What believers are saying
- October 4, 2026 website updates show active SIGINT, Cyber, and Mission hiring.
- ZT ROAM pages updated September 24-26, 2026 cite DoD Zero Trust and CMMC alignment.
- October 2026 recruiting, Tech Talks, and SkillBridge programs strengthen veteran and clearance pipelines.
What critics are saying
- Tensley depends on NSA and DoD renewals; any recompete loss cuts headcount fast.
- Clearance-heavy staffing makes one failed program transition or sponsor lapse immediately expensive.
- ZT ROAM faces Mandiant, Tenable, and government-built tools; differentiation erodes in FY2027.
What makes Tensley Consulting unique
