LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

About the company and what we do:

Certification Technology Associates core expertise is:

 Certification and Accreditation (i.e. DITSCAP, DIACAP, NIST)

with other supporting capabilities in the following areas

 Development and support of Security Programs (i.e. CNDSP)
 Technology Risk Assessment (i.e. Application and System assessments, risk assessment, and penetration testing)

Certification Technology Associates is also partnered with major IT distributers and a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for computer hardware and software for over 1,000 manufacturers and has consultant network of experienced, certified, and security cleared talent up to the DoD Top Secret level.


About the Owner
Over 16 years of information assurance experience in both the government and the private sectors. Extensive coursework on new and innovative security technologies and a history of proven team leadership to achieve large security project evaluations and implementations. Work includes development of a DISA Regional Computer Emergency Response Team (R-CERT), Social Security Administration Intrusion Protection Team, and Chase/J.P. Morgan Intrusion Monitoring Team. Previous project successes involved the development, implementation and management of Intrusion Detection Services, security testing and evaluation of systems, and security solutions according to industry standards, policies and procedures. Mr. Roach has provided security engineering support, as well as software and hardware implementation, installation and integration of network based and host based security products. Mr. Roach is an expert with in-depth professional knowledge of all phases of DoD Certification and Accreditation Process (DITSCAP/DIACAP), National Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (NIACAP), NIST Security Certification and Accreditation process, NSA/CSS Information Systems Certification and Accreditation Process (NISCAP), and has performed evaluations on unclassified and classified networks. Mr. Roach has been an agency technical representative for IA related matters and has attended Department of Defense Information Technology (DoD IT) Tiger Team Integrated Process Team (IPT), DISA Information Assurance Vulnerability Management (IAVM), DoD Information Assurance Working Groups, and other IA related events.

Roach - is a French Irish name with a family crest consisting of a bird of prey (e.g. eagle or osprey) perched on a roch holding a fish (Roche). You should be able to find more information performing google searches on my last name.

Personality of the company is basically that of a trusted advisor with a strong commitment to customer service.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

I am looking for a company logo that basically not only communicates technology and the core focus (certification and accreditation) but something that would clearly represent the qualities where someone that I might meet would initially say " yes that is Rob" and later as the company grows " yes that is Certification Technology Associates".

I would like to use maybe a basic Logo on high end golf shirts and more detailed one for business cards, and company letterhead.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

trustworthy, quality work, attentive, determined, simple

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

dark navy blue and silver (like US Air Force colors) since I was prior Air Force

All,
I would like to thank you for the designs so far as they are most creative.

I also would like to appologize that I failed to meantion that I "do not" want "CTA" as part of the logo. Reason being is that there are other companies using the same initials CTA and it would be confusing to the customer (e.g. which CTA is it?). My goal is to have a logo be some type of object (plant, animal, creature, shape, figure, sign, etc.) that would make the company stand alone and easily to be recognized as the company grows.
Again, I appologize for not bringing it up sooner. Please hang on to the designs created already as there might be a time in the future where I would like to incorporate the initials but definately not now at this stage.
