Broad incumbents

• ManTech International: ManTech provides federal security, intelligence, and defense IT services including personnel security investigations and cyber. As a large established federal security contractor, it represents a broader incumbent that PSI may partner with, subcontract under, or compete against on larger procurements.
• Akima: Akima is a larger federal services holding company providing security, logistics, and IT services across multiple agencies. While broader and significantly larger than PSI, its security operations portfolio overlaps with PSI's federal security services delivery.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton provides federal consulting including security risk assessments, threat analysis, and critical infrastructure protection. As a major incumbent in federal security consulting, it is a relevant comparison point for PSI's risk/threat/vulnerability assessment work.
• Leidos: Leidos is a top-tier federal contractor with significant security, intelligence, and critical infrastructure protection work. While much larger and broader than PSI, it competes for many of the same federal security contracts and often primes opportunities where PSI could serve as a subcontractor.

Direct peers

• SOS International: SOS International (SOSi) provides integrated security, intelligence, and critical infrastructure protection services to U.S. federal agencies. Like PSI, it focuses on government-only contracts with cleared personnel and offers multi-disciplinary security solutions—a directly comparable federal security services peer.
• Chenega Corporation: Chenega is an Alaska Native-owned federal services contractor with a security and intelligence portfolio spanning physical, personnel, and operational security for U.S. Government clients. It mirrors PSI's services-only model and federal customer base, with comparable size and mission scope.
• CALIBURN: CALIBURN provides government services including security operations and program management for federal clients. Its services-only federal model and mid-market scale make it a direct comparable to PSI's security consulting and operations offering.
• Mission Essential Personnel: Mission Essential delivers government security and intelligence support services with a heavy reliance on cleared personnel, much like PSI. Its federal customer focus and services-led business model make it a directly comparable peer.
• Patriot Group International: Patriot Group International is a veteran-founded federal security services firm providing risk management, protective services, and security consulting to U.S. Government agencies. Its veteran ownership and federal-only focus align closely with PSI's SDVOSB positioning and integrated security offerings.
• COLSA Corporation: COLSA delivers security, intelligence, and IT services to federal customers including DoD and intelligence community agencies. Its mid-sized, services-led federal security model and similar employee scale position it as a closely comparable peer to PSI.
