Our leadership combines military discipline with years of hands-on enterprise experience — including roles at Fortune 500 technology and cybersecurity companies.

Why Agencies Choose Us
Built for federal requirements.
Three things every agency partner should bring to the table — and we bring all three.
02
Veteran-Owned, Mission-Driven
SDVOSB and VOSB certified through the SBA. Military discipline meets Fortune 500 experience. We understand the mission because we've lived it.
03
Built for Federal Standards
From DoD-compliant cloud architectures to NIST-aligned cybersecurity frameworks, we design for mission assurance today — and as requirements evolve tomorrow.
What We Do
Cloud, security, and modernization
Cloud, security, and modernization
for the agencies that can't fail.
Six service pillars built around what federal agencies actually buy — from SCCA implementation through Zero Trust delivery and full managed services.
/01
Cloud Architecture & Migration
The foundation: design, build, and move workloads to the cloud — done right. We work across every major commercial and government cloud, designed around NIST and USG compliance from day one. And when straight lift-and-shift isn't the right answer, our "Move and Improve" approach modernizes as it migrates.
- Cloud Architecture Design (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI)
- DoD Impact Levels IL2 / IL4 / IL5 / IL6
- Cloud Lift & Shift / "Move and Improve" Migration
- Cloud Readiness Assessments
- Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Integration (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, on-prem)
- Cloud Web Hosting
/02
Security & Zero Trust
Zero Trust isn't optional anymore — it's mandated by Executive Order. We deliver end-to-end: gap assessment through future-state design through full implementation. Layered with cloud-native security operations that catch what rules-based tools miss.
- Zero Trust Architecture (Gap Assessment → Design → Implementation)
- Cloud Security Posture Assessment
- Network Detection & Response (NDR) for Cloud Environments
- Network Security & Microsegmentation
/03
Compliance & Authorization
The work mission systems can't ship without — and most contractors can't deliver. We specialize in the DoD's Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) and Cloud Security Requirements Guide (Cloud SRG) — the frameworks that make commercial cloud usable for sensitive and classified workloads at IL4, IL5, and IL6. From VDSS and VDMS design through ongoing authorization, we keep your cloud boundary defensible and your ATO current.
- Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) Implementation & Boundary Protection
- DoD Cloud Computing SRG Compliance — IL2 / IL4 / IL5 / IL6
- Virtual Data Security Stack (VDSS) — IDS/IPS, WAF, full-stack inspection between cloud and DoDIN
- Virtual Data Management Stack (VDMS) — identity, directory, logging, and management plane services
- FISMA / RMF Compliance Consulting
- Authority to Operate (ATO) Consulting
/04
DevSecOps & Modernization
Move past lift-and-shift. We build cloud-native, secure-by-default, automated end-to-end — the kind of pipeline that lets a federal program ship more often and audit more easily. Fully managed and built to the compliance baseline your authorization demands.
- DevSecOps Pipeline Implementation (managed, compliant, end-to-end)
- Application Modernization (legacy → cloud-native microservices)
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation)
- CI/CD Pipeline Design for Federal Environments
- Container Orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS)
/05
Data & AI Enablement
Federal agencies are sitting on enormous datasets that the mission can't yet use. Cloud is the unlock for AI/ML adoption — but only if the data foundation underneath is governed, classified, and accessible. We build that foundation.
- Cloud Data Lake & Data Warehouse Design
- AI/ML Platform Enablement
- Data Governance & Classification Services
- Data Pipeline Engineering (Palantir, Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake)
/06
Managed Services & Advisory
The cloud doesn't run itself after the architects leave. We stay on as operators, optimizers, and advisors — keeping infrastructure healthy, spend under control, and your team upskilled to take more of it in-house over time.
- Cloud Managed Services (operations, patching, monitoring)
- Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps
- Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
- Cloud Strategy & Roadmap Development
- IT Workforce Cloud Training
Partnership
Team up with Rios.
We're actively seeking partners — established firms and small businesses alike — to combine forces and serve federal agencies more completely than any of us could alone.
Whether you bring complementary capabilities, a prime-eligible vehicle, or specialized domain expertise, we'd like to talk. We pursue both joint ventures and subcontract arrangements, and we move at the pace federal mission timelines demand.

Beyond IT
Building a better future.
Our mission has always been bigger than technology. As a veteran-owned business rooted in service, we believe companies have a responsibility to give back — to their communities and to the planet.
That's why we're quietly working on something new. In addition to our federal IT work, Rios Enterprises is currently in research and development on a line of renewable energy appliances designed to make clean, sustainable power more accessible. We're not ready to pull back the curtain just yet — but we're building something we're proud of.
