For Federal · SDLC Playbook
For Federal & Regulated

Built by federal contractors,
for federal contractors.

SDLC Playbook started as the internal SDLC at Anglicotech, a software firm building nuclear-grade systems for the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. We turned a working compliance process into software, and now we’re selling it back to the market that needs it most.

Frameworks Covered

Mapped to every framework federal buyers ask about.

NIST 800-218
Secure Software Development Framework. All 28 practices mapped at MVP.
CMMC L2
Practice mapping for DoD contractors. Evidence vault is audit-ready.
NIST 800-171
CUI handling controls integrated into the playbook engine.
FedRAMP-ready
Architecture designed for FedRAMP Moderate. AWS GovCloud deployment available.
The Three Moments That Close Federal Deals

Three questions every CCO asks.
Three answers we built for.

QUESTION 01

“Show me your SSDF posture.”

Every NIST 800-218 SSDF practice mapped to a real playbook activity, with live evidence counts. Practices with full coverage, partial coverage, or gaps are clearly visible.

Two minor gaps are flagged before the auditor finds them. The compliance binder that used to be a quarterly project is now a live view.

QUESTION 03

“What happens when someone needs to override?”

The federal closing question. Hard blocks are not unbypassable. They are bypassable with a paper trail.

Justification, approver, follow-up task, audit tag. The override is logged to the Action Log and Evidence Vault, the on-call is paged, the follow-up task is created with a due date. The auditor sees the override, the reason, and the resolution.

Process that bends without breaking.

Security & Deployment

Built for environments where data sovereignty matters.

Deployment options

SaaS on AWS commercial. AWS GovCloud single-tenant. Azure Government. On-prem available for federal customers with full air-gap requirements.

Data isolation

Every customer’s evidence vault is isolated. No shared storage, no cross-tenant data access. SOC 2 Type II target by end of Q3 2026.

AI model governance

Customer choice of Anthropic Claude (commercial), Azure OpenAI on Azure Government, or on-prem open-source models for fully air-gapped deployments.

Audit attribution

Every action attributable to a user, agent, and integration. SHA-256 cryptographic anchoring. Tamper-evident export. Reads like a legal record.

Federal program

Free 90-day pilot for
federal contractors.

First five federal design partners get free access in exchange for reference rights. Mapped to your specific contract requirements.
