Built by someone who’s been on both sides of this problem.
GovComply is a product of Garrison Compliance Group LLC. We built it because the compliance problem at defense manufacturers is real, it’s expensive, and every existing solution either costs too much, requires too much configuration, or was never designed for this regulatory environment in the first place.
The Team
David Trout
For more than 25 years, I’ve helped organizations turn complex initiatives into real outcomes by aligning leadership, driving honest conversations, and making decisive moves early. My work today centers on ERP optimization, defense compliance, and human-led, AI-powered solutions.
At the core, my goal is simple: make technology work for your business.
I’m also proud to have served as a U.S. Air Force Desert Storm Veteran.
Dave Nowaczyk
With over 15 years of experience in ERP, cloud solutions, and manufacturing operations, Dave brings a unique blend of technical expertise and business leadership to GovComply. His career spans consulting, professional services, and executive leadership roles, where he has consistently helped organizations align technology investments with real business outcomes.
At GovComply, Dave focuses on innovation strategy—bridging ERP systems, compliance requirements, and emerging technologies to help manufacturers and defense suppliers simplify complexity and drive performance. He is passionate about translating strategy into execution and delivering solutions that create lasting value.
Christopher Altherr
As a seasoned technology executive, I help manufacturers and defense suppliers align technology with business outcomes—especially where compliance and complexity intersect.
At GovComply, I focus on bridging the gap between regulatory requirements, ERP systems, and real-world operations. With experience across finance, compliance, audit, security, and operations, I bring teams together to implement practical, scalable solutions that actually work.
I’m passionate about turning complexity into clarity and helping organizations stay compliant while moving forward.
The spreadsheet problem has been there the whole time.
I served in the Air Force during Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Desert Calm. When I came home, I spent the next two decades as a business consultant to manufacturing companies — working with manufacturers that hold government contracts directly and with those that supply the primes who do.
That breadth is what sharpened the picture. The compliance problem isn’t isolated to one company or one contract type. It shows up the same way across the industry: manual processes, reactive audit prep, quality teams absorbing compliance work that was never designed for their role, and a regulatory environment that keeps expanding while the toolset stays the same.
Every defense manufacturer I worked with managed their FAR and DFARS obligations the same way: spreadsheets, shared drives, tribal knowledge, and a consultant on retainer for the moments when things got complicated. When DCAA called, the team would spend two to four weeks assembling a documentation package that should have been ready before the phone rang.
“The $200K consultant question wasn’t just about cost. It was about the fact that the knowledge left when they did. Every audit cycle, you were starting over.”
GovComply is the product that should have been built as this regulatory burden grew to what it is today. Over the last decade, DFARS cybersecurity requirements expanded significantly, DCAA audit activity intensified, and the volume of clause flowdown obligations on mid-market contractors compounded year over year. The compliance program that was manageable in 2015 is a different animal in 2026. The tools available to manage it haven’t kept pace.
We launched GovComply on July 4, 2026 — America’s 250th. That date means something to us. The people who supply the people who keep this country secure deserve tools that are built for their actual environment.
Garrison Compliance Group LLC is a veteran-owned business. David Trout served in the United States Air Force and deployed in support of Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Desert Calm.
Garrison Compliance Group LLC
Garrison Compliance Group is a veteran-owned software company founded to make compliance less stressful and time-consuming for mid-sized aerospace and defense manufacturers through purpose-built government contractor software and intelligent compliance automation.
We are not a consulting firm that built software on the side. We are not a general-purpose GRC vendor that added a defense module. GovComply is our flagship product-built specifically for this regulatory environment from the ground up.
We launched on July, 4 2026. We’re early. We’re specific. And we understand that the people buying this product have dealt with too many AI products that don’t understand DCAA. We do.
