Who We Are

A cleared talent firm built for the government mission.

Desra Secure sources, vets, and places cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations professionals inside defense prime, DIB, and government programs. We don't sell software or consulting decks — we deliver the specialized human capital that CMMC, Zero Trust, and cleared federal missions require, on the tempo those programs actually run on.

Our Mission

Connect the government mission with the cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations talent it depends on.

Cleared hiring for defense and federal missions moves at a different tempo than commercial recruiting. Clearances, LCATs, DoD 8140 qualifications, and program-specific demands all matter — and getting any of them wrong costs a program schedule. Desra Secure exists to move at defense speed with defense precision, so primes, DIB companies, and government agencies get the right cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations talent, quickly.

Operating Standard

Cleared talent doesn't wait on paperwork. Neither do we.
