Privateer IT, LLC is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone small business. Since 2014 we have delivered software engineering, cloud modernization, data integration, cybersecurity, and enterprise operations to federal agencies — work measured by whether the mission keeps running.
That is the company motto, and it is the whole promise. Privateer IT exists to give federal programs a delivery partner small enough to move quickly and disciplined enough to withstand the oversight that comes with public money.
In practice that means service levels we measure rather than assert, security evidence produced by how a system is built rather than assembled at the end, and reporting a program manager can take into a governance review without rewriting it first.

Historically, a privateer was a privately owned vessel commissioned by a government to advance national objectives — private ownership, public purpose, and formal accountability to the authority that issued the commission.
Founded by U.S. Navy submarine veteran Jerry Bennett, Privateer IT carries that legacy forward as a private enterprise entrusted to support critical public missions with agility, discipline, and accountability.
The naval identity is where the company came from. The work itself is measured in availability, security posture, delivered capability, and mission outcomes.
