AeroPass (APS)

Commercial Aviation Compliance Assessment | GRC Portfolio Project

Author: Ashley Miller
Frameworks: PCI DSS v4.0 | SOX ITGC | NIST SP 800-171 | DFARS 252.204-7012 | NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Platform: Hybrid Enterprise Environment
Classification: Unclassified — Portfolio Demonstration Project
Status: Active — Artifacts In Development


Project Overview

AeroPass (APS) is a fictional commercial airline passenger services platform that processes payment card transactions, supports SOX-scoped financial reporting systems, and handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under government charter contracts. Unlike a single-framework federal system, AeroPass demonstrates the multi-framework compliance reality of a regulated commercial enterprise — where PCI DSS, SOX, and DFARS obligations overlap on shared infrastructure.

This project demonstrates cross-framework compliance assessment skills: scoping, gap analysis, control testing, and translating findings into executive-ready reporting.
