Protiviti is a global consulting firm founded in 2002, wholly owned by Robert Half (NYSE: RHI). The firm operates from more than 85 offices across over 25 countries, serving nearly 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies and more than 80 percent of the Fortune 100. Its technical scope spans finance, technology, operations, data, digital, legal, governance, risk, and internal audit - domains where cybersecurity concerns sit close to the surface of enterprise architecture.
On the security side, Protiviti's work intersects with risk, governance, and technology consulting - areas that include advising on regulatory compliance, identity and access management, third-party risk, and security program maturity. The firm serves clients across financial services, technology, healthcare, government, and manufacturing, sectors where threat models range from credential stuffing and ransomware to supply-chain compromise and regulatory enforcement actions. Cybersecurity practitioners here are expected to understand the business context driving security decisions, not just the tooling.
The firm has been named to the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Engagements tend toward the advisory and managed-solutions model - think assessments, program build-outs, and ongoing oversight rather than product licensing. For security professionals, the draw is breadth: you work across industries, see diverse environments, and operate at the intersection of technical controls and executive-level risk conversation.
