What H2L Solutions does

H2L Solutions, Inc. is a privately held Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and HUBZone-certified cybersecurity services firm headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. Founded in 2014 by Jonathan Hard, who continues to serve as CEO, the company delivers a portfolio of professional services rather than packaged software: C3PAO CMMC Level 2 assessments and certifications, penetration testing, ISSO/ISSM-as-a-Service, RMF accreditation support, cyber threat hunting, and intelligence/counterintelligence services. Specialized practice areas span Defense Industrial Base contractors, federal civilian agencies (USACE, NAVFAC, AFCEC, DCSA, DIA), weapons systems programs (JLTV, FMTV2, GVSC), Architecture/Engineering/Construction, healthcare, and airport/aviation. The company differentiates on regulated credentials: Cyber AB Authorized C3PAO status for CMMC Level 2, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, and SDVOSB/HUBZone set-aside eligibility.

The business model is government professional services delivered through multi-channel contract vehicles: SeaPort-NxG ($4B ceiling), GSA Schedule 70, GSA OASIS+ SDVOSB, and the Army CHESS/ITES-3S via a T-Four joint venture ($12B ceiling). Engagements are scoped under time-and-materials, cost-plus, and firm-fixed-price contract structures. GTM is consultative enterprise field sales targeting DoD components, intelligence agencies, and DIB contractors navigating CMMC, DFARS, and NIST requirements. Customer scale is meaningful for a sub-50 employee firm — 400+ DIB clients, 20+ RMF accreditations, 40+ AEC projects, and contributions to hundreds of ATO certifications — though individual contract values and overall revenue are not publicly disclosed. The proprietary technology layer is methodology and personnel-driven (assessment process, threat hunting procedures, RMF expertise) rather than software-driven, with no patents, APIs, or productized platforms disclosed.
