Hire the way your business needs

Contract

Contract Staffing

Surge capacity, coverage gaps, and project demand. Consultants can typically start within one to two weeks of approval.

Try First

Contract-to-Hire

Evaluate real on-the-job performance before you commit. It is the cheapest insurance against a bad hire.

Permanent

Direct Placement

Full-time hires sourced and technically vetted for your stack, your mission, and your team culture.

Outcome

Project Teams / SOW

Scoped, outcome-based delivery for SOC build-outs, SIEM migrations, and assessment sprints. You get a team with a deliverable, not a stack of resumes.

How It Works

From role brief to vetted shortlist in four steps

Scope Your Stack

A 20-minute call about your actual environment: tools, threat profile, clearance requirements, team dynamics. No keyword checklists.

Source the Bench

We search our pre-vetted network first, then targeted outreach. You see candidates who are available now, not padding.

Expert Vetting

Technical screens run by practicing security professionals: scenario questions from real incidents, not trivia. Skills verified, experience matched.

Shortlist in 3-5 Days

A ranked shortlist with honest notes on each candidate. Interviews inside a week; placement support through day 90.

Our replacement commitment.

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.

Beyond Staffing

Hands-on security services, fixed-fee

Sometimes you need an outcome, not a hire. Delivered by the same senior security professionals we place.

Cybersecurity Posture Assessment

NIST CSF-based review with a prioritized, board-ready roadmap.

Incident Response Plan + Tabletop

NIST 800-61 aligned IR plan and a facilitated exercise with after-action report.

SIEM Deployment & Tuning

Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel: onboarding, detection content, alert-noise reduction.

Phishing Defense & Vulnerability Mgmt

Email security tuning, simulations, and monthly scan-triage-report cycles.

Government & Primes

A teaming partner built for public-sector work

FAQ

Common questions

How fast can you submit candidates?

For a clearly scoped role, we deliver a shortlist vetted by security professionals within 3-5 business days. Contract placements typically start within 1-2 weeks of approval.

Do you place remote and international talent?

Yes. We make remote, hybrid, and on-site placements across the United States and internationally for commercial clients. On-site coverage is strongest in the Maryland / DC / Virginia corridor.

What makes your vetting different?

Screens are run by a working federal senior SOC analyst using scenario-based questions from real incidents. We verify hands-on tool skills (Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, Qualys and more), not certification trivia.

Do you support government contractors and primes?

Yes. We operate as a small-business teaming partner and staffing subcontractor for primes, with clearable U.S.-based candidates and active federal past performance in our leadership.

What if a placement doesn't work out?

Contract placements carry a 30-day replacement commitment. If the fit isn't right, we replace the consultant at no additional placement cost.
