Federal-grade cybersecurity and incident response — built and led by a TS/SCI-cleared practitioner with 10+ years of federal cyber operations experience.
White Rabbit Defense delivers tiered SOC operations, AI-augmented Splunk MLTK detection engineering, incident response, and federal IT support — for direct clients, prime contractors, and SDVOSB set-aside subcontracting partners.
Operational confidence and decisive execution across the full SOC lifecycle.
WRD is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded by a federal cyber operations professional with over a decade of experience running SOC operations, incident response, and detection engineering inside high-security government environments. That background shapes everything: how we staff engagements, how we escalate, how we document, and how we communicate with analysts, engineers, and leadership teams who need clarity under pressure.
We support direct clients, prime contractors, and partner organizations that need responsive cybersecurity capability without the overhead of a large MSSP. Located in the Augusta federal cyber corridor.
Six color-coded mission areas. One operational standard.
When client work falls into a mission area, that engagement adopts its discipline color across all deliverables.
SOC and incident response execution across the areas that matter most.
WRD delivers structured cyber support from frontline alert handling through engineering-depth escalation, Splunk engineering, and compliance advisory.
Frontline Alert Coverage
24/7 alert monitoring, initial triage, ticket creation, queue management, and accurate handoff documentation. First-line SOC operations that keep the pipeline moving without overloading downstream analysts.
Fewer false escalations. Faster queue clearance.
Threat Investigation & Case Development
Deeper log review, correlation, enrichment, and structured case development. Mid-depth analysis that separates real threats from noise before escalation reaches your senior team — with documentation that supports response decisions.
Informed escalation decisions. Less analyst fatigue.
Advanced Escalation & Detection Engineering
Senior-level handling of complex events, SIEM rule tuning, playbook refinement, and detection improvement. Engineering-depth support that builds stronger detection posture with each engagement rather than just closing tickets.
Detection improves over time. Engineering depth on demand.
A stronger SOC and incident response partner for direct clients and prime contractors.
WRD brings mission focus, flexibility, and practical cyber execution to clients that need capable coverage now and a partner they can grow with over time. As a certified SDVOSB, WRD qualifies as a similarly situated entity on SDVOSB set-aside contracts — giving prime partners maximum subcontracting plan credit with no compliance drag. WRD is practitioner-led, which means the people running engagements have done this work in federal environments — not read about it.

How can WRD help you?
Two common paths — both start with a direct conversation.
A sub that helps you win — and doesn't count against you.
WRD is a certified SDVOSB. On SDVOSB set-aside contracts, that makes us a similarly situated entity — meaning our work does not count against your 50% subcontracting limitation. Maximum credit. No compliance drag.
Similarly Situated Entity
As a certified SDVOSB sub on an SDVOSB prime contract, WRD's labor does not trigger the FAR 52.219 limitation on subcontracting — giving your proposal full flexibility on how work is allocated.
- TS/SCI cleared principal — verifiable
- SDVOSB + VOSB — double subcontracting plan credit
- No competing contract vehicles on the same NAICS codes
- NDA, MSA, and teaming agreement ready to execute within 48 hours
- No conflict with the prime — ever
