How ShorePoint’s RAPID Framework Helps Agencies Stay Secure, Adaptive, and Mission-Focused
Federal agencies face constant pressure to adapt to fast-changing cyber threats while continuing to modernize and deliver on mission priorities. To keep pace, they need cybersecurity strategies that are flexible, scalable, and built for continuous improvement.
ShorePoint’s RAPID (Responsive Agile Processes for Innovative Delivery) Framework meets that need. It brings together proven project management disciplines, Agile best practices, and real-time collaboration tools to deliver cybersecurity outcomes — securely and efficiently.
The Cybersecurity Challenge
Managing risk and maintaining resilience is harder than ever. Agency leaders must navigate:
- Shifting Priorities – driven by evolving policies, emerging technologies, and new threats
- Complex Coordination – across systems, teams, and requirements
- Resource Constraints – that require prioritizing the most critical work
- A Continuous Journey – because cyber maturity is never complete
Agencies need an approach that’s structured, repeatable, and flexible enough to evolve with the mission.
Introducing the RAPID Framework
The RAPID Framework is ShorePoint’s proven Agile-based approach to delivering cybersecurity services. It combines ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, PMBOK-aligned project management, and modern Agile workflows such as Scrum and Kanban.
RAPID consists of four core steps:
1. Initiate
Each engagement begins with a formal kickoff that defines customer-specific goals, standards, and success metrics. A tailored Transition Plan — or modernization, maturity, or transformation plan — lays the foundation, ensuring alignment from day one.
2. Plan
We develop and regularly update a Program Management Plan that provides a structured approach to managing the team, tasks, communications, risks, and performance across the project. A clear Baseline Plan — defining schedule, scope, deliverables, and quality expectations — sets the stage for transparency and accountability throughout execution.
3. Execute
Using Scrum and Kanban, teams iterate quickly, continuously delivering and refining work products. Innovation and flexibility are built in, with customer approval and collaboration at every step.
4. Monitor and Control
RAPID ensures rigorous oversight through risk and issue management, status reviews, and management reporting. Stakeholders gain full visibility into progress and performance.
Why RAPID Works
RAPID helps agencies:
- Stay Mission-Focused – by dynamically adjusting priorities and resources
- Drive Results – with continuous stakeholder engagement as well as real-time collaboration, dashboards, and automated reporting
- Scale Efficiently – through flexible resource allocations across programs, without losing speed or visibility
- Improve Continuously – by tracking metrics and raising performance expectations over time
