Fast-growing Cybersecurity Consultancy Relocates to New Office Space in Maryland
Washington – June 2, 2015 – Secure Halo, an enterprise risk consultancy specializing in the proactive and holistic defense of trade secrets, intellectual assets and other sensitive information, today announced its plan to move to a larger and newly renovated office space in downtown Silver Spring, Md., to accommodate its growth. Secure Halo plans to be in its new 6,000 square foot facility on Wayne Avenue for at least the next five years.
The new headquarters will further support the projected expansion of Secure Halo’s business, including its support to global insurance underwriting markets and its traditional consulting business, while retaining proximity to the U.S. capital region, convenient transportation hubs, deep talent pool and now direct placement within Maryland’s cybersecurity epicenter.
“We evaluated numerous locations within the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area in our search for a new corporate headquarters and ultimately Silver Spring and Montgomery County were too attractive to resist,” said Sean Doherty, president of Secure Halo. “As a growing business, the various incentives and exciting partnership opportunities with initiatives, such as Cyber Maryland, will be beneficial to our continued success and reaffirms the commitment of state and local leaders in Maryland in attracting firms such as ours.”
In the past four years, Secure Halo has added an average of six to eight new employees per year and has expanded its range of products and services. In late 2014, Secure Halo received the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s SAFETY Act Developmental Testing and Evaluation designation for its Threat Vector Manager™ cyberrisk assessment solution. In early 2015, the company launched Secure Halo™, software used to collect and calculate risk scoring and domain maturity as well as a portal by which customers and insurance underwriters alike can access their security assessments in a secure and personalized platform.
Secure Halo is experiencing rapid growth, due in part to the company’s 2013 partnership with more than 15 Lloyd’s of London insurance underwriters and brokers to conduct holistic cyberrisk assessments for insurance products sold to operators of U.S. critical infrastructure and other markets, including private equity, healthcare, retail and maritime. With results obtained from Secure Halo’s holistic cyberrisk assessment, insurance markets are able to underwrite cyber risk and calculate annual premiums for cyberinsurance policies covering liability expenses in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
The move is expected to be completed by July 2015.
