What We Do
Full Lifecycle Cloud Services
NIRA's Cloud Infrastructure services cover the full lifecycle — from strategy through operations. Because NIRA also specializes in advanced research and development in cloud computing, semantic web, and AI, we design infrastructure that is ready to host next-generation analytics and AI capabilities from day one.
Cloud Strategy & Architecture
We work with CIOs, business owners, and security teams to define cloud strategies, reference architectures, and roadmaps that align with agency objectives, enterprise architectures, and federal Cloud Smart guidance.
Application & Data Migration
Our engineers plan and execute migrations of legacy applications and databases to commercial and government cloud environments, modernizing configurations while preserving mission functionality and data integrity.
Cloud-Native Modernization
Where appropriate, we re-platform and refactor systems into cloud-native services, microservices, and serverless patterns to improve elasticity, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
We implement infrastructure as code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and automated monitoring so agencies can deploy, update, and recover environments consistently and repeatably.
Operations, Optimization & FinOps
Our teams provide ongoing cloud operations support — capacity management, performance tuning, cost analysis, and optimization — so agencies get maximum value from their investments.
Secure & Compliant by Design
Security Is Foundational, Not an Afterthought
Security and compliance are foundational to our cloud work. We help agencies complete cloud migration while maturing cybersecurity and enabling AI-powered operations. Our ISO-aligned quality, service-management, and information-security practices reinforce disciplined, repeatable delivery for sensitive government workloads.
- Align architectures with federal security directives, including Zero Trust strategies, continuous monitoring, and cloud-operations best practices
- Implement role-based access control, encryption, logging, and auditing that support FISMA, privacy, and records-management requirements
- Design environments that can safely host AI-enabled analytics and targeting systems without compromising data protection or mission integrity
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
CPSC is modernizing its technology and data platforms to support a cloud-smart, AI-enabled future — including completing migration of mission systems to secure, scalable cloud environments.
This work supports CPSC's broader strategy to transition mission systems to cloud-based platforms, advance cybersecurity maturity, and enable AI-powered targeting and real-time data integration. By pairing our experience in systems engineering, financial management, and advanced cloud technologies, NIRA is helping CPSC improve performance and resilience while laying the groundwork for modern, data-driven operations.
- Migrated public-facing and mission-critical applications to secure, scalable cloud platforms
- Conducted thorough infrastructure assessments to identify dependencies, compatibility issues, and migration risks
- Maintained uninterrupted operation of mission-critical services throughout the migration
- Implemented proactive risk mitigation with contingency plans, rollback procedures, and coordination with system owners
- Supported CPSC's broader strategy to advance cybersecurity maturity and enable AI-powered targeting and real-time data integration
