Enterprise cybersecurity and compliance automation for defense contractors and SMBs
Sentinel Blue operates a Microsoft-native security stack (365, Entra ID, Intune, Azure Government) built for CMMC and DFARS compliance at mid-market and defense-sector companies. The ops-heavy hiring mix (7 ops, 2 engineering, 1 marketing) paired with active projects around assessment automation, gap analysis, and compliance documentation reflects a services-first model—they're scaling delivery teams faster than engineering, indicating product maturity around repeatability rather than net-new platform features.
Sentinel Blue provides cybersecurity services and compliance automation for small to mid-sized businesses operating in or serving the defense industrial base. The company specializes in CMMC, DFARS, NIST, and ITAR compliance—regulatory frameworks required for contractors and subcontractors working with the Department of Defense. Their service areas include security assessments, gap analysis, compliance documentation, system security plan development, and infrastructure hardening on Microsoft cloud platforms. Founded in 2020 and based in Warrenton, VA, the company operates with 11–50 employees and currently has 10 active job openings, with hiring accelerating across operations roles.
Primarily Microsoft platforms: 365, Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, plus Azure and Azure Government. Also Terraform, Bicep, Veeam, PowerShell, and Graph API for automation and infrastructure-as-code.
