JACKSONVILLE, FL — April 29, 2026 — Traverge, LLC, a cybersecurity consulting and assessment firm serving the federal, defense, and intelligence communities, today announced that it has received official Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) through the SBA’s Veterans Small Business Certification (VetCert) program.
The SBA VetCert certification validates that Traverge is owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans, meeting the rigorous eligibility standards established under federal law. Traverge has been certified as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), effective April 29, 2026.
What This Means for Our Federal Partners
The SDVOSB certification opens significant new pathways for federal agencies to engage Traverge through sole-source and set-aside contracting vehicles specifically designated for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.14, contracting officers can award sole-source contracts up to $5 million to certified SDVOSBs, and agencies are required to set annual procurement goals for SDVOSB participation.
For federal program managers, Chief Information Security Officers, and contracting officers seeking cybersecurity expertise, the SDVOSB designation provides a streamlined acquisition pathway to access Traverge’s capabilities in:
- FedRAMP Authorization — Rev 5 and 20x advisory, assessment support, and continuous monitoring
- DoD CC SRG Compliance — Impact Level 2 through Impact Level 6 authorization support
- CMMC 2.0 Readiness — Gap analysis, remediation, and C3PAO assessment
- Zero Trust Architecture — DoD ZT Reference Architecture implementation across all 152 capability outcomes
- AI Governance — CDAO Responsible AI Framework, NIST AI RMF, and AIUC-1 readiness
- Security Engineering — Cloud security architecture, DevSecOps, and penetration testing
Veteran-Founded, Mission-Driven
Traverge was founded by Jonathan Riddle, a U.S. Army veteran (82nd Airborne Division) and cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience across federal compliance, cloud security, and national defense programs. The firm’s team includes practitioners who have served as FedRAMP 3PAO Lead Assessors, Agency ISSOs, and engineers at some of the highest classification levels in the U.S. government.
“This certification is a milestone that reflects what Traverge has been from the start: a veteran-led firm built to serve the federal mission,” said Jonathan Riddle, Founder and Principal. “We’ve been on every side of the compliance table—as assessors, as consultants, and as the engineers building the systems under review. The SDVOSB certification now gives federal agencies a direct contracting path to that depth of experience.”
