Lensatic

Public sector cyber frameworks are thick woods. Lensatic is the compass.

  • Framework Maps shows what each public sector cyber framework is for, how the frameworks relate and who each one binds.
  • Field Guides walks the eight-week Zero Trust route: a shared core, then a track for where you work, with one-page references.
  • Playbook holds Agentic SecOps, a tradecraft playbook for red, blue and purple teaming in the age of Agentic AI.

Why 'Lensatic'

My lensatic compass, open, with the sighting wire raised.

A lensatic compass is the Army's field compass. You sight a landmark through its lens, read the bearing off the dial, and move out knowing which way you're headed. Lensatic does the same for the framework stack: find where you stand, see which framework applies, and take a bearing on what comes next.

I learned land navigation with one in the Army and have kept it for more than 20 years. This one is mine.
