Where is Cyberuptive headquartered?

Cyberuptive's home and corporate office is in Honolulu, Hawaii. We operate as a worldwide managed detection and response provider with delivery capability across 40+ countries, but our headquarters, our US SOC operations, and our leadership team are based in Honolulu.

How is Cyberuptive's SOC structured?

Cyberuptive operates two SOCs. The US SOC is physically and logically segregated from any other operation, staffed by US-based analysts on staggered 24/7 shifts. We also serve commercial clients in Asia-Pacific, where the Philippines is our established market and we have our APJ Headquarters in Cebu City; security operations for those clients are delivered from our US SOC.

What certifications does Cyberuptive hold?

Cyberuptive is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) for CMMC. We are actively working toward SOC 2 Type II. Our engineers hold vendor certifications across CrowdStrike, Trellix, Microsoft Security, Fortinet, and Cisco. Contact us for the current attestation package.

Does Cyberuptive work with defense contractors?

Yes. Working with defense contractors is a core part of our practice. We serve prime contractors and subcontractors under DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 obligations. Our team has direct assessment experience and operates a purpose-built enclave for CUI-handling customers.

About Cyberuptive

We're a Honolulu MSSP. Our customers feel that.

Cyberuptive was built to give Pacific-region businesses a security partner who lives in the same time zone, takes the same threat intel feeds the Fortune 500 takes, and answers the phone with their own name. That's it. That's the company.

Why we exist

The Pacific deserves better security operations.

For decades, Hawaii businesses had two choices: pay enterprise prices to a far-away MSSP that treated them as a low-priority remote site, or run security in-house with whoever had time on the IT team. Neither worked.

The Pacific defense industrial base, primes, sub-primes, and the dense network of small contractors supporting JBPHH, Schofield, and USINDOPACOM: needed something different. Something local. Something cleared, US-staffed, and built for CMMC 2.0 from day one.

That's why Cyberuptive exists. We bring Trellix and CrowdStrike to companies that wouldn't normally have access to either, and we run the SOC ourselves so nobody is calling a 1-800 number when the alert fires.

Honolulu, where we live, work, and run your security operations.

Where we operate

Honolulu HQ. Follow-the-sun U.S. SOC. Customers across Asia-Pacific and the U.S. mainland.

Our headquarters is in Honolulu, serving defense contractors and regulated organizations across Hawaii and beyond. Our SOC analysts are U.S.-based, working across multiple mainland time zones, a real follow-the-sun rotation that delivers continuous 24/7 coverage from cleared U.S. personnel. No offshore tier-1, ever.

Continuous coverage

A real 24/7, not a single shift

Honolulu starts the day for our SOC. Analysts on the U.S. mainland take it through the night. The handoffs are documented. The runbooks are shared. Coverage never has a seam.

U.S.-only personnel

No offshore handling, ever

Every analyst who touches your telemetry is U.S.-based. For DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC engagements we scope dedicated U.S.-citizen analyst pools and document personnel handling in the SSP.

Multi-region resilience

Built for INDOPACOM realities

HQ in Hawaii, staff across the U.S. mainland, customers across Asia-Pacific and CONUS. If a region degrades, the SOC doesn't. That matters more for Pacific defense customers than anyone else.

Core values

Four core values. How the work gets done.

At Cyberuptive, our four core values guide how our Honolulu-based team delivers managed cybersecurity, detection and response, and compliance support to clients across the Pacific and beyond.

01 Question the Status Quo

We stay curious, challenge assumptions, and look for better ways to protect our clients. By embracing change and testing new ideas, we continually improve our cybersecurity, managed security, and compliance services so organizations can stay resilient and ready for what comes next.
02 Be Relentless, Get It Done, Own the Outcome

We take ownership from the first question through the final result. In every managed cybersecurity and compliance engagement, we communicate clearly, follow through, and escalate early when needed. We stay accountable until the work is complete and the outcome is clear for our client.
03 Pursue Growth and Learning

Cyber threats and technology evolve constantly, so our team invests in continuous learning. Technical training, certifications, mentorship, feedback, and lessons from experience help us strengthen our cybersecurity expertise and deliver more effective detection, response, and compliance support.
04 Do It with Aloha

Do It with Aloha means bringing care, respect, empathy, and positive energy to our team and every client interaction. We support one another, enjoy the work, and celebrate wins together, while making cybersecurity human through clear communication, thoughtful details, and lasting trust. Our work aims to create a positive impact for our employees, clients, partners, and communities.

Our story, in four parts

From a Honolulu address to a worldwide practice.

Founded

Stage 01

Built in Honolulu to give Pacific-region businesses an MSSP that actually understood their threat surface and time zone.
Stack

Stage 02

Partnered with FireEye (now Trellix) to make Fortune 500 detection accessible to mid-market organizations and DoW subs.
Vertical

Stage 03

Built a CMMC 2.0 / DFARS 252.204-7012 practice in step with the December 2024 final rule and the November 2025 enforcement phase.
Today

Stage 04

Today we support clients and operations across four countries, with Honolulu as HQ and coverage through Canada, the EU, and APJ, running 24/7 SOC + MDR for defense contractors, regulated medium and large businesses, and MSP partners.

On the record, elsewhere

You don't have to take our word for it. Trellix, AWS, and Harvard Business Review did.

Two of the platforms we operate every day, plus one of the world's most-cited business publications, have published on the record about how Cyberuptive runs security operations. If a Honolulu MSSP claims Fortune-500-grade detection, you should be able to check.

From leadership

"We didn't start Cyberuptive to be the biggest MSSP. We started it to be the one a small Hawaii contractor, the kind doing real work for a real DoW prime, could trust on a Friday afternoon when something looks wrong on the network. The operations practice grew from there. The CMMC practice grew because customers we already trusted asked us to take that on. The values grew with us. They're not a marketing layer."
