Accomplishments

Under Hackney’s oversight, during 2023:
First, CSIOS’ Cyberspace Operations (CO) Division attained double Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 appraisals for CMMI Development and CMMI Services.


Second, the CO Division also certified its Cyberspace Operations services under quadruple International Organization for Standardization or ISO standards: ISO 9001, Quality Management System (MS); ISO 20000–1, Information Technology Service MS; ISO 22301, Business Continuity MS; and ISO 27001, Information Security MS. The scope of CSIOS' ISO certifications is to “Provision cyberspace operations (defensive, offensive, and information network operations) and cybersecurity services to U.S. Federal customers worldwide.” No other cyber firm in the U.S. has achieved this level of cyber services.


Third, CSIOS designed Continuous Improvement and Optimization Management Systems for the U.S. Army Futures Command’s C5ISR Center Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSSP) and the U.S. Transportation Command CSSP. As they defend their designated portions of the U.S. cyberspace domain, these customized Management Systems have allowed the 2 DOD CSSPs to continually improve the management of their operators, technologies, processes, services, and defended subscribers. Upon successful implementation, the U.S. Army C5ISR Center CSSP received ISO 9001, Quality MS and ISO 22301, Business Continuity MS certifications; the U.S. Transportation Command CSSP also attained ISO 9001, Quality MS certification status. As stated in each individual certificate, the scope of their ISO certifications is to “Provision Defensive Cyberspace Operations services to U.S. Federal subscribers worldwide in accordance with Executive, National, Federal, and Department of Defense cyber doctrine and requirements.” No other Federal Cybersecurity Service Providers (CSSPs), Network Operation Centers (NOCs), Security Operating Centers (SOCs), and Cybersecurity Integrity Centers (CICs) provisioning 24x7x365 cybersecurity services has attained these service management delivery levels.
