What We Do
Edwards helps government and commercial organizations strengthen cybersecurity and compliance, build capable teams, improve performance, and prepare for disruption.
Start with the challenge in front of you. We shape the support around your organization and stay close to the work until the next step is clear.
Cybersecurity & Compliance
Edwards helps organizations understand their cybersecurity requirements, identify gaps in their current security program, and determine what needs to happen next. We support CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness, cybersecurity assessments, security testing, risk management, and ongoing cybersecurity leadership.

Performance Management
Edwards helps organizations bring structure to complex projects, improve visibility into performance, strengthen project oversight, and fix processes that make work harder than it needs to be.
Edwards helps establish the plans, schedules, roles, reporting, and day to day management structure needed to keep projects and programs organized and moving forward.
