Architecture Governance for Defense

Structural intelligence for mission-critical systems where architectural failure is not an option

The Defense Challenge

Defense software systems support mission-critical operations where architectural failure can have consequences measured in human lives, not just revenue. These systems must meet CMMC, ITAR, and DoD-specific requirements while operating in environments where the attack surface is constantly probed by sophisticated adversaries. Architectural governance is not optional — it is a mission requirement.

Key Capabilities

Mission-Critical SPOF Analysis

Identify single points of failure in mission-critical code paths — command and control, communications, sensor fusion, logistics — where architectural failure compromises operational capability.

CMMC Architectural Evidence

Map architectural findings to CMMC Level 2 and Level 3 practices. Produce evidence for asset management, access control, and system integrity practices extracted from code structure.

Secure Architecture Baseline

Establish an AST-parsed architectural baseline for comparison across releases. Detect unauthorized structural modifications that could indicate supply chain compromise.

Air-Gapped Deployment Support

Axiom scans process code locally without requiring external network access. Results can be exported in standard formats for review in classified environments.

Why Defense Teams Choose Axiom Refract

  • Defense systems face the most sophisticated adversaries — understanding structural attack surface is not optional, it is operational necessity
  • CMMC compliance requires documented architectural controls — automated evidence generation reduces compliance burden on cleared contractors
  • Defense acquisition programs require technical assessment of contractor-delivered systems — Axiom provides the structural intelligence for acceptance decisions
