What Artemis Federal does

Artemis Federal, LLC is a privately held, SBA 8(a)-certified Woman-Owned Small Business that has provided information security consulting services to U.S. federal government clients since 2015. The firm is headquartered in Catonsville, Maryland, with an expanding presence in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan and Baltimore region. Its primary customer segment is federal civilian and defense agencies requiring cybersecurity compliance, security assessment and authorization, and independent verification and validation under FISMA, NIST, and related federal frameworks. Ownership and leadership are concentrated with founder/President/CEO Layla Flack, alongside VP/Senior Business Advisor James Ford and Senior Director Alex Maciulaitis.

The company delivers professional services through three core offerings: FISMA Compliance Services, Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), and Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A). These are supported by a broader catalog of approximately twenty specialized capabilities, including Risk Management, Threat Intelligence and Analysis, Penetration Testing, Incident Response, Cyber Hunt, Continuous Monitoring, Supply Chain Risk Management, Privacy Program Support, High Value Asset Assessments, and Cyber Training and Awareness. The firm is certified on the GSA MAS Schedule Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (54151HACS, contract vehicle 47QTCA20D00EK) across all HACS subcategories including High Value Asset Assessment. Underlying technology is conventional professional services delivery built around cleared personnel holding industry certifications (CRISC, CAP, Security+, CEH, CISSP, CISA, CISM); no proprietary platform, API, SDK, or AI/ML model is disclosed.

Artemis Federal generates revenue through federal contract awards executed via the GSA HACS vehicle and other federal procurement channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as professional services billing typical of cleared-cybersecurity consulting. The company is privately held with no disclosed outside investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity on record. Distribution is concentrated exclusively through U.S. federal government procurement, with no commercial or international expansion evident.
