SOSi’s core mission is to promote and protect the interests of the U.S. and its allies around the world. Since our founding in 1989, we have empowered our employees to develop solutions that break through barriers, inspire innovation, and build resiliency. Today, our motto of “Challenge Accepted” resonates through our work modernizing and securing legacy government IT systems, driving innovation for the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community, managing critical government facilities and infrastructure, delivering critical intelligence analysis, and supporting enforcement, humanitarian, and asylum operations at the border.

As a privately held and founder-led company, our creative and spontaneous culture enables us to be bold, act fast, own and take responsibility for our results, and build and maintain relationships that matter. SOSi offers a large company’s depth, breadth, and infrastructure, and the mission-focused agility and innovation of a small business.
