About Black Raven

We bring the discipline of a large federal program to the responsiveness of a small business: practitioners who have run enterprise security programs, now answering the phone themselves.

Black Raven Security was founded in 2019 in Mechanicsville, Maryland. We integrate and maintain physical access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection and integrated security management systems for federal agencies, and we compete for that work on equal terms: two of our prime contracts were won in full and open competition.

We also build our own tools. Our technicians work from the same calculators published in the ESS Toolbox, our service calls and preventive maintenance run in Field Tech, and our capture work runs in Paralynx.

BidSpeed's FY26 Small Business Security Company of the Year.
