What Shojiki Consulting does

Shojiki Consulting, Inc. (DBA 502 Design Services) is a federally registered Small Business headquartered in Palm Harbor, Florida, that provides cybersecurity, cryptographic, and engineering services to U.S. federal agencies — including the DoD, Intelligence Community, DHS, and NATO — as well as to commercial defense contractors. Founded in 2021 following a merger with 502 Design Services, the company combines fractional consulting for small federal contractors with deep expertise in high assurance security engineering, DoD cyber compliance (RMF, CMMC, NIST, FedRAMP), and FPGA/ASIC hardware design.

The company’s technology portfolio spans five core offerings: the Next Generation Crypto Module (NGCM), a COTS-based embeddable cryptographic subsystem designed for future quantum-resistant algorithms; DoD Cybersecurity Compliance services covering GRC, RMF, CMMC, ISO 2700x, and security assessments; High Assurance Security Engineering staffed by NSA-certified SMEs with capabilities in COMSEC, TRANSEC, key management, Red/Black partitioning, and anti-tamper; Fractional Support Services (SBSaaS), a subscription model delivering vetted fractional executives (vCISO, vCTO, aFSO) and functional SMEs; and FPGA & ASIC engineering services for digital board and custom VHDL design. NSA Type 1 certification and 50+ task high assurance evaluation methodology are central technical differentiators.

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (compliance, engineering), subscription-based fractional support (SBSaaS), and hardware sales (NGCM), delivered via direct sales and relationship-based engagement with federal buyers and defense primes. The go-to-market leverages the firm’s NSA Type 1 certification, federal contracting credentials (DUNS, SAM, CAGE), and a distributed staff across six U.S. states. No external funding or institutional investment has been disclosed.
