# SGS Expands Federal Cybersecurity Services

SGS has completed its acquisition of a majority stake in U.S.-based Prescient Security, expanding its Digital Trust services in cybersecurity, compliance, and certification. Prescient provides services related to federal frameworks including FedRAMP and CMMC. The announcement does not disclose the transaction value or identify a government contract, but it adds potential capacity for organizations seeking security, compliance, and certification support in these environments.

- Government contractors and other organizations working in FedRAMP or CMMC environments can evaluate Prescient’s services as a potential source of compliance and cybersecurity support.
- Procurement teams should distinguish this capability expansion from a contract award: the announcement identifies no agency customer, procurement vehicle, or solicitation.
- Cybersecurity and assurance firms may face a larger competitor in digital trust audits and federal-framework-related services.
