Twelve steps before anyone reaches your team.

Our screening is deliberately rigorous, because a placement that cannot do the work is not a saving. Every candidate moves through four phases.

Not a generic reseller. A firm that staffs, builds and trains.

Defense In Depth Solutions is one of the fast emerging leaders among women-owned business enterprises, established in 2007. We provide affordable, current IT services for organizations of any size, backed by a large pool of personnel with deep experience mitigating complex IT challenges and integrating emerging technology in demanding environments.

We partner with leading IT vendors so our clients benefit from rapid change rather than absorbing it. Our aim is to be a single source for very different needs, with services tailored to each client rather than sold from a catalogue.

More about the firm

How we operate

Leadership stays on the engagement, not briefed about it.

Senior leadership has guided the firm since 2007, and stays directly involved in delivery — from screening decisions through to production support.

  • Why the firm existsMost suppliers separate the people from the delivery. We are accountable for both.
  • How leadership worksSenior leadership stays directly involved in every engagement, with the four core values applied to hiring decisions as much as to client work.
  • What we believe about talentA resource who cannot do the work is not a saving. Screening is where cost control actually happens.
