The following engagements represent the types of work JaMaxwell Global Solutions performs for federal and civilian organizations. Full case studies with named clients, metrics, and outcomes will be published as contracts and NDAs allow.
A federal agency was running multiple legacy applications on aging on-premises infrastructure. Systems were reaching end-of-life, maintenance costs were increasing annually, and the agency could not meet updated FISMA continuous monitoring requirements with existing tooling.
JaMaxwell assessed the existing environment, identified workloads suitable for cloud migration, and designed a target architecture on AWS GovCloud. We migrated 12 applications over 8 months using a phased approach: rehost for stable workloads, refactor for applications that needed performance improvements. Each application went through a full security assessment and received an updated ATO package.
The agency reduced infrastructure maintenance costs, met FISMA continuous monitoring requirements through automated tooling, and improved system availability. Authorization timelines shortened because the FedRAMP-authorized cloud environment provided inheritable controls.
A federal agency operating multiple interconnected information systems needed to understand its security posture ahead of an IG audit. The agency had documentation gaps across several system boundaries and inconsistent implementation of NIST SP 800-53 controls.
JaMaxwell conducted a control-by-control assessment across 5 system boundaries, interviewed system owners and ISSOs, reviewed existing SSPs and POAMs, and ran vulnerability scans using Tenable Nessus. We produced a consolidated risk register, updated SSPs for each system, and delivered a remediation roadmap prioritized by risk severity and audit timeline.
The agency closed 73% of identified findings before the audit window. Remaining items had documented POAMs with realistic milestones. The IG report showed marked improvement over the prior year's assessment.
An agency had three separate data platforms built over different contract periods by different vendors. Each platform stored overlapping datasets, used different schemas, and fed separate reporting tools. Program managers had no single view of operations and spent significant time reconciling data manually.
JaMaxwell mapped data flows across all three platforms, identified overlapping and conflicting records, and designed a consolidated data architecture. We built ETL pipelines to normalize data from all sources into a shared warehouse, then deployed a unified reporting layer using Tableau. We decommissioned two of the three legacy platforms after validating data integrity.
The agency went from three reporting tools to one. Program managers could pull cross-department reports without manual data reconciliation. The consolidated architecture reduced annual licensing costs and simplified the compliance boundary for future ATOs.
