Security Operations & Engineering

Detection, response, and compliance built by practitioners who run these systems in production every day — for federal agencies, prime contractors, and mission-critical environments.

Enterprise security, engineered — not resold

AA Secured IT Solutions is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned cybersecurity firm delivering security operations, detection engineering, vulnerability management, and compliance support to organizations that cannot afford to get security wrong.

Our work is grounded in real SOC experience across transit and homeland security environments: tuning detection content, commanding incident response, and owning the vulnerability lifecycle at enterprise scale. We map every engagement to a concrete threat or compliance requirement — no shelfware, no solutions looking for problems.

  • Owner holds an active DoD Secret clearance
  • CompTIA CySA+, Security+, and SecurityAI+ certified
  • Aligned to NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, RMF, and DISA STIGs
  • SDVOSB — eligible for set-aside and sole-source awards
