Defense primes, the DIB, and government agencies.
Defense is our primary market. We source and place cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations professionals for defense prime contractors, small-to-mid Defense Industrial Base companies, and federal and government agencies operating under CMMC, Zero Trust, and NIST requirements.
Defense Prime Contractors
Our primary market. Primes need speed, precision, and pre-vetted cleared talent — cybersecurity specialists, cleared program managers, and executive operations leaders delivered against contract clocks that don't wait. We move at defense tempo with defense precision.
Defense Industrial Base (DIB)
Small-to-mid DIB companies delivering to primes under CMMC, Zero Trust, and DFARS mandates. We source the cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations talent your prime contracts require — and understand the compliance boundary staffing firms have to respect.
Federal & Government Agencies
Federal civilian and state government programs that need cleared cybersecurity, program, and executive operations professionals held to defense-grade standards. We source talent that meets NIST 800-53, RMF, and FedRAMP requirements — and shows up ready to work inside controlled environments.
Wherever cleared work and controlled programs live.
Unclassified, controlled, and classified networks; cleared facilities; contractor back offices; and program offices — we integrate where the mission actually runs.
Three ways we place cleared talent.
- 01
Contract Staffing
Cleared cybersecurity, IT, and technical talent placed on contract for defined periods of performance — prime, subcontract, or teamed under your vehicle.
- 02
Direct Hire
Full-time cleared placements sourced against your job description, clearance requirement, and LCAT. You hire and onboard — we source, vet, and negotiate.
- 03
Contract-to-Hire
Try before you hire. Cleared talent placed on contract with a defined evaluation window and transparent conversion path to full-time employment.
Positioned across Florida’s defense and federal mission corridors.
Desra Secure supports defense and federal clients across Florida’s major installation corridors. Our geographic positioning — from Central Florida’s combatant commands, space, and simulation community to North Florida’s special operations and test & evaluation ecosystem and South Florida’s SOUTHCOM and maritime missions — allows us to respond quickly, staff locally cleared talent, and build the long-term relationships that federal program delivery requires.
