We Built the Platform
the Industry Was Missing.
Security and compliance have been sold as two separate problems for too long. We built GUARDIENT® to solve both at once — with a unified platform, a U.S.-based SOC, and a team that treats your security posture the same way we treat our own.
We started USX Cyber because the status quo wasn't good enough.
Organizations were buying security tools that didn't talk to each other, hiring compliance consultants who didn't understand the threat landscape, and paying two teams to solve what should be one problem. The result: security gaps, compliance failures, and a false sense of coverage.
We built GUARDIENT® as the answer — a unified platform combining XDR, SIEM, SOAR, and GRC with a human-led SOC behind it. Not a stack of integrations. Not a feature list. A coherent system where protecting your organization proves you're compliant.
Our mission is to make enterprise-grade security and continuous compliance accessible to every organization that needs it — regardless of size, industry, or in-house expertise. We don't outsource your security. We become part of it.
Every control mapped. Every alert investigated. Every framework covered. That's the USX Cyber commitment.
Security engineers. Compliance experts. Platform builders.
USX Cyber is a cybersecurity and compliance company headquartered in Vienna, Virginia. We were founded by practitioners who spent years watching organizations fail audits they should have passed and suffer breaches they should have caught — because their tools, teams, and frameworks weren't aligned.
We built the platform we always wished existed. Then we built the team to operate it.
Platform Builders
GUARDIENT® wasn't assembled from acquisitions. Every module — Sentry, Compliance Command, WatchDesk, Reactor — was designed as part of a unified system, built to share data, share context, and share outcomes across security and compliance.
Security Operators
Our U.S.-based SOC runs 24/7 with analysts who investigate every alert, not just triage them. OverWatch isn't a dashboard — it's a managed detection and response operation staffed by people who have done this for years in high-stakes environments.
Compliance Practitioners
Our compliance advisory team has guided organizations through CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and more. We don't just map controls — we build the programs that sustain them and the audit trail that proves it.
The platform. By the facts.
Coverage, speed, and scale — in numbers that matter to the clients we serve.
We didn't build another security product. We built a different kind of security company.
Built for Continuous Compliance — Not Annual Audits
Most security companies build tools. We built a system. GUARDIENT® is designed so that every security action — every log ingested, every threat contained, every policy enforced — generates the evidence that proves compliance. You don't prepare for audits at USX Cyber. You're always ready for them.
Human + AI, Not AI Instead of Human
AI-driven detection is table stakes. What sets OverWatch apart is the human layer behind it — analysts who provide context, investigate anomalies, and escalate with clarity. Automation handles speed. Humans handle judgment. You get both.
One Vendor. One Platform. One Relationship.
We operate differently than the market expects. We're your MSSP, your compliance advisor, and your platform provider — all under one roof. No finger-pointing between vendors. No gaps between your security stack and your compliance framework. One team that owns all of it.
Designed for Regulated Industries
Defense contractors, healthcare organizations, financial services firms, and government supply chain companies don't have the luxury of "good enough" security. GUARDIENT® was built for environments where compliance is non-negotiable and the stakes of a breach are measured in contracts, licenses, and liability — not just reputation.
Accountability Is Built In
We operate with full transparency. Every alert, every finding, every control gap is visible in your WatchDesk dashboard in real time. You always know what's happening, what's been done about it, and what your compliance posture looks like — because we built a platform that shows you, not a report that tells you after the fact.
The principles we build by.
These aren't statements we wrote for a website. They're the decisions we make every day when we're building the platform, staffing the SOC, and supporting clients through audits.
Accountability Over Optics
We don't oversell coverage we can't deliver. We don't hide gaps in a dashboard we control. If there's a finding, you see it. If there's a limitation, we tell you. Our clients trust us because we tell them the truth — especially when it's inconvenient.
Security First. Always.
Compliance is the outcome of good security — not a workaround for it. Every product decision, every SOC protocol, every advisory engagement starts with the question: does this actually make the organization more secure? Compliance follows. It always does.
Built for the Long Term
We're not in the business of one-time assessments and engagement close-outs. We're in the business of continuous protection — building programs, sustaining postures, and staying with our clients as the threat landscape evolves. Long-term relationships are how we measure success.
People Behind the Platform
Technology is only as good as the people operating it. We invest in our analysts, our advisors, and our engineers because they're what makes GUARDIENT® more than software. Every client gets access to expertise — not just access to a portal.
Practitioners. Not just product people.
USX Cyber was founded and is led by people who've been on both sides of the table — running security operations, managing compliance programs, and advising organizations through audits and incidents. We didn't come from marketing. We came from the field.
Our leadership team brings backgrounds in federal cybersecurity, defense contracting, healthcare information security, compliance advisory, and enterprise platform engineering. That depth is what informs every decision we make about the product and the service.
We're a lean, specialized team — and we intend to stay that way. Our growth strategy isn't headcount for the sake of scale. It's building the right capabilities, retaining the right people, and delivering outcomes that keep clients for years, not quarters.
Security Operations Leadership with backgrounds running 24/7 SOC environments for federal agencies, defense contractors, and regulated enterprises.
Compliance Advisory Expertise — our advisory team has guided organizations through CMMC Level 2 certifications, SOC 2 Type II audits, HIPAA assessments, and NIST 800-171 implementations.
Platform Engineering with years of experience building the integrations, data pipelines, and automation engines that power GUARDIENT's unified architecture.
Client Success — dedicated practitioners who own the relationship from onboarding through renewal, ensuring the platform delivers measurable outcomes at every stage.
We don't just manage your security. We own it with you.
When you work with USX Cyber, you're not buying a subscription to a tool. You're entering a relationship with a team that treats your security posture the same way we treat our own — with urgency, rigor, and full accountability for outcomes.
That means 24/7 coverage when threats emerge. It means proactive communication when your compliance posture shifts. It means a platform that doesn't just detect and alert — it responds, remediates, and documents. And it means a team that stands behind every finding, every recommendation, and every audit we help you through.
We built USX Cyber to be the security company we'd want protecting our own organization. That's the standard we hold ourselves to. Every client, every day.
