Cybersecurity and IT systems for government and commercial clients
Goldbelt Nighthawk is a 11–50 person security-focused IT shop serving federal and commercial buyers. Their stack reflects government-compliance DNA: Windows, Active Directory, Nessus, Splunk across on-prem and cloud (AWS, Azure DevOps). Active projects span SIEM dashboards, zero-trust implementation, DevSecOps monitoring, and classified-data handling workflows—all anchored by pain points around FISMA compliance, spillage classification, and ATO approvals. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward senior security practitioners (7 of 10 open roles), indicating they're building specialized capture and delivery teams rather than scaling generalist engineering.
Goldbelt Nighthawk develops cybersecurity solutions, IT infrastructure, and compliance-focused systems for government agencies and commercial enterprises. Based in Newport News, VA, the company holds CMMI DEV Level 3 certification, an 8(a) Small Business designation, and Small Disadvantaged Business status—credentials that shape their go-to-market toward federal contracting. Their delivery model includes RFP capture support (capture team, technical writers, red team) alongside hands-on systems work in application security, network hardening, security assessment, and information architecture. Core technical surfaces include SIEM operations, cloud infrastructure auditing, and secure data management with compliance frameworks like FISMA and ATO processes.
