NEXAR SYSTEMS

National-Scale Cybersecurity Capability & Governance Engineering

Building Government-Grade Cyber Resilience Through Strategy, Regulation, and Technical Implementation

Supporting Government and Critical Infrastructure Through End-to-End Cyber Security Capability

We are a national-level cyber security capability firm with more than 13 years of operational experience, partnering with government and critical infrastructure organizations to design, implement, and sustain secure, resilient, and compliant digital environments across complex and evolving threat landscapes.

Integrated Cyber Security Strategy, Architecture, and Delivery

We design, implement, and govern cyber security as a core business capability, not a bolt-on technical function. Our work spans the full cyber lifecycle, from strategy and regulatory alignment through to secure architecture, engineering, and continuous maturity uplift, delivered through the following service areas:

Why We Are Authorized & Positioned to Deliver

Deep understanding of the FDRE National Cyber Security Policy & Strategy (NCSPS)

Experience with national-level coordination structures & CII protection

Technical strength across monitoring, audit, risk management & policy translation

Trusted advisors for compliance, regulatory design, and cybersecurity transformation

Close engagement with government, private sector, and international institutions

Our National Cybersecurity Delivery and Impact

Nationwide Cyber Security Transformation

We deliver cyber security programs at national and enterprise scale, supporting coordinated implementation across multiple agencies, jurisdictions, and operating environments. Our approach balances central governance with distributed execution, enabling consistency without constraining operational realities. We focus on building repeatable, scalable capability that can be sustained long after initial rollout.

Operating Models and Delivery at Scale

Effective cyber security requires more than controls, it requires the right operating model. We design and implement cyber operating models that integrate policy, governance, technology, and people across complex organizations. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, decision rights, funding models, and delivery mechanisms that support long-term resilience and accountability.

Measurable Outcomes and Assurance

Large-scale cyber programs must demonstrate progress and defensibility. We embed measurement, assurance, and reporting from the outset, enabling executives and regulators to clearly understand risk reduction, maturity uplift, and control effectiveness. Our focus is on evidence-based outcomes that stand up to scrutiny at board, audit, and regulatory levels.

Secure-by-Design National Architecture

We design secure, interoperable architectures that support modern digital services while protecting critical assets. Our architecture approach embeds Zero Trust principles, resilience, and identity-led security across enterprise and cloud environments. Security is engineered into platforms and services from inception, reducing systemic risk and long-term cost.

Regulatory Alignment and Policy Enablement

We translate national cyber strategies, legislation, and standards into implementable controls and processes. By aligning policy intent with operational reality, we help organizations meet regulatory obligations while maintaining agility. Our work ensures compliance is not a one-off exercise, but an integrated and sustainable capability.

Continuous Uplift and Threat Adaptation

Cyber threats evolve, and so must defensive capability. We enable continuous improvement through regular maturity assessments, threat-informed prioritization, and capability optimization. This ensures cyber security programs remain effective against emerging risks and changing operational demands, rather than stagnating after initial implementation.

Our Core Cybersecurity Capabilities

We deliver integrated cyber security capabilities that span strategy, design, delivery, and continuous improvement. Our approach ensures cyber security is not treated as a standalone technical function, but as a core business capability that supports organizational objectives, manages risk, and enables sustainable growth.

Strategy and Governance

We work with executive leadership to define cyber security strategies that are aligned with business priorities and risk tolerance. Our governance models establish clear accountability, effective oversight, and decision-making structures, ensuring cyber risk is managed consistently and transparently across the organization. This enables informed investment decisions and embeds cyber security into enterprise governance.

Regulatory Frameworks

We help organizations navigate complex regulatory and compliance landscapes by translating regulatory requirements into practical, achievable security controls. Our experience across industry and government frameworks ensures obligations are met efficiently while maintaining operational effectiveness. We support audit readiness and ongoing compliance without creating unnecessary burden.

Secure Architecture

Security is embedded into technology design from the outset. We design secure, resilient architectures across enterprise, cloud, and application environments, balancing protection with usability and performance. Our architecture services reduce systemic risk, improve resilience, and ensure security supports digital transformation rather than constraining it.

Implementation

We turn strategy and architecture into action. Working alongside internal teams, we implement security controls, processes, and technologies in a way that is pragmatic, scalable, and sustainable. Our delivery-focused approach ensures security initiatives achieve real outcomes and are adopted effectively across the organization.

Maturity Measurement

We provide an objective view of cyber security capability through structured maturity assessments and benchmarking. By measuring current state against recognized frameworks and industry best practice, we help organizations understand where they stand, priorities investment, and track progress over time with confidence.

Continuous Improvement

Cyber security is an evolving discipline. We support organizations in continuously improving their security posture in response to emerging threats, business change, and regulatory developments. Through ongoing assessment, optimization, and advisory support, we help build long-term cyber resilience and adaptability.
