessDeveloper Security

High-Growth Tech & Professional Services

The risk

Technology companies and professional services firms hold their most valuable assets entirely in digital form.

Common findings

Proprietary source code in public GitHub repositories; client confidential information submitted to AI tools under model-training-permissive terms; developer shadow environments containing production customer databases; unauthorized SaaS accumulating across rapid-growth headcount; duplicate tooling across product teams.

What ATLAS delivers

Automated public-repo reconnaissance; AI ToS analysis; Shadow SaaS financial audit with consolidation map; IP exposure remediation report and developer security policy framework.

Current focusYear 1 PrioritySOC 2SOXPCI-DSS

FinTech & Regional Banking

The risk

Shadow IT creates invisible data pathways that break audit logging and monitoring continuity required by SEC, FINRA, SOX, and PCI-DSS mandates.

Common findings

Personal AI tools summarizing earnings calls containing MNPI; unauthorized automation routing customer account data; overprovisioned trading platform licenses; former contractors retaining core-system access; customer data shared via never-expiring public links.

What ATLAS delivers

SOC 2 Type II readiness assessment; PCI-DSS cardholder data environment mapping including shadow flows; FINRA-relevant audit documentation; unauthorized pathway identification and remediation dispatch.

Non-PHI-bearing scope today; PHI-touching engagements fall under Healthcare below.

Gated expansion

Visible, but not overstated.

Healthcare and defense-adjacent work are meaningful future opportunities. ATLAS will not present them as fully mature offerings before the required operational safeguards are in place.

Gated expansionYear 2 EngagementHIPAABAAPHI Protection

Healthcare & BioTech

The risk

Clinical workers uploading patient records to unapproved AI tools represent an immediate HIPAA compliance concern.

Common findings

Clinical staff using consumer AI tools to summarize patient notes; unapproved cloud storage containing PHI outside BAA-covered environments; former-employee EHR access never deactivated; medical device data through unauthorized integrations; research data exported to personal devices.

What ATLAS delivers

Complete tool verification for clinical/admin staff; identification of every PHI-handling tool without a signed BAA; HIPAA compliance gap report mapped to 45 CFR Part 164; prioritized remediation roadmap.

ATLAS is sequencing this vertical as a Year 2 engagement, gated until a HIPAA BAA workflow, E&O/cyber insurance, and either a completed audit credential (CISA, in progress) or a credentialed partner are in place. PHI is never stored in an ATLAS-controlled system under our zero-data architecture — but we do not lead with this vertical uninsured or uncredentialed.

Gated expansionYear 2–3 EngagementCMMC 2.0FedRAMPDFARS

Defense-Adjacent & Government Contractors

The risk

CMMC 2.0, FedRAMP, and DFARS compliance require complete visibility into every tool touching CUI. CMMC 2.0 Phase 2's November 2026 deadline makes this time-sensitive.

Common findings

Shadow SaaS containing CUI outside authorized enclaves; developer tools syncing to personal cloud accounts; former-contractor credentials never revoked; AI tools ingesting source code under training-permissive terms; unapproved CI/CD pipelines.

What ATLAS delivers

The CMMC 2.0 Readiness Audit — readiness consulting, not official certification (accredited C3PAO required, ATLAS is not one). A founder background including active Secret clearance and experience connected to ODASW(Log) — a genuine trust asset for this ICP.

ATLAS Advisory is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with the U.S. Department of War (formerly the Department of Defense) or any of its components; see About for the founder's full background and disclaimer. Sequenced as Year 2–3; realistic entry is the CMMC 2.0 Readiness Audit via Method B + Method C through partnership or prime flow-downs — not a solo Method D engagement.

Not sure where your organization belongs?

ATLAS typically works with organizations of roughly 50 to 1,000 employees that manage sensitive data, have grown quickly, or need a clearer view of technology cost and access risk.

Start with the problem you can quantify.

We will help you determine whether the first question is financial waste, access risk, Shadow AI, or a regulatory deadline.
