Virga Security is an independent advisory firm for regulated and high-risk environments. We reduce your risk, support compliance, and strengthen operational resilience. And because we sell no hardware, our only interest is yours.
Most security firms assess your risk, then sell you their fix. We don't install, resell, or take commissions, so every finding and every recommendation serves one interest: yours.
No gear to sell, no installation contracts to win, no vendor kickbacks. Our assessments stand on their own, which is exactly why regulated buyers trust them as third-party evidence.
Fifteen-plus years across DoD, DHS, and GSA environments, applied to your facility. We bring the standards used to protect the nation's most sensitive sites, explained in plain language.
Woman-owned and disabled-veteran-owned small business. For government buyers and primes, working with Virga Security helps meet socio-economic contracting goals while getting specialist depth.
Every engagement is scoped to your environment, your regulatory obligations, and your budget, from a single facility walk-down to a multi-year security-by-design program.
Know exactly where you stand, before someone else finds out for you.
Security engineered in from day one costs a fraction of security bolted on later.
When something does go wrong, the plan takes over, not the panic.
Integrators and managed providers do necessary work, but when the firm assessing your risk also profits from the fix, the advice is never fully yours. Here's what independence changes.
| Virga Security | Typical Integrator / MSP | |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | Advisory only: zero hardware revenue, zero commissions | Margins on equipment, installation, and recurring contracts |
| Assessment findings | Defensible third-party evidence, accepted by regulated buyers | Often doubles as a sales proposal for their own products |
| Cyber + physical | One integrated cyber-physical methodology | Usually one domain; the other subcontracted or ignored |
| Federal depth | DoD, DHS, GSA experience; CISA/OBP trainer on staff | Varies widely; rarely regulated-environment specialists |
| Set-aside eligibility | Woman-owned · disabled-veteran-owned small business | Typically none |
| Who they answer to | You. Only you. | You, and their product and vendor partners |
Comparison reflects common industry business models, not any specific firm. We regularly work alongside integrators, as your independent oversight.
Our partnerships with iLamp and Shadow Security extend what we can deliver. They never change who we answer to: we take no commissions, from anyone.
Virga Security is led by Dr. Jessie Virga, a U.S. Navy veteran with roles at the Department of Homeland Security and NAVWAR, and service as a trainer for CISA's Office for Bombing Prevention. She holds an MBA in Homeland Security and a Doctorate in Business specializing in Homeland Security.
That combination of operator, federal practitioner, academic, and trainer of other security professionals is what your assessment is built on. Not a franchise playbook.
Founded as Mulier Bellator Security, Latin for "the woman warrior." The name evolved; the mission never did.

A focused consultation to understand your environment, obligations, and threat picture. We define exactly what will be assessed, and what a useful outcome looks like.
On-site and documentation review against federal-grade standards (NIST, RMF, CISA guidance), translated to your operational reality.
Findings in plain language, prioritized by risk and cost. Every recommendation is one you can hand to any vendor, because we're not bidding on the fix.
Optional owner's-side support while remediation happens: overseeing integrators, validating work, and re-testing until the gaps are closed.
Tell us about your environment. You'll get a direct reply from our team, not a sales sequence, with an honest read on whether and how we can help.
