GS Consulting

What GS Consulting does

GS Consulting, LLC is a privately-held, small-business IT and cybersecurity consulting firm headquartered in Towson, Maryland, with cleared operations support locations across the Fort Meade corridor (Fort Meade, Annapolis Junction, Columbia). Founded by Chris Seymour (M.S. Telecommunications Engineering) and Alex Gibson (B.S. Electrical Engineering), both with hands-on experience building cyber defense capabilities deployed within DoD and IC environments, the company delivers four core service lines to defense contractors, intelligence community organizations, and federal agencies: GovCon AI and Intelligent Automation, CMMC/NIST/CUI Cybersecurity Compliance, Enterprise AI Process Automation, and Software/Data/Cloud Delivery. All engagements are governed by separately signed written agreements (MSAs, subcontracts, task orders, or statements of work), with no public pricing.

The firm's technology stack centers on applied AI and analytics — including NLP, anomaly detection, generative AI, knowledge retrieval, predictive analytics, and autonomous monitoring with human oversight — delivered as consulting services rather than packaged software products. Differentiated intellectual capital includes proprietary research frameworks such as the GovCon Cyber Compliance Pressure Index, CUI Cloud Scope Expansion Index, AI Monitoring Priority Index, and Operations AI Automation Priority Index, each backed by large-scale analysis of public compliance and process datasets. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements, with customer acquisition supported by an Insights Hub publishing original research, an enterprise field sales motion, and dedicated careers marketing for cleared professionals. The company holds Registered Small Business status in SAM.gov (CAGE Code 5XZG5), positioning it for federal set-aside and subcontract opportunities.
