Cybersecurity
Dogwood was originally founded in 2001 as a cybersecurity services company by a former Director of Secure Computing Corporation; this is our core area of expertise!
Regulations and guidelines (such as ISO 27001) require agencies and business to bring the level of security of their policies, IT systems, applications, databases and personnel training to the highest of standards. These regulations and guidelines include ISO 27001, FISMA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards for risk management, security control assessments, continuous monitoring and incident reporting.

Business Continuity
No one thinks the unthinkable will happen to them, until it does: a broken water main floods a central business district, a tornado destroys a data center, an earthquake flattens a call center or a wildfire razes a product development lab.
Companies routinely insure their tangible property against loss from disaster, yet they forget that their most valuable assets- their intellectual properties and business processes- may not be adequately protected.
Organizations that have an up-to-date disaster recovery plan in place continue their operations with minimal disruptions in service, employee productivity and customer relations management. Those that don't are in serious trouble.
Our business is helping clients plan for success in all “critical infrastructure” areas. Our staff has extensive experience in disaster recovery planning (DRP) and business continuity planning (BCP), both in the public and private sectors as well as extensive certifications in threat management, DRP, BCP, computer forensics, data security and risk assessment.
Vulnerability assessments and Disaster Recovery Planning are just good business. They turn the uncertainty of "What if?" into a "Here's what we do now" when the unthinkable does occur.

Our hands-on project management services helps ensure the successful delivery of mission-critical information technology initiatives. Dogwood provides certified Project Management Professionals (PMP) project managers, delivering assurances to our clients that Dogwood consultants possess fundamental abilities managing complex programs using industry recognized program and project management best practices and real-world experience with mission-critical systems.

Recruiting Services
What are Dogwood’s Recruiting Services?
Within the government space, recruiting and staffing has become highly specialized and labor intensive – no different than the actual work being carried out on government projects these days. Understanding each particular agency’s need, and the specialized work to be performed in that environment, requires more than just access to a few resume websites.
It requires a company like Dogwood Management Partners with senior level government recruiting experience and a deep network of professional contacts.
