Continuity Global Solutions

What Continuity Global Solutions does

Continuity Global Solutions, LLC (formerly Torres AES, rebranded in 2020/2021) is a privately held U.S. defense and government services contractor headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia. Founded in 2002, the company delivers security, risk management, staffing, linguistics, operational support, training, and "atmospherics/cultural awareness" services to U.S. federal agencies — primarily the Department of State (DoS), Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, USAID, and USSOUTHCOM — across approximately 29 countries on six continents. Core programs include Local Guard Force (LGF) services at U.S. embassies and consulates, Armed Security Guard (ASG) services at installations such as Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, Construction Security Monitoring Services (CSMS) for embassy construction projects, bodyguard/protective details, and cyber/IT support. CGS also operates the Mondial Risk Management Company (MRMC) brand in Afghanistan under a Ministry of Interior license.

CGS earns revenue almost entirely through U.S. federal procurement under prime IDIQ contracts and task orders, including the Global Protective Services (GPS) IDIQ ($10.3 billion ceiling, 10-year, awarded to CGS in 2025), the Counter Narcotics & Global Threats Operations & Logistics (CN&GT O&L) IDIQ ($975 million, seven-year, acquired via novation from International Tactical Solutions in 2025), and the Department of State's CAG/CST IDIQ ($250 million). The company has been awarded 38 LGF contracts by the Department of State since 2010 and 18 task orders under the CAG/CST IDIQ. There is no proprietary software platform or product — the offering is labor-based services delivered through a global network of local joint venture partners (Avarn Security, Armobil, Pioneer Security, ESI, Arkhê Risk Solutions, ORSA, SMS, Peace Security, INPROSER) that provide host-nation licensing and compliance. As of February 2026, CGS had recorded its 38th LGF contract recompete (Uganda) and was actively executing across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. Leadership includes CEO Steve Hartsuff, CFO Tauqeer Khalid, and Chief Strategy Officer Winfried "Win" Scheel.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but triangulated signals — disclosed individual contract values, the breadth of LGF and IDIQ task-order activity, the 1,001–5,000 employee headcount, and an emerging commercial oil & gas security subcontract with Staatsolie in Suriname — suggest annual revenue in the $100M–$250M range. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the U.S. federal government (DoS and DoD being the dominant customers), with a single disclosed commercial client as of 2024. In 2025 CGS added significant new IDIQ-based revenue access (GPS and CN&GT), and the company has been recognized as an Industry Leader in Government and Commercial Services by Inc. and Smart CEO magazines eight times since 2008.

Revenue model

1. U.S. Government Defense & Security Services: CGS generates revenue primarily through U.S. federal government contracts for security, risk management, logistics, and support services. Revenue is earned through awarded contracts and task orders from the Department of State, Department of Defense, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, USAID, and other government entities. Revenue streams include Local Guard Force (LGF) programs, Armed Security Guard (ASG) services, Construction Security Monitoring Services (CSMS), cybersecurity/IT support, and operations & logistics.
2. Commercial Oil & Gas Security Services: CGS has begun serving commercial clients in the oil and gas sector, as evidenced by its security subcontract for Staatsolie (Suriname's state-owned oil company). This represents an emerging commercial revenue stream alongside its dominant government services business.
