Forward Watch Technologies is a practitioner-led staffing firm. Every SOC analyst, incident responder, threat hunter, and security engineer we place is screened by a working federal Senior SOC Analyst — because good security people don't stay on the market long, and bad hires cost you twice.
The global cybersecurity workforce gap exceeds four million professionals. The strong ones are hired in days. We keep a live, pre-vetted bench so you don't start from zero.
Surge capacity, coverage gaps, and project demand. Consultants can typically start within 1–2 weeks of approval.
Evaluate real on-the-job performance before you commit — the trial period that eliminates the cost of a bad hire.
Full-time hires sourced and technically vetted for your stack, your mission, and your team culture.
Scoped, outcome-based delivery: SOC build-outs, SIEM migrations, assessment sprints — a team with a deliverable, not just resumes.
A 20-minute call about your actual environment — tools, threat profile, clearance or trust requirements, team dynamics. Not a keyword checklist.
We search our pre-vetted network first, then targeted outreach. You see candidates who are available now, not padding.
Technical screens run by a working senior SOC analyst: scenario questions from real incidents, not trivia. Skills verified, experience matched.
A ranked shortlist with honest notes on each candidate. Interviews inside a week; placement support through day 90.
If a contract consultant isn't the right fit within the first 30 days, we replace them at no additional placement cost. Your risk is our problem, not yours.
Sometimes you need an outcome, not a hire. Delivered by the same senior practitioners we place.
NIST CSF-based review with a prioritized, board-ready roadmap.
NIST 800-61 aligned IR plan and a facilitated exercise with after-action report.
Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel: onboarding, detection content, alert-noise reduction.
Email security tuning, simulations, and monthly scan-triage-report cycles.
