C2C

Bring us in as a sub, or as the prime.

You hold the contract and the client relationship. We do the specialist work: fractional security leadership, security architecture, AI and agentic design, or GRC work such as gap assessments, policy, and the engineering behind the controls. Framework work can cover SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, or CMMC and NIST SP 800-171, delivered remotely anywhere in the U.S.

How a subcontract works

  1. 01

    You send the scope

    The contract vehicle, the work, and the deadline.

  2. 02

    We confirm the fit

    We’ll tell you quickly whether it’s a fit. We never assess an organization we helped prepare.

  3. 03

    The task order is signed

    Corp-to-corp, under your contract, with the deliverable named before work starts.

  4. 04

    You stay client-facing

    We do the specialist work and stay out of your client relationship.
