Autonomous Infrastructure Deployment

From bare metal
to battle-ready

Hardpan is an AI agent that takes a system specification and autonomously deploys, hardens, and accredits defense IT infrastructure. No manual STIG checklists. No 6-month ATO timelines. No humans in the loop.

The Problem

Manual hardening is killing deployment velocity

The DoD spends hundreds of millions annually on manual STIG compliance. Every new system takes weeks of hand-configuration, checklist reviews, and accreditation paperwork before it can go live. In an era where adversaries move at machine speed, we're still deploying infrastructure at human speed.

How Hardpan Works

Four phases, zero manual steps

01
Ingest Spec
Feed Hardpan a system architecture document. It parses requirements, identifies OS/network topology, and selects applicable STIG profiles.
02
Deploy & Harden
Autonomously provisions infrastructure, applies STIG hardening, configures MLS boundaries, and locks down every surface.
03
Validate
Runs full SCAP assessment, maps controls to NIST 800-53/800-171, documents waivers, and generates the System Security Plan.
04
Accredit
Assembles the complete ATO package, including POA&Ms, risk assessments, and evidence artifacts. Ready for ISSM review.
Capabilities

Built for defense infrastructure teams

Full STIG Automation

Applies and validates all applicable STIG benchmarks automatically. Covers RHEL, Windows Server, network devices, databases, and application stacks.

NIST Control Mapping

Maps deployed configurations to NIST 800-53 and 800-171 control families. Generates evidence artifacts for every control automatically.

ATO Package Generation

Produces complete System Security Plans, POA&Ms, risk assessments, and accreditation documentation. From 127 pages of manual work to an automated deliverable.

Multilevel Security

Understands cross-domain architectures and MLS boundaries. Configures thin client deployments, classification labels, and guard policies for multi-enclave environments.

Infrastructure should deploy at the speed of the mission

Hardpan exists because the people defending critical systems shouldn't spend months filling out checklists. The adversary doesn't wait for your ATO.
