A boutique firm, built for the hard programs.
SIMCIA Security is a boutique firm building security programs for federal-adjacent teams—defense, health-tech, and the contractors and platforms they depend on.
We started in 2020 built on a single idea: security only works when it changes behavior. The firm grew around that idea. Today we run readiness reviews, operate compliance programs, and ship the human-risk product that started it all.
Simply CIA.
Confidentiality. Integrity. Availability. The three words every security program is built on—and the three most teams stop thinking about the moment the audit passes.
Confidentiality
Controls that hold up when people are tired, rushed, or new.
Integrity
Evidence the assessor trusts because the program is real.
Availability
Programs your team can actually run—next week, next quarter, next audit.
The thesis is simple: you can’t control a system you can’t change the behavior of. That’s why every program we build starts with the people operating it, and every piece of evidence we produce maps back to a behavior that held.
Three non-negotiables.
Senior operators only.
The person scoping the work is the person doing the work. No staff augmentation, no hand-offs.
Plain language, always.
If we can't explain a control to your head of engineering, we haven't done our job.
Ship programs, not binders.
Every deliverable has an owner, a cadence, and a measurable outcome.
The triad the whole field runs on.
SIMCIA is our short-hand for the cybersecurity triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability . Every engagement we run maps back to how your program performs against these three—on paper and in practice.
JDs don’t always fit the bill.
