About Us
A Veteran-Owned Team Thatβs Been Securing Complex Systems for Decades.
The same discipline that protects mission-critical systems for the military and federal government should be available to every business β not just the ones with a Fortune 500 budget.
Penn Parsons exists because the discipline that protects military and federal systems shouldn't be reserved for organizations with Fortune 500 budgets. We're a 100% veteran-owned firm, certified as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Woman-Owned Small Business, with more than 40 years of combined experience designing, installing, and securing complex infrastructures.
That experience spans the industries where getting it wrong carries real consequences β healthcare, finance, defense, and retail β and the full technical stack beneath them: Windows and Linux, on-premises and cloud, networks, endpoints, and applications. It's why we can both write the compliance plan and build the systems it describes, a combination far rarer than it should be.
What you'll notice working with us is a particular temperament. We don't sell fear, and we don't over-engineer. We give straight answers about risk, cost, and timeline, we treat your data like it's classified, and we stay engaged long after the assessment is signed. For our clients, security and compliance aren't checkboxes β they're how trust gets earned and kept. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every engagement.
What Makes Us Different
Compliance and the technical work to back it up.
We do both
Many firms write the policy; few can also build the network, harden the endpoints, and stand up the cloud controls. We do both.
Cross-platform depth
Red Hat, Debian, and Windows β on-prem, cloud, and hybrid. Most problems live at the seams between systems, and we know them.
Mission mindset
We treat your data like it's classified, because for many of our clients, it nearly is.
