About ARTS
A.R.T.S: Expert Compliance and Security for Federal Contractors
Small federal contractors do real, important work. They should not need an in-house security team and a translator just to keep bidding. So we became that department, for hire, in plain English.

Founding Leadership and the Mission of A.R.T.S
Travis Reaux
Co-Founder | Anderson-Reaux Technical Solutions
Travis Reaux spent years watching capable contractors get blindsided by requirements no one had explained to them in plain terms. I started ARTS to be the person who explains it, and then does the work.
Nathaniel Anderson
Co-Founder | Anderson-Reaux Technical Solutions
Nathaniel Anderson has spent his career helping Department of Defense organizations turn cybersecurity requirements into programs people can actually follow. As a Cybersecurity Lead, ISSO, and Program Manager supporting the U.S. Navy, Army, Defense Health Agency, and U.S. Cyber Command, he has led technical teams, managed security assessments, and built risk management processes adopted across a regional command.
He co-founded ARTS with longtime colleague Travis Reaux to give businesses facing CMMC the same honest, practical guidance, without the jargon or the judgment. His approach is simple: security works when people understand why it matters.
Nathaniel holds CISSP, CGRC, Security+ CE, and CMMC Registered Practitioner credentials, along with a bachelor’s in business and an MBA from Western Governors University. He and his wife are raising six children.
The track record
Experience behind every package
How we work
The calmest, clearest partner in the room, on purpose
We made a deliberate choice to be the opposite of the crowded, jargon-heavy corner of this industry: no acronym soup, no fear tactics, and no sprawling service menu you need a consultant to decode.
When you work with us, you get plain-English answers, a real number up front, and a finished package you can hand to a prime or a contracting officer without flinching. We own the outcome so you can stay focused on the work you actually won the contract to do.
Under pressure
Here is what we have actually done when it counted.
A single compliance gap once put $700,000 on the line for a client. In 72 hours, we turned a potential loss into a recovery. The lesson from those three days shapes how we build every package today: for defensibility under real scrutiny, so it holds up the moment someone actually reads it.
