SBIR TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
M-RAMPS
SBIR Topic: N221-031 | Phase III Contract Eligible
M-RAMPS integrates cybersecurity risk models directly into the systems engineering lifecycle — enabling program managers to assess, plan, and mitigate cyber risk as a first-class engineering concern rather than a compliance afterthought.
Traditional cybersecurity risk assessment happens in isolation from systems engineering decisions. By the time a risk management framework assessment surfaces a vulnerability, the engineering baseline may have already been set — making remediation expensive and disruptive. M-RAMPS closes this gap by embedding mission-focused risk models into the engineering planning process itself, giving decision-makers visibility into how design choices affect cybersecurity posture before those choices are locked.
The platform translates cyber risk into engineering terms — schedule impact, cost exposure, and mission degradation — so that program managers and systems engineers can make informed trade-offs without requiring dedicated cybersecurity expertise at every design review.
MISSION ALIGNMENT
M-RAMPS supports any program where cybersecurity risk intersects systems engineering decisions — from early-phase design trades through sustainment planning. Applicable across surface combatants, submarine platforms, aviation systems, autonomous vehicles, and enterprise C4I architectures where engineering change has cascading cyber implications.
