Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Clear Answers to Common Defense and DIB Questions
This section addresses the questions we hear most often from program offices, security leaders, and contracting teams.

 
CMMC
What level of CMMC support does Taurean provide?
Taurean supports CMMC readiness, gap assessments, remediation, evidence development, and sustainment. Our focus is on defensible compliance aligned to operational reality.

Do you help with evidence collection and audit preparation?
Yes. We emphasize traceable, audit-ready evidence that reduces rework and supports repeatable assessments.

 
RMF / ATO
Can Taurean support full RMF execution?
Yes. We support RMF from system categorization through ATO and continuous monitoring, including control implementation, documentation, and assessor coordination.

Do you work in classified or classified-adjacent environments?
Yes. Taurean maintains a TOP SECRET Facility Clearance (FCL) and supports high-assurance environments.

 
MDR vs SOC
What’s the difference between MDR and a SOC?
MDR typically provides outsourced detection and response using vendor platforms. A SOC includes engineering, tuning, integration, and mission-aligned operations. Taurean focuses on engineered SOC capabilities aligned to mission requirements.

Do you replace internal teams?
No. Our model augments and strengthens internal teams, providing engineering depth, operational support, and scalability.

 
AI & Automation
Does Taurean use AI in operational environments today?
Yes. We deploy applied AI for cyber operations, compliance automation, and converged security—with governance, explainability, and human oversight.

Do you support Responsible AI requirements?
Yes. Our AI implementations align with federal and DoD AI principles, emphasizing transparency, security, and lifecycle control.
