Building the Future of Certified Software
ICDEV™ is an open-source platform that eliminates the gap between engineering and compliance. We pioneered agentic engineering — AI systems that autonomously build, test, and certify applications with deterministic reliability and full compliance traceability.
The Problem We Solve
In traditional development, engineers write code. Compliance officers write paperwork. The two groups work in parallel but rarely coordinate.
When an auditor asks a question, engineering stops. When a STIG check fails, tickets pile up. When code changes break compliance documentation, nobody notices until the next assessment.
ICDEV™ eliminates this gap. We treat compliance as a natural output of engineering. When our platform builds a system, it generates the SSP at the same time. It maps NIST 800-53 controls, collects evidence, produces the SBOM, and creates the complete ATO package.
The Cost of the Gap
- 560 hours of manual security assessment per system
- $2.4M average FedRAMP authorization cost
- 12-18 months from code-complete to ATO
- 40% of engineering time on compliance paperwork
- Documentation outdated before ink dries
What We Built
GOTCHA Framework
6-layer architecture separating AI orchestration from deterministic execution. Goals, Orchestration, Tools, Context, Hard prompts, Args. Reproducible, auditable, never probabilistic.
ATLAS Methodology
Executable build process: Architect, Trace, Link, Assemble, Stress-test. AI agents follow it autonomously, producing architecture, traceability, code, and compliance in one flow.
15 AI Agents
Domain-specific agents for orchestration, architecture, building, compliance, security, infrastructure, MBSE, requirements, supply chain, simulation, DevSecOps, and more. Collaborating via A2A protocol.
30+ Compliance Frameworks
One NIST 800-53 control maps to FedRAMP, CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more via our dual-hub crosswalk engine. Implement once, satisfy many.
Continuous ATO (cATO)
OSCAL-formatted evidence streamed continuously. Every commit triggers evidence collection. Documentation stays current, complete, and audit-ready at all times.
Genesis Engine
Always-on daemon with 13 autonomous reflexes. Scans CVEs, audits code quality, generates tests, refreshes compliance evidence. Your platform improves while you sleep.
Our Technology Stack
Compliance Automation
SSP, POAM, STIG, SBOM, CUI marking, control mapping, FedRAMP/CMMC assessment, OSCAL export, classification management. All deterministic. All audit-ready.
Security Engineering
SAST, dependency audit, secret detection, container scanning, prompt injection defense, AI telemetry, MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM Top 10, agentic trust scoring.
DevSecOps & Zero Trust
Pipeline security, policy-as-code (Kyverno/OPA), service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), NIST 800-207 ZTA maturity across 7 pillars, 5 maturity levels.
MBSE & Requirements
SysML import, DOORS NG ReqIF, digital thread with N:M linking, model-to-code generation, conversational intake, SAFe decomposition, boundary impact analysis.
Our Approach to AI
AI should amplify human expertise, not replace human judgment. Every AI decision is traceable. Every AI action is auditable. Every AI output can be explained.
Local Models
Routine tasks: compliance export, narrative generation, document processing. Zero cloud API calls. Air-gap safe.
Draft + Review
Local models draft. Cloud models review. Cuts API usage 40% while maintaining quality.
High-Stakes
Most capable models for architecture, requirements intake, and stakeholder content.
