Federal and Defense

Engineering capability for federal programs

Fortis Data Group is a specialized data, cloud and AI engineering firm. We design, build, modernize, automate and operate data platforms and the cloud infrastructure beneath them across federal civilian and defense environments, directly and alongside prime contractor delivery teams.

Where Fortis fits on a federal program

Specialized engineering in the areas where programs most often stall: the database estate, the cloud infrastructure underneath it, the operations that keep both running, and the compliance posture all of it has to hold.

Database engineering and modernization

Full lifecycle work across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB, including legacy platform migration.

Data platform architecture

Target architecture chosen by access pattern and compliance boundary rather than by the platform already on contract.

High availability and disaster recovery

Clustering, failover automation, backup chain design and recovery procedures that have actually been tested.

Cloud infrastructure engineering and operations

Designing, building, automating, modernizing and sustaining cloud environments: compute, networking, storage, identity and Kubernetes, plus the landing zone, boundaries and hardening a program has to evidence at authorization.

AWS and AWS GovCloud

Primary platform, with production depth. Azure and Azure Government, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud supported where the estate requires it.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform and Ansible provisioning for compute, networking, storage and IAM, with control remediation delivered as code so the posture is reproducible rather than reapplied by hand.

Cloud modernization

Databases, integration and platform workloads moved into the target cloud with data integrity preserved, and hand-built infrastructure replaced with automated patterns that can be rebuilt from code.

Platform operations and DevSecOps

CI/CD, monitoring and observability, patching and upgrades, backup and restore verification, capacity planning and runbooks, with security enforced through the delivery pipeline.

Distributed and disconnected systems

Replication and event-driven architecture holding data integrity through extended loss of connectivity at the edge.

Data engineering

Pipeline engineering at multi-terabyte scale, with change data capture, bulk load and streaming patterns.

AI and GenAI data infrastructure

Retrieval, lineage, provenance and access control beneath AI systems, built so the output can be defended at review.

Performance engineering

Execution plan, wait statistic and I/O analysis aimed at root cause rather than symptom management.

Data at the core. Engineering depth around it.

Fortis is built around data engineering, supported by practitioners whose experience spans the infrastructure, reliability, security, analytics and AI disciplines required to deliver and operate modern data platforms in regulated environments.

Data and database platforms

Database modernization, CDC and replication, event streaming, ETL and ELT, lakehouse patterns, enterprise analytics and production operations across relational, NoSQL and analytical platforms.

Cloud and platform engineering

AWS GovCloud, AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI experience spanning Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes and EKS, networking, identity, hybrid infrastructure and repeatable cloud delivery.

Reliability, DevSecOps and security

SRE, observability, CI/CD, GitOps, incident response, RMF, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, vulnerability remediation, cloud security and audit readiness.

AI and advanced analytics

GenAI and RAG infrastructure, Bedrock and SageMaker, MLOps, Microsoft Fabric, Spark and PySpark, Databricks, BigQuery and AI-enabled analytics grounded in governed data.

Experience represented above includes relevant work performed by Fortis key personnel in prior and current professional roles. It is presented as key personnel experience, not Fortis Data Group corporate past performance.

Prime and subcontractor support

A prime engages Fortis when it needs specialized engineering capability and accountable technical delivery on a difficult workstream. Not another resume.

What you get

A scoped workstream, not a body

Fortis takes a defined technical scope with a stated outcome and is accountable for delivering it. Architecture decisions, engineering work and the evidence behind both come from the same place.

Who shows up

Senior engineering from first call

The people who scope the work are the people who deliver it. Fortis engagements are senior-led by design, not by constraint: the technical leadership that scopes a workstream stays accountable through implementation, and no account layer sits between your program manager and the engineers.

Constraints we work inside

Cleared, onshore, written first

Public Trust and DoD Secret held by our Founder and Managing Member mean no adjudication wait on cleared civilian and defense work. All work is performed inside the United States by U.S. persons. Scope, access and data handling are agreed in writing before an engagement starts.

Read the trust posture

Delivered engineering, not projections

These results reflect relevant key personnel experience from federal and enterprise programs performed in prior and current professional roles. They are not represented as Fortis Data Group corporate past performance.
