Leidos and RegScale have joined forces to strengthen cybersecurity automation across U.S. federal defense and government environments. As cyber threats continue to target critical systems within the Department of War and other federal agencies, both companies are integrating Leidos’ UpHold Armor solution with RegScale’s Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform. Through this collaboration, the organizations aim to improve digital resilience while ensuring mission-critical systems remain fully operational.
As federal agencies manage increasingly complex digital infrastructures, security teams must balance operational readiness with strict compliance requirements. Therefore, this joint initiative focuses on automating security and compliance workflows that have traditionally required extensive manual effort and staffing. By reducing operational risk and simplifying security processes, agencies can shift resources toward mission-focused priorities instead of administrative overhead.
The integrated solution will first support the U.S. Air Force, followed by broader adoption across additional War Department and federal agencies. With growing pressure to modernize cybersecurity frameworks, agencies require solutions that deliver real-time risk insights while maintaining strict compliance with federal security standards. As a result, the Leidos and RegScale partnership delivers a unified approach that embeds automated risk management directly into daily operations across both modern and legacy environments.

Leidos’ UpHold Armor platform plays a central role in this effort by embedding automated risk management into routine workflows. At the same time, RegScale’s CCM platform continuously monitors security controls and automatically collects compliance evidence. This combined approach enables agencies to maintain continuous Authorization to Operate (ATO) readiness instead of preparing only during periodic audits. Additionally, the solution helps agencies meet federal security requirements such as NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP without increasing operational complexity.
“Security and risk management should enable the mission, not get in the way,” said Leidos Digital Modernization President Steve Hull. “By partnering with RegScale, we’re helping our customers move faster and stay secure while remaining focused on mission outcomes.”
Furthermore, the partnership introduces a real-time compliance model that aligns with the evolving speed of federal digital transformation. Instead of relying on static, point-in-time security assessments, agencies can now continuously validate their security posture. Consequently, this reduces audit preparation time, improves security visibility, and strengthens overall cyber risk management.

“Leidos knows that government agencies need to accelerate and become more agile,” said Travis Howerton, co-founder and CEO of RegScale. “Together, we’re turning ATO into a continuous capability—so agencies can move at the speed of innovation and stay focused on securely delivering their mission.”
Another major advantage of the integrated solution is its ability to reduce the need for additional staffing resources while improving security outcomes. By automating compliance and embedding monitoring into everyday operations, agencies can transition from manual audits to continuous readiness. Moreover, this reduces operational costs, shortens audit cycles, and accelerates system deployment timelines.
Overall, the Leidos and RegScale collaboration reflects a broader shift in federal cybersecurity strategy toward automation, real-time compliance, and continuous risk monitoring. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and compliance requirements become more complex, federal agencies need scalable, automated solutions that support both security and mission execution. By combining automation, continuous monitoring, and embedded compliance workflows, Leidos and RegScale are helping federal organizations modernize cybersecurity operations while maintaining strict regulatory alignment and operational continuity.
