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
What Are The Different CMMC Compliance Certification Levels?
Level 1: Covers essential cyber hygiene—think antivirus tools and access controls.
Level 2: Focuses on intermediate cybersecurity practices, such as incident response and system monitoring, to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Level 3: Introduces advanced practices for safeguarding highly sensitive data. Certification levels vary depending on contract requirements.
Why CMMC Compliance Is Important?
- Without compliance, your company is ineligible to compete for DoD contracts—even if you’re technically capable.
- Industry data indicates that approximately 75% of defense contractors currently fall short of CMMC standards, and data breaches in this sector cost upwards of $4.5 million on average.
- Compliance not only secures contract eligibility but also strengthens your overall cybersecurity posture—making you more attractive to commercial clients too.
