Spry Squared is a minority and woman-owned MSSP serving federal government and commercial clients with managed IT and cybersecurity services built around a rare hardware-level threat model. While most security vendors focus on network perimeters and endpoint agents, Spry Squared centers firmware integrity - the pre-boot attack surface that conventional tooling tends to ignore entirely. Their service stack spans network and endpoint management, vulnerability assessment, compliance frameworks (NIST, CMMC), and zero-trust architecture deployment, all delivered as an extension of client IT teams rather than arm's-length consulting. The technical scope is practical and broad: monitoring and detection layered with protection controls, PowerShell and Python automation, infrastructure across AWS and Azure, and operational tooling including ServiceNow, Palo Alto firewalls, and Riverbed. For federal clients, compliance is table stakes; for commercial accounts of any size, the pitch is enterprise-grade security without enterprise overhead. Spry Squared positions itself as break-fix support and strategic partner simultaneously - straightforward, consultative, and committed to long-term client relationships rather than one-off engagements. The firmware integrity emphasis is the operational differentiator here. Supply chain compromises, rootkits, and persistent implants often live below the OS, unreachable by traditional EDR or SIEM. Spry Squared's focus on this layer suggests a team that understands the threat landscape beyond what vendors typically sell and what compliance checkboxes typically demand. Led by CEO Linda Tousley Spry, the company operates with a federal contracting pedigree and the technical flexibility to serve organizations across verticals and scale.

Sprinklr operates a unified customer experience management platform processing interactions across social media, marketing, advertising, and customer service for over 1,900 enterprises globally, including 60% of the Fortune 100. The company went public on the NYSE in 2021 (ticker: CXM) and has been running since 2009 out of New York. The security surface here is substantial: the platform handles customer data flows across four product suites - Service, Social, Marketing, and Insights - all built on a single codebase. That architectural choice means vulnerabilities don't replicate across separate codebases, but it also means a compromise could theoretically touch every product line. The platform emphasizes real-time collaboration and AI-native capabilities, which translates to constant data ingestion, processing, and cross-team access patterns that need tight controls. Threat model centers on enterprise customer data protection, API security across social platform integrations, and access management for teams spanning service, marketing, and analytics functions. The company serves Fortune 100 accounts, which means compliance requirements (SOC 2, GDPR, industry-specific regulations) are table stakes. Defensive priorities likely include securing the AI pipeline, monitoring for data exfiltration across unified workflows, and managing identity across customer-facing teams with varying access needs.
