Three capabilities, and a commitment to senior-only delivery, that place Fortis Data Group in a very small pool of cleared database engineering consultants in the United States.
Numbers that reflect real engineering on active federal programs, not marketing projections.
These are not marketing claims, they are operational realities backed by active program experience.
Active, concurrent production experience across AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and GCP through a live $1.3B federal modernization program. We advise on cross-cloud tradeoffs from real engineering experience, not vendor documentation or classroom certification. Most consultants have depth in one, maybe two clouds. We have operated all four in parallel within a federal compliance context.
Public Trust Clearance and DoD Secret Clearance clearances held concurrently as a U.S. citizen. This is uncommon and enables immediate engagement on both civilian agency and military programs without clearance processing lead time. For federal prime contractors, this means a cleared database consultant ready to work on sensitive and classified programs from day one, no waiting, no uncertainty.
Currently leading the architectural transition from SAP MobiLink occasionally-connected replication to Apache Kafka event-driven architecture in a U.S. Navy maritime program, where ship-based databases must maintain data integrity under denied satellite connectivity. This combination of legacy depth and modern architecture experience during an active DoD transition is genuinely rare in the federal consulting market.
Every engagement is led and executed by a senior practitioner with 11+ years of hands-on production experience. We do not use junior engineers as primary resources and bill them at senior rates. When you engage Fortis Data Group, you get senior practitioners whose credentials match the proposal — no knowledge transfer exercises, no surprises on delivery.
Proven track record delivering performance, cost, migration velocity, and risk reporting directly to government executives, agency leadership, and federal program management offices. We translate complex database engineering problems into cost, risk, and mission outcome language that resonates with decision-makers, not just technical teams.
FedRAMP, FISMA, DoD RMF, and SOX compliance are built into our architecture from day one, not retrofitted after design. We have operated inside federal compliance boundaries throughout our career, which means we do not slow programs down with compliance learning curves. We move fast inside the boundaries.
Dual clearances enabling immediate engagement on civilian and military programs nationwide.
Public Trust Clearance clearance supporting federal civilian programs including IRS, U.S. Department of Treasury, and other civilian agency engagements under FedRAMP and FISMA compliance requirements.
Active Department of Defense Secret clearance supporting military and DoD program engagements including current work with U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command under DoD RMF compliance requirements.
U.S. citizen with existing Secret clearance. Eligible for higher clearance sponsorship when program requirements dictate. No foreign national conflicts. Available for programs requiring TS/SCI with appropriate sponsor.
Federal engagements, subcontracting, advisory, and proposal support. Both clearance levels welcome.
