On the ground in Washington, DC
Built for how Washington, DC actually works
The Washington region has more organizations under an explicit security mandate than almost any other market. Defense and civilian contractors carry DFARS and NIST SP 800-171 obligations and the CMMC assessments that verify them. Cloud providers selling to agencies carry FedRAMP. Associations, law firms, and consultancies carry the questionnaires of the members, clients, and agencies they serve. A manual penetration test by an independent, US-based firm is the evidence every one of those parties expects.
The states around the District add their own rules. Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act and Maryland’s Online Data Privacy Act both require reasonable security practices for the personal data they cover, and the District’s data breach law requires reasonable safeguards for residents’ personal information. None of them spells out a penetration test, but each expects the safeguards to be real, and a test is how you show they are.
We serve organizations across the region, including downtown Washington, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Annandale, Tysons, McLean, Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Columbia, and Baltimore, and the rest of Virginia and Maryland from the same team. Testing is delivered remotely from our New York office, with on-site work arranged when a scope needs a person in the building.
