HALF-DAY EXECUTIVE WORKSHOP
Transforming Public Sector Trust
From Manual Compliance to Continuous Assurance Hosted by Apollo Information Systems + DigitalXForce
THE CHALLENGE
Public sector leaders are being asked to do more with the same: strengthen security, prove compliance across overlapping mandates, and adopt AI responsibly — all without adding headcount or operational overhead.
Yet most agencies still run on periodic assessments, fragmented evidence collection, spreadsheets, and repeated audit cycles across overlapping frameworks. These approaches consume the very resources that modernization and mission delivery depend on.
This is not a slide presentation. It is a working session — with live demonstrations and practical playbooks — showing how agencies move from periodic validation to continuous trust: continuous control assurance, automated benchmarking, and measurable risk reduction.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
- A clear operating model for replacing manual, point-in-time compliance with always-on control assurance — without expanding your team.
- Live proof of automated benchmarking against IRS Publication 1075, CIS Benchmarks, and DISA STIGs across cloud, databases, and operating environments.
- A practical framework for governing AI adoption — discovery, trust assessment, and red teaming — aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
- A repeatable approach to turning compliance findings into measurable, prioritized improvement plans.
- Candid peer perspective from public sector security, compliance, and technology leaders facing the same pressures.

See how agencies can shift from manual compliance activities to continuous evidence collection, automated testing, and always-on assurance, establishing continuous visibility into security and compliance posture rather than periodic snapshots.
Key Discussion Areas
- Automating technical control validation across multiple frameworks
- Reducing audit preparation cycles and operational burden
- Creating continuous visibility into security and compliance posture
- Building a sustainable operating model without increasing headcount.
SESSION 2
Benchmarking Government Readiness: IRS 1075 + CIS / STIG Automation
Chief AI Officer
DigitalXforce
Field CISO
Apollo Information Systems
Experience a live demonstration of automated security and compliance benchmarking against public sector requirements, continuously assessing readiness, generating evidence automatically, and converting findings into measurable improvement plans.
Key Discussion Areas
