Kentro (formerly IT Concepts) is a 500+ person federal services firm anchored in identity, access, and data security modernization. The stack reveals a government contractor profile: ActiveDirectory replacement via Azure AD and SailPoint suite, Databricks for data governance, ServiceNow for ticketing, and heavy AWS/Azure footprint. Active migration away from legacy identity infrastructure (Active Directory out, SailPoint identity suite in) paired with zero-trust transformation projects at USSOCOM and a global data inventory initiative signals a shift toward compliance-first, least-privilege architectures—a pattern that matches their pain-point list (dark data discovery, DoD audit alignment, remote support at scale across 100+ federal sites).
