Sthenos Technologies is an American software and information technology services company based in McLean, Virginia.
“Custom software, AI and machine learning systems, cloud migration and modernization, cybersecurity and legacy modernization, plus IT staff augmentation. We build mainly for small and mid-sized businesses, and also for enterprise clients and US federal, state and local government agencies.”
“Our published rates are $150 to $250 per hour, depending on the seniority and mix of the team. Before you commit a dollar, we build a free clickable prototype of your idea.”
“Yes. Sthenos LLC is SBA certified as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), active from 5 March 2026 to 5 March 2029. Our primary NAICS code is 541511, our SAM.gov registration is active (verify on SBA Small Business Search), UEI ULUZGKWYCJB7, CAGE 9RX92.”
“Sthenos LLC, 1775 Tysons Blvd, 5th Floor, Suite 04187, McLean, VA 22102, United States. Phone +1 (301) 793-3980.”
“No. Sthenos holds no GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract and appears on no GSA vehicle: GSA eLibrary searches for Sthenos, Sthenos LLC, our UEI and our CAGE code all return no matches. Agencies reach us through a set-aside, a sole-source award, a direct purchase or a prime’s vehicle.”
“Yes, within limits. FAR 19.1506 lets a contracting officer make a sole-source award to a WOSB concern in a NAICS code SBA has designated as substantially underrepresented, where offers from two or more such concerns are not expected. The anticipated award price, including options, must not exceed $5.5 million in our codes.”
“Our Unique Entity ID is ULUZGKWYCJB7 and our CAGE code is 9RX92. The SBA profile for that UEI and CAGE reports our SAM.gov registration status as Active.”
“SBA certified us as a Woman-Owned Small Business and as an Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business, both entered 5 March 2026. In the NAICS codes we work in the SBA designation is WOSB, so the restricted competition available is the WOSB set-aside, which EDWOSB concerns are eligible to compete in.”
“Google lists this as the second question on this search, and one competitor answers it publicly, so we will point at that rather than pretend the range is secret. ScienceSoft, which ranks on page one for this term, publishes $10,000 to $1,000,000+ depending on service type and complexity.”
“On a clean, small dataset that fits in a prompt, genuinely yes, and it is very good at the exploratory pass. That is not what a data analytics engagement is for.”
“A warehouse stores structured, modelled data ready for reporting. A lake stores raw data in its original form for exploration and machine learning. Most organisations end up with both, and the mistake is building the lake first and never modelling anything.”
“Often yes. Power BI reporting straight off production systems slows those systems and breaks whenever a source schema changes. A warehouse gives reporting its own stable, modelled copy, and the semantic layer on top of it is what stops two Power BI reports disagreeing.”
“They run a bounded engagement that produces a decision, a plan or an assessment you can act on: an assessment of where the risk is, a strategy and roadmap, a modernisation plan, a build-versus-buy decision, or a view of whether your team can execute the plan. It ends with an artefact and a recommendation, not with a standing service.”
“Consulting is advice and decisions; managed services is running the thing day to day. Consulting is bounded and priced as a fixed fee for a defined scope, or as time and materials. Managed services is ongoing and priced monthly, usually per user or per device.”
“What the deliverable is, exactly; who is actually doing the work; what happens if the recommendation is to do nothing; how they hand over; and what they have been wrong about. A firm that can say precisely what it would have to look at before it could quote the work is a firm that has done it before.”
“No, and neither is anybody else. HIPAA has no certifying body, and HHS states that it does not endorse or recognize private organizations’ certifications regarding the Security Rule. A HIPAA certificate tells you nothing about the software you are buying.”
“No. As of September 2026 Sthenos holds no SOC 2 report, HITRUST certification or ISO 27001 certificate; we build to those controls and hand the client the evidence. We say so in the first conversation rather than at procurement.”
“You do, entirely, from the first commit. The repository and the cloud accounts are in your name, with no licence back to us and no dependency on us continuing to exist.”
“The table above lists five requirements: access control on every route, audit logging of who saw which record and when and why, encryption in transit and at rest, retention and deletion rules per data class, and business associate agreements covering every subprocessor that touches PHI. Each is far cheaper built in than retrofitted.”
“Most pen testing services quote two to four weeks end to end for a single application or network segment: roughly ten working days of testing, then reporting. A full-scope red team engagement is scoped to the estate and the objectives, and the window is agreed with you before it starts.”
“A vulnerability assessment identifies and ranks known weaknesses using automated scanning across a wide surface. A penetration test is human-led and proves exploitability and business impact on a narrower scope. Regulated programmes typically run continuous assessment plus an annual test.”
“Testing is scheduled around your change windows, and destructive techniques such as denial-of-service are excluded unless you request them in writing. Escalation contacts are agreed before testing starts so anything unexpected is stopped immediately.”
“Yes, across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, covering identity and role configuration, storage exposure, network boundaries and infrastructure-as-code. Note that cloud providers require notification for certain test types, which we handle as part of scoping.”
“No. A report is evidence that a test happened, against a stated scope, with stated findings and their retest status.”
