What CSMI does

CSMI, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Salem, New Hampshire, is a privately held solutions integrator focused on the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. The company serves defense contractors, the U.S. Department of Defense, Special Operations Forces, allied nations, and select U.S. government municipalities through three core practice areas: Cybersecurity Compliance Services (CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS), Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) training executed at its proprietary MATRIX facility spanning more than 5 million acres in Montana, and Integrated Logistics Support including Performance Based Logistics and Operations & Maintenance for C5ISR technologies. CSMI holds Cyber AB Certified CMMC Professional and Registered Practitioner staff credentials and employs 101–250 people across offices in Salem, NH and Helena, MT.

The firm's revenue model is anchored in custom, quote-based professional services engagements delivered through direct enterprise field sales. Senior program managers and consultants conduct on-site cybersecurity assessments, remediation, compliance implementation, training delivery, and full-lifecycle program management for DIB suppliers and DoD organizations. The company's offering covers the entire C5ISR technology lifecycle — innovation, production, compliance, fielding, and sustainment — and is extended internationally through engagements with Allied Nation partners. Distribution is relationship-led, with no digital self-serve or marketplace channels; engagements are scoped per client and priced based on scope, travel, and compliance or training requirements.

CSMI presents its scale using cumulative program-support figures: $1 billion+ in program support delivered, operations across 30+ countries on five continents, and 22+ years of continuous operation. The company is founder-owned and operated under Co-Founder/CEO Randall Kaminsky and Co-Founder/COO Michael Thompson, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding. Customer concentration is narrow: the U.S. DoD, DIB suppliers, and adjacent government and allied-military segments dominate the book of business, with the MATRIX training range serving as the firm's primary differentiated infrastructure asset.
