DoD and Federal cybersecurity contractor delivering compliance and incident response
Watershed Security operates as a specialized contractor for Department of Defense and Federal agencies, with a deep focus on RMF (Risk Management Framework) compliance, continuous monitoring, and incident response. The security-heavy hiring mix (17 of 25 roles) skews toward senior staff, reflecting a customer base that demands clearances and sustained compliance expertise rather than scaling consumer-facing features.
Founded in 2003 and veteran-owned, Watershed Security provides IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions to DoD and Federal organizations. The company maintains operational scale around Navy systems deployment, RMF package lifecycle management, disaster recovery, and classified-environment security assessments. Tech footprint centers on Windows, Active Directory, ServiceNow, and specialized security scanning (Nessus, ACAS) common in Federal compliance workflows. Primary pain points cluster around RMF package retention, ATO maintenance, vulnerability management, and email infrastructure stability for fleet customers.
Primary stack includes Nessus and ACAS for vulnerability scanning, ePolicy Orchestrator for patch management, McAfee for endpoint protection, and ServiceNow for IT service management. Windows, Active Directory, and Exchange Server form the infrastructure backbone.
