MAD Security

MAD Security is a Huntsville, Alabama-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), founded in 2010, that provides managed detection and response, SOC-as-a-service, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, incident response, and CMMC compliance consulting, with a client base concentrated in defense contractors, aerospace, government-adjacent, and other highly regulated industries.

As a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO) — a designation issued through the Cyber-AB accreditation body — MAD Security specifically helps Department of Defense contractors prepare for and navigate CMMC 2.0 certification requirements alongside its 24/7 MDR/SOC service. This ties the company’s growth directly to the DoD’s CMMC rollout timeline, a mandatory, deadline-driven compliance requirement affecting an estimated 300,000+ companies in the defense industrial base.

MAD Security’s differentiation is contracting and compliance credentialing rather than proprietary detection technology: its SDVOSB status supports federal small-business set-aside eligibility, and its CMMC RPO designation is a real, independently verifiable credential. The company does not publish a proprietary security platform, named enterprise case studies, or third-party efficacy data, so its value proposition rests primarily on service delivery and regulatory-navigation expertise rather than a differentiated technology stack.
