Simplify's Take

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

Founded in 2010, Tensley sells cleared SIGINT, Cyber, and SETA labor to NSA.
ZT ROAM automates zero-trust validation using breach simulation, continuous monitoring, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping.
Annapolis Junction headquarters plus prime and subcontract roles support CONUS and OCONUS missions.
