What Irys does

Irys Technologies, Inc. is a privately held AI-native cybersecurity and resilient IT company founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The company operates through a dual structure combining product innovation at Irys (Irys Case Manager, civic technology applications) with the December 2023-acquired subsidiary DTSI, which delivers enterprise IT, cybersecurity, cloud, software development, AI/ML, and data management services to the Department of Defense and federal agencies with over 40 years of operational track record.

The company's technology stack centers on AI-powered platforms with Zero Trust Architecture, adversarial simulation and red-teaming capabilities, continuous Authority to Operate (cATO) through DevSecOps, and multi-cloud environments aligned with FedRAMP compliance. Core offerings include Irys Case Manager (ICM) for AI-native secure case management, the Irys App, 311SA App, and IMDS App for civic communication and municipal operations, and DTSI-delivered mission systems including HRSTS (USAF HR modernization from COBOL), DPIMS (DISA privacy information management), and eFOIA (DoD FOIA processing). The company maintains CMMC Level 2, CMMI Level 3, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications and holds GSA MAS Schedule (47QTCA19D008D) and Cyber IDIQ contract vehicles.

Irys generates revenue through professional services on federal and DoD contracts, enterprise software licensing for ICM with Zero Trust capabilities, and custom development plus platform deployment for state and local government civic technology customers. Distribution operates via direct enterprise field sales with a consultative, quote-based motion (no public pricing), leveraging dedicated business development contacts, GSA contract vehicles, and defense industry events. Customer segments are vertically oriented toward DoD and defense agencies as primary, federal civilian agencies and state/local government as additional segments, with Fortune 1000 enterprises as an emerging secondary segment.
