Why 18 Months Is No
Longer Acceptable
After three decades of architecting secure federal IT environments for intelligence agencies, defense contractors, and critical infrastructure entities, our founder witnessed a disturbing pattern:
DoD contractors were being failed by traditional consulting models.
Endless discovery phases. Scope creep. Junior consultants learning on the client's dime. 18-month timelines that stretched to 24 months. Budgets that ballooned from $150K to $300K. And worst of all—no guarantees.
We saw contractors lose DoD contracts because they couldn't achieve CMMC compliance fast enough. We saw businesses hemorrhage cash on consulting fees with no clear path to certification. We saw the federal cybersecurity consulting industry prioritize billable hours over client outcomes.
