Bridging the Gap Between
Regulation
& Reality
Founded by Pat Flesher in 2006, pf Pulliam was built on a single premise: Compliance should enable the mission, not obstruct it.
For over two decades, we have transformed security from a cost center into a strategic asset. We bridge the divide between the rigid "Alphabet Soup" of federal frameworks (NIST, FISMA, RMF) and the agile needs of modern business. We don't just help you pass an audit; we engineer security programs that withstand the scrutiny of assessors and the attacks of adversaries alike.

Why Organizations Trust pf Pulliam
In an industry flooded with automated tools and junior analysts, we provide the one thing that cannot be automated: Experience.
No "B-Team"
We don't bait-and-switch. Unlike large firms that sell you a partner and staff you with juniors, pf Pulliam deploys experts with decades of experience (avg 28+ years) to handle your project personally.
The Educator's Edge
We don't just practice risk management; we teach it. As the power behind The Cyber Training Academy, our consultants are the same instructors who train the federal workforce on current standards.
Rapid Mobilization
Business waits for no one. Our organizational structure is flat and agile, allowing for immediate resource deployment—whether for emergency incident response or urgent contract deadlines.
The "Paper Shield"
"If it isn't documented, it didn't happen." We specialize in defensible documentation that limits liability, satisfies auditors, and ensures your Authority to Operate (ATO) is never in question.
Core Capabilities

Cognitive Orchestration
Agentic AI & Automation
We don't just sell "Chat." We engineer the autonomous workflows that turn legacy processes into competitive velocity, reducing overhead and human error.
