Network services for government & regulated industries: Network engineering shaped by the sector you work in.
Government agencies, regulated enterprises and multi-site companies each work under different constraints. Arpgate designs, secures and operates networks around yours, in the USA and internationally.
01 · Government & Public Sector
Modernize public networks without disrupting public services.
Agencies run essential services on networks that have grown over decades. Budgets are fixed, change windows are narrow and every decision needs a paper trail.
Typical challenges
- Aging hardware and flat networks that are hard to secure and harder to change.
- Zero trust goals that must coexist with legacy applications built for a trusted LAN.
- Many buildings, sites and contractors, each with its own standards.
- Strict expectations for documentation, change control and audit readiness.
How Arpgate helps
- Segmented designs with identity-based access enforced by 802.1X network access control.
- Zero trust network access (ZTNA) to private applications, phased in alongside existing VPN.
- Standard site templates, configuration baselines and as-built documentation.
- Controls designed with frameworks like NIST SP 800-53 and NIST CSF in mind.
02 · Defense & Mission Partners
Team experience supporting US and NATO initiatives.
Our engineers bring experience from network projects supporting US and NATO initiatives in Afghanistan. Arpgate brings that discipline to defense contractors, integrators and organizations that support government programs, where schedules are fixed and networks have to work the first time.
Team experience
US · NATO
Our engineers bring experience from network projects supporting US and NATO initiatives in Afghanistan.
Team works on-site and remote, in line with US regulations.
Typical challenges
- Remote or constrained sites where bandwidth, power and physical access are limited.
- Several organizations and contractors sharing infrastructure, each with different access needs.
- Fixed stand-up timelines with little room for rework once equipment ships.
- Contract requirements that call for documented, repeatable security controls.
How Arpgate helps
- Repeatable site designs, with routing, switching, firewall and wireless configurations built and tested before deployment.
- Clear separation between organizations using segmentation and next-generation firewall policy.
- Physical installation, labeling and testing, so every site can be supported from its documentation.
- Security controls designed with frameworks like NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC in mind.
03 · Healthcare
Clinical networks that stay available and stay segmented.
Care depends on the network: clinical applications, imaging, voice and a growing fleet of connected medical devices. Downtime affects patients, and every unmanaged device is a potential entry point.
Typical challenges
- Connected medical and IoT devices that cannot run security agents.
- Reliable coverage and roaming for clinicians who move between floors and buildings.
- Protecting patient data while staff, guests and vendors share the same facilities.
- Maintenance windows that are hard to find because care never stops.
How Arpgate helps
- Device profiling and segmentation with network access control, including agentless devices.
- Enterprise wireless designed from site surveys for voice, roaming and density.
- Next-generation firewall policy for clinical, guest and vendor zones.
- Controls designed with HIPAA in mind, and change plans built around clinical schedules.
04 · Financial Services
Segmented, auditable networks for regulated financial operations.
Banks, credit unions, insurers and investment firms answer to examiners and customers alike. The network has to isolate sensitive systems, show who accessed what and keep every branch connected.
Typical challenges
- Cardholder data environments that must stay isolated from everything else.
- Branch networks that need consistent security without local IT staff.
- Remote and third-party access that widens the attack surface.
- Frequent evidence requests from audits and examinations.
How Arpgate helps
- Segmentation and firewall policy designed with PCI DSS in mind.
- Standardized branch builds with consistent routing, switching and next-generation firewall policy.
- Zero trust access for employees and vendors, with ZTNA and a cloud-delivered secure web gateway.
- Rule base reviews, configuration baselines and documentation that support your audits.
05 · Education
Campus networks that handle every device, every day.
Schools, colleges and universities support students, faculty, guests and building systems on shared infrastructure, often across many buildings of different ages and on tight budgets.
Typical challenges
- High-density wireless in lecture halls, libraries and residence halls.
- A wave of personal devices to onboard at the start of every term.
- Student data privacy and web filtering obligations.
- Aging closets and cabling spread across buildings from different eras.
How Arpgate helps
- Enterprise wireless designed for density, roaming and coverage.
- Self-service onboarding and role-based access with network access control.
- Web security and filtering policy through a cloud-delivered secure web gateway.
- Closet refreshes: racking, fiber, patch panels, labeling and testing.
06 · Commercial & Multi-site Organizations
One network standard for every site you operate.
Retailers, manufacturers, professional firms and growing companies often add locations faster than their network standards can keep up.
Typical challenges
- Every site built differently, so every outage starts a new investigation.
- Little or no IT staff at branch locations to diagnose problems.
- Hybrid work that moved users and applications off the corporate LAN.
- Problems discovered only when users call to report them.
How Arpgate helps
- Repeatable site designs and bills of materials for fast, consistent rollouts.
- Racking, cabling, AP mounting and on-site turn-up at each location.
- Zero trust access and a secure web gateway to protect users and applications wherever people work.
- Managed network services for monitoring, maintenance and support across every site.
Compliance
Engineered with your compliance framework in mind.
We design network controls with frameworks like NIST SP 800-53, NIST CSF, CMMC, HIPAA and PCI DSS in mind, aligned to your compliance requirements. Your assessors and auditors make the determination. We make sure the network and its documentation are ready for that review.
-
Step 01
Map requirements to controls
We translate the framework your organization follows into concrete network controls: segmentation, access control, logging and encryption.
-
Step 02
Build controls into the design
Controls live in the architecture and the configuration baselines, not in a spreadsheet added after go-live.
-
Step 03
Document the evidence
Diagrams, configurations, policies and change records organized so your team can answer assessor questions quickly.
