Intel Driven Advisory
Security without intel is guesswork. We help GovCons and SMBs protect their cybersecurity investments with adversary-driven intelligence — from leaked credentials to attack surface blind spots.

About HostBreach
At HostBreach, we believe compliance alone doesn’t equal security. Defense contractors and GovCons invest significant time and resources into achieving CMMC and other frameworks—yet attackers exploit what assessments don’t measure: leaked credentials, misconfigured services, exposed APIs, and forgotten assets.
Founded by Franco Velasquez, a cybersecurity engineer and former incident commander in a FedRAMP Cyber Fusion Center, HostBreach brings the adversary’s perspective to compliance programs. Franco has led detection engineering and threat intelligence efforts through high-profile events like SolarWinds and Log4j, ensuring adversary insights guided real-world defense.
Today, HostBreach equips GovCons, RPOs, and platforms with:
- Adversary-style Intel Snapshots that surface exposures before audits and primes do.
- Continuous Advisory Intel including infostealer malware hits, attack surface monitoring, and email security gaps.
- AI-assisted Pen Testing for external, API, and web app risks—scalable for SMBs in the defense supply chain.
Our mission is simple: protect the investments contractors make in compliance by adding the intelligence that adversaries already use.

What we do
Protecting Your CMMC Investment with Adversary Insights.
From Compliance to Confidence
We help defense contractors and GovCons protect the investments they’ve made in CMMC and other frameworks by adding the missing layer of threat intelligence.
How we deliver value:
✔ Compliance with clarity – Streamline readiness for CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS without wasted cycles or checklist fatigue.
✔ Intelligence-driven security – Surface external exposures adversaries already see: leaked credentials, vulnerable services, and third-party/API risks.
✔ Resilience that pays off – Proactive visibility reduces the likelihood of breaches, protects entrusted CUI, and helps sustain DoD contract eligibility.
✔ Results, not hours – We focus on measurable outcomes that protect both compliance standing and business continuity.
What to expect:
-
AI-driven external exposure scans
-
Executive-level threat intelligence snapshots with red team simulations
-
Actionable remediation roadmaps that strengthen security and preserve compliance investments
Best for: GovCons and SMBs preparing for CMMC Levels 1–3, cyber insurance readiness, or DoD contract opportunities.

Benefits – Protect Your Compliance Investments
Security That Increases Revenue
Compliance frameworks (CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO, NIST) prove you have policies, but attackers don’t care about paperwork. They exploit what’s exposed: leaked credentials, misconfigurations, shadow IT, and vendor risks.
If you’ve invested years and resources into compliance, ignoring the adversary view makes you low-hanging fruit. One breach can bring:
-
Regulatory fines and penalties far beyond remediation costs
-
Loss of contracts or funding when auditors question your security posture
-
Insurance premium hikes from gaps between paperwork and reality
-
Reputational damage with primes, boards, and investors
The Intel Layer ensures your compliance journey is backed by reality and red team insights not just reports.
Security That Pays for Itself
Cybersecurity isn’t a cost, it’s a business enabler. Our clients secure contracts faster, lower cyber insurance premiums, and eliminate compliance roadblocks. You don’t pay for security – you invest in business growth.
No Overhead - Just Outcomes
You don’t need a bloated security team to see what attackers see. We deliver enterprise-grade intelligence without enterprise overhead. The Intel Layer is always updated, always adversary-aligned, and always focused on results.
Results - Not Reports
Most advisory firms bury you in paperwork. We deliver clarity: what exposures exist, how they affect sensitive data and what to fix first. Our focus is contract readiness, risk reduction, and business impact, not busywork.
Secure. Comply. Grow.
The Intel Layer turns adversary recon into business advantage.
Instead of generic security services, we focus on the three places intelligence matters most: before compliance, during operations, and for growth..
HostBreach and their team are highly qualified IT security professionals who understand customer service better than most computer firms with whom I’ve worked in the past. HostBreach is a highly skilled, exceptionally professional IT security firm. They warrant your most ardent consideration.
Exposure Readiness
Stronger Compliance, Lower Risk- Run a Snapshot intel report before audits or insurance renewals to uncover leaked credentials, exposed services, and vendor risks. You’ll know exactly what attackers see—so you’re not blindsided in assessments.
- Best for: SMBs prepping for compliance (CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST), cyber insurance, or due diligence.
Continuous Intel
Stay Ahead of Attackers- Monthly intelligence updates reveal new exposures—leaked creds, open services, third-party risks—that compliance paperwork won’t catch. This adversary view keeps your business secure between audits and pentests.
- Best for: Mid-sized organizations needing continuous visibility and compliance protection.
Growth & Trust
Turn Security Into a Differentiator- Show primes, boards, investors, and partners that your compliance is backed by real-world adversary intelligence. Reduce insurance costs, win contracts faster, and build credibility in competitive markets.
- Best for: Growth-focused businesses using security to increase valuation and market trust.
