ISEC7 SEVENCEES: Zero Trust Mobility and Meeting Evolving Public Sector Mandates

The public sector often faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to technology and operational flexibility. In a small city government office, a handful of IT professionals work tirelessly to manage cybersecurity, mobile device policies, and regulatory compliance. Their tools are often not up-to-date, their teams understaffed, and their budgets stretched thin. Yet, they are expected to meet the same rigorous security standards as federal agencies, without the same level of clarity or resources. This is the daily reality for many state and local government organizations. They must justify every investment, navigate a maze of evolving regulations, and secure increasingly mobile workforces, all while maintaining operational continuity.

The constant shift in regulations – whether related to cybersecurity, privacy, or procurement – requires continuous adaptation, which can strain already limited resources. The 2025 Executive Orders have intensified this pressure, reprioritizing cybersecurity across the public sector and placing post-quantum cryptography and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) at the forefront. These mandates demand secure-by-design principles, layered defenses, and systems that prevent lateral movement even if one layer is breached. For state and local agencies, however, these requirements often come with ambiguity. Unlike their federal counterparts, they face less defined guidance and must interpret how to implement these standards within their unique constraints. The result is a constant balancing act between innovation and compliance, between modernization and legacy systems, and between security and cost.

Implementing Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) programs adds another layer of complexity, demanding specialized expertise and rigorous adherence to National Security Agency (NSA) guidelines. Budget and procurement constraints frequently limit access to cutting-edge tools and technologies, making it difficult to keep pace with private sector innovations. Continuous monitoring for cybersecurity threats is essential but resource-intensive, and the need for flexibility in operations often clashes with bureaucratic structures and legacy systems. Altogether, these factors create a challenging environment where balancing innovation, compliance, and operational effectiveness is a constant struggle.

ISEC7 SEVENCEES, the new tailored mobile security framework services from ISEC7 Government Services, is designed to meet these challenges head-on. ISEC7 SEVENCEES leverages current technology investments, integrates seamlessly with legacy systems, and supports compliance with frameworks such as CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-207, and the NSA’s CSfC Mobile Access Capability Package. It is scalable to the size and needs of any agency, whether a small municipality or a large state government, and it delivers quantum-safe, Zero Trust security without requiring significant capital expenditures.

At the heart of ISEC7 SEVENCEES is ISEC7 SPHERE, the all-encompassing IT management and monitoring platform that provides insights into system health, compliance, and potential threats. ISEC7 SEVENCEES incorporates preexisting network elements, eliminating capital write-offs when deploying the framework, and extends a full suite of services to the retransmission access point, allowing for secure local area access for approved connected devices. This eases the administrative burden, enables device flexibility, and enables the use of classified devices with an enhanced level of security beyond what’s required from NSA.

The ISEC7 SEVENCEES framework is based on several key capabilities adaptable to meet customer needs including UEM flexibility, device agnosticism, redundancy for Dual Data-at-Rest (DAR)/Data-in-Transfer (DIT), Secure Voice, and crisis communication notification building off NSA’s CSfC Mobile Access Capability Package. As with CSfC deployments, end user devices connect through the internet through an Outer Tunnel to an intermediate network before connecting through an inner tunnel to an internal or air-gapped network. The solution automatically applies user/endpoint-specific network policy and leverages quantum resistant session keys to deliver secure, encrypted data transport and network micro-segmentation. It authorizes only those users allowed by network policy to access other endpoints and resources on the network. Defense in depth architecture leverages a quantum resistant outer Virtual Private Network (VPN) and inner business and operation specific tunnel (TLS, IPSEC or another quantum resistant option). This configuration enables cryptographic flexibility and security as the control is completely separated from the data in time and space. Cryptographic keys are delivered independently of the data, ensuring that an attacker cannot access both if one is compromised. 

Moreover, ISEC7 SEVENCEES supports the National Resilience Strategy by enabling secure mobility and remote access without compromising operational integrity. Its ability to enforce endpoint-specific policies and cryptographic separation of control and data planes ensures that even in the event of a breach, sensitive information remains protected. This is especially vital for agencies managing critical infrastructure or classified environments, where the stakes are highest.

The framework’s emphasis on compliance, containment, and coordination also aligns with the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA), which mandates timely detection and reporting of cyber incidents. ISEC7 SEVENCEES’ integrated monitoring and analytics capabilities provide real-time visibility into system health and potential threats, empowering agencies to respond swiftly and decisively. In short, ISEC7 SEVENCEES doesn’t just help agencies comply with mandates – it helps them thrive in a threat landscape that demands agility, resilience, and foresight. By bridging the gap between policy and practice, SEVENCEES empowers public sector leaders to modernize securely, deliver on their commitments, and protect mission-critical assets.

Finally, ISEC7 SEVENCEES facilitates clear communication of cybersecurity risks and investments to non-technical stakeholders by demonstrating how the platform’s capabilities directly support business objectives and regulatory compliance. This holistic approach ensures that businesses can effectively safeguard organizational assets and maintain resilience against evolving cyber threats. ISEC7 SEVENCEES provides a flexible framework that delivers great end-user experience and comprehensive, monitored, and managed end-to-end security to the endpoints, regardless of business needs. It also has the ability to integrate other elements as the business and security demands of the ecosystem evolve.

In an era where cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, the public sector needs a solution that not only addresses these challenges but also integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure to optimize costs and operational efficiency. As we consistently work with agencies at the federal level, ISEC7 Government Services has a firm grasp on the regulatory landscape and can help state and local organizations navigate and stay compliant with constantly changing standards. The holistic approach of the ISEC7 SEVENCEES framework simplifies the complex task of managing cybersecurity risks and maintaining compliance with stringent regulatory standards so that organizations can focus on strategic initiatives and business objectives – with a tailored framework that adapts to future security demands.

ISEC7 SEVENCEES provides a comprehensive, technology-agnostic solution ensuring quantum-safe security and robust protection for all endpoints. By leveraging existing network elements and offering a flexible, scalable solution, ISEC7 SEVENCEES empowers organizations to enhance their security posture without incurring significant capital expenditures.
