ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and engineering

the cybersecurity services it currently provides through an
incumbent CMS contract through 2029.
With an emphasis on innovation, ECS will continue to provide a
cohesive and evolving managed cybersecurity service supporting CMS
and the CMS Healthcare Marketplace. This managed service includes
enterprise security operations support, incident response and
management, SOC-as-a-service, threat intelligence analytics, data
forensics, security engineering and architecture, penetration
testing, breach and attack simulation, and more.
Acquired by ECS in 2022, Iron Vine Security began providing
managed cybersecurity services for CMS in 2016. Today, ECS applies
years’ worth of CMS experience and knowledge to continue protecting
the healthcare data of millions of U.S. citizens.
“This is a great win for ECS and our partners,” said William
Geimer, vice president of Enterprise Solutions at ECS. “We look
forward to continuing our work with CMS by providing innovative,
state-of-the-art cybersecurity technology and practices and
passionate personnel who will drive the CMS mission into the
future.”
“I could not be prouder of the efforts of our team, the support
of our leadership, and the confidence that CMS has placed in our
cybersecurity experts,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS.
“We’re honored to support CMS as it serves the millions of
Americans who receive healthcare through Medicare, Medicaid, the
