What Cyber Security Innovations does

Cyber Security Innovations (CSI) is an SBA 8(a)-certified, minority-owned small business founded in 2012, headquartered in Hyattsville, Maryland. The company provides end-to-end cybersecurity and information assurance (IA&C) consulting services to federal government agencies and, to a lesser extent, commercial organizations. Core service offerings include FISMA Compliance, Security Assessment and Authorization under NIST SP 800-37 / 800-53 / 800-115, Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) Support spanning all six steps of the Risk Management Framework, Penetration Testing (network, web/mobile application, and wireless), Cloud Security with FedRAMP Advisory, and Security Training (CISSP, Security+, FISMA/HIPAA/SOX/GLBA). Service delivery is human-led by ISSOs with over 10 years of experience using tools such as Splunk and SIEM platforms; CSI does not sell a unified software product.

CSI operates as a federal government contractor holding three contract vehicles: GSA IT Schedule 70 HACS SIN (Contract No. 47QTCA21D003Z, performance period through 01/11/2026, unlimited ceiling), GSA 8(a) STARS III (Contract No. 47QTCB21D0260, with SBA sole-source procurement eligibility up to $4.5M per task order), and FAA eFAST (Contract No. 693KA922A00352). These vehicles support multiple contract types — Fixed-Price, Cost Reimbursable, Time-and-Materials, and Labor Hour — and give CSI direct procurement access by federal agencies, including FAA. The business model is professional services-led, generating revenue through billable consulting engagements and ongoing managed security services (continuous monitoring, security documentation maintenance, compliance management). GTM is enterprise field sales: direct outreach to federal contracting officers, RFP response, and leveraging 8(a) sole-source pathways.

CSI is a privately held LLC with Al Conteh as Owner and Founder (also serving as Program Manager). No institutional investors, venture capital backing, parent company, subsidiaries, or merger and acquisition activity are disclosed. The firm maintains 11-50 employees, a single domestic headquarters location, no social media presence of note, no disclosed app or API product, and no awards, patents, or strategic partnerships recorded in the available data. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is governed by the ceiling rates and labor categories of its federal contract vehicles.

Direct peers

• Electrosoft Services: An SBA 8(a) cybersecurity and IT services firm serving federal civilian and defense agencies with FISMA, RMF, and FedRAMP advisory work — directly comparable in scale, certifications, and federal customer focus to CSI.
• VariQ: Federal IT and cybersecurity services small business holding GSA and 8(a) vehicles, with FISMA, ISSO, and security assessment offerings aimed at civilian agencies — closely overlapping CSI's service portfolio and contracting posture.
• Rigil Corporation: Woman-owned small business providing cybersecurity, information assurance, and IT services to federal agencies via GSA and 8(a) vehicles — comparable size, certifications, and federal services portfolio to CSI.

Broad incumbents

• Boooz Allen Hamilton: Large federal consulting prime with deep federal cybersecurity, FISMA, and FedRAMP practices across all major agencies. A broad incumbent whose scale and past performance dwarf CSI but whose contracts CSI often teams into as a small-business sub.
• ManTech International: Major federal services prime with significant cyber, IA, and FedRAMP capabilities serving DoD, intelligence, and civilian agencies — establishes the competitive ceiling CSI competes under as a sub or set-aside competitor.
• CACI International: Large federal IT and cyber services prime with broad RMF, cyber operations, and ISSO practices — competes on full-and-open vehicles and influences small-business set-aside flow through subcontracting.
• Leidos: Federal systems integrator with extensive cybersecurity, FedRAMP, and cloud security work across civilian and defense customers — represents the large-prime competitive context for CSI's pursuit strategy.
