Grid32 Employs U.S.-Based Engineers Only — No Outsourcing, No Offshore

A Policy We Never Compromise On

Every Grid32 engineer is a U.S.-based direct employee. We do not use offshore contractors, subcontractors, staffing agencies, or any third-party delivery model. Every person who accesses your network, tests your applications, or contacts your staff during a social engineering engagement is a full-time Grid32 team member who has passed a comprehensive background check.

Why This Matters for Security

Penetration testing requires privileged access to your most sensitive systems. During an internal network test, our engineers have domain-level access equivalent to a privileged insider. The integrity of everyone who touches your engagement is not a secondary concern. It is the foundation of the entire trust relationship.

Compliance Implications

For organizations subject to ITAR, CMMC, FedRAMP, or other government contracting requirements, the use of offshore personnel in security testing may create compliance violations. For financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and legal firms handling highly confidential data, the chain of custody over that data during a test matters.

Background Checks and Vetting

Every Grid32 engineer undergoes a thorough background check as a condition of employment. Many of our engineers come from backgrounds in government, defense, and critical infrastructure where security clearances are standard.
