DOD compliance and NIST 800-171 implementation for defense contractors
CyberSheath is a compliance-focused cybersecurity firm serving DOD contractors, with founding leadership that shaped DFARS policy since 2013. The hiring mix—security roles dominating, followed by sales and support—reflects a services business scaling delivery and go-to-market simultaneously. Active projects show a shift toward productization (Microsoft Purview automation, runbook development, channel programs) rather than pure consulting, while pain points (reactive support volume, pipeline performance, channel productivity) signal growing pains in scaling service delivery beyond the founder-led era.

CyberSheath helps mid-market and enterprise DOD contractors achieve and maintain NIST 800-171 compliance, with thousands of successful assessments and implementations completed since 2012. The firm operates as a one-stop provider, covering assessment, remediation, software licensing, and ongoing compliance maintenance—moving beyond point tools to address the full problem space. Based in Reston, VA with 51–200 employees, CyberSheath sells primarily into the Defense Industrial Base and relies on a mix of direct sales and emerging channel partnerships. The company is now expanding support infrastructure and formalizing processes (runbook development, Purview automation) to handle volume more consistently.
