What Others say

"Working with Sam is a bright spot in my working career. Watching him analyze and pinpoint an area of concern within a complex system, whilst simultaneously seeing the system as a whole demonstrates his unique and valuable skill sets. Namely, the flexibility and knowledge required to telescope quickly and accurately between a system and its component parts, targeting and fixing the vulnerabilities without compromising the system as a whole. Oh, and the best part? He does all of this with a great attitude, an upbeat personality, and a laugh that makes my day."

About

Sam Crupper, CISSP

From the front lines of cyber defense to compliance expertise, Sam's journey is one of relentless protection and strategic innovation. As a U.S. Army Reserve Cyber Operations Officer, Sam held a leadership role on a Cyber Protection Team comprising elite professionals, training for high-stakes missions where he orchestrated system surveys, dissected risks, and crafted mitigation strategies amid chaos—skills forged in the fire of leadership that taught him the art of transforming challenges into effective solutions. With a Bachelor of Science in Engineering sharpening his analytical edge, he carried this disciplined mindset into the private sector, working as a full-stack developer and DevOps engineer at Envisage Technologies. There, he built and maintained enterprise applications, scripted cloud infrastructure provisioning in AWS, and addressed FedRAMP security issues collaboratively. Rising to Cloud Infrastructure Manager at Vector Solutions, he steered a FedRAMP Moderate-authorized SaaS platform through three successful annual audits, mastered significant changes, efficiently handled dozens of POAMs and deviation requests, and even designed Contingency Planning and Incident Response exercises that kept his team battle-ready. Implementing NIST 800-53 controls—the bedrock of CMMC, GovRAMP, and FedRAMP—he integrated security technologies like SIEM systems and Tenable Nessus scans in a sprawling AWS GovCloud setup with over 170 servers, all while balancing security with budget and breakthroughs.

​

Today, as founder and principal consultant at Crupperware, Sam channels this rich experience into advisory services that demystify compliance for organizations pursuing CMMC, GovRAMP, and FedRAMP certifications. As a Subject Matter Expert at ManTech, a powerhouse defense contractor laser-focused on cybersecurity and technology, sees him collaborating intimately with clients in high-security realms, drawing on his high-level DoD clearance to deliver process improvements and technical prowess. Holding his CISSP along with advanced training and certifications from the SANS Institute and passion for mentoring teams and architecting defensible networks, Sam doesn't just guide companies through regulatory mazes—he empowers them to emerge stronger, transforming security hurdles into strategic advantages.
