What IASS does

IASS, LLC (doing business as IA Security Solutions) is a privately held, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business founded in 2013 and based in Williamsburg, Virginia, that delivers professional consulting services focused on federal cloud security and compliance. Its offerings cluster around four areas: FISMA compliance, FedRAMP and DIACAP Assessment and Authorization, artifact development and review for security packages, and AWS-based disaster recovery solutions including S3 backup, warm stand-by, and pilot light configurations with recovery times as short as 30 minutes. The firm was founded by the team lead responsible for the Air Force Safety Center's 3-year DoD cloud accreditation in May 2012, the first DoD Authority to Operate issued in the cloud, and that reference case anchors the company's positioning in the federal market.

The technology foundation is Amazon Web Services, deployed under IASS's APN Consulting Partner and Channel Reseller designations, which gives the firm access to AWS solutions architects and direct resale capability. Service delivery is project-based consulting rather than a packaged software product: IASS produces assessment and authorization documentation, advises on NIST RMF and FedRAMP/DIACAP controls, and designs cloud architectures for migration and disaster recovery. Documented differentiators include superior authorization package quality versus larger defense contractors (1.5 pages of Certification Authority questions against 26 pages for a major competitor in the same process) and SDVOSB status, which provides set-aside contracting eligibility in federal procurement.

The go-to-market is narrow and channel-dependent. IASS targets federal agencies, DoD components, and commercial buyers requiring FedRAMP-compliant cloud deployments, generating revenue through professional services engagements and AWS resale. Marketing channels are limited to organic social profiles (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and the AWS Partner Network referral ecosystem. Public material discloses no funding rounds, no revenue figure, no management roster, and a headcount of 1-10 employees, indicating a small, founder-led practice rather than a scaled government services platform.
