G2 Ops, Inc.

The compliance bottleneck in defense cybersecurity is a real operational risk - Authority to Operate (ATO) timelines can stall systems for months, and maintaining continuous compliance across DoD environments is a grind that demands automation. G2 Ops builds for exactly this problem. The firm works with the Navy and broader Department of Defense, integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with cybersecurity automation and cloud-native architecture to modernize defense systems and keep warfighter readiness non-negotiable. Two internal tools define their technical approach: SOFIA and Monarch , both designed to accelerate ATO timelines, maintain continuous compliance, and surface cyber risk posture in real time. The stack leans into digital engineering and MBSE - think model-driven workflows over document-heavy processes - paired with automated security controls that map to the RMF and NIST frameworks defense teams actually operate under. The team skews toward people who understand the mission firsthand: roughly 30% are veterans with direct operational experience. G2 Ops has been recognized as a Military Times Best for Vets employer and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list eight times. The technical domains are cybersecurity, cloud-native solutions, and digital engineering, but the throughline is making compliance and risk management machine-readable rather than a paperwork exercise.
