Element Solutions
Element Solutions operates at the intersection of government IT and healthcare data - two sectors where security failures aren't theoretical and compliance is non-negotiable. Founded in 2009 and based in Washington DC, the firm holds a GSA MAS Schedule contract and HUBZone certification, positioning it squarely in federal procurement pipelines. The team is remote-first. The technical stack maps directly to threat surface areas that matter: Cloud Infrastructure and Migration means they're handling the lift-and-shift (and ongoing posture) of workloads that often touch PII and PHI. FHIR compliance puts them in the healthcare interoperability layer, where data exchange standards and access controls aren't optional - they're regulatory mandates. DevOps and Data Science round out the operational picture, suggesting CI/CD pipelines and data pipelines that both need hardening. For anyone in cybersecurity, the interesting signal is the mix: government contracts plus healthcare verticals plus cloud migration means the attack surface spans legacy on-prem systems, cloud misconfig, API security around health data exchanges, and the compliance stack (HIPAA, FedRAMP territory) that sits on top of all of it. Human-Centered Design and Healthcare Consulting indicate the team works end-to-end, from UX to infrastructure - so security roles here likely touch the full SDLC rather than siloed perimeter defense.
