Virga Security is an independent advisory firm for regulated and high-risk environments. We reduce your risk, support compliance, and strengthen operational resilience. And because we sell no hardware, our only interest is yours.
Most security firms assess your risk, then sell you their fix. We don't install, resell, or take commissions, so every finding and every recommendation serves one interest: yours.
No gear to sell, no installation contracts to win, no vendor kickbacks. Our assessments stand on their own, which is exactly why regulated buyers trust them as third-party evidence.
Fifteen-plus years across DoD, DHS, and GSA environments, applied to your facility. We bring the standards used to protect the nation's most sensitive sites, explained in plain language.
Woman-owned and disabled-veteran-owned small business. For government buyers and primes, working with Virga Security helps meet socio-economic contracting goals while getting specialist depth.
Most firms hand you a device, a report, or a single fix. Virga Security builds the program that ties everything together: physical, operational, and cyber security governed by one coherent strategy, sized to your risk, your regulations, and your budget. One program, one owner, one standard — instead of a drawer full of disconnected solutions.
Access control, surveillance, perimeter, and facility protection, designed and layered as one system rather than bolted on piece by piece.
Protecting the processes, movements, and information adversaries actually exploit — the OPSEC layer most programs overlook.
Vulnerability assessment, a phased roadmap, threat monitoring, incident response, and data protection aligned to NIST 800-53 and RMF.
The standards, procedures, and documentation that make your program auditable, defensible, and ready for any regulator or board.
Vetting, awareness training, and post orders that address the human layer — where most security programs quietly break down.
Disaster recovery, emergency response planning, tabletop and full-scale exercises so the program holds when it is tested.
The result is a single, scalable security program — right-sized from one facility to a multi-site enterprise — that you own outright and can defend to any regulator, auditor, or board. Because we sell no hardware and take no commissions, every recommendation serves one interest: yours.
We design physical security to construction-specification standard, producing coordinated documents across every CSI MasterFormat division that security touches — written to satisfy the DoD, DHS, and sector regulations your facility actually answers to. Your protection is engineered into the building from the site line inward — not improvised by an integrator after the walls are up.
A MasterFormat division tells the trades what to install. The governing standard tells them how well it has to perform. We write to both — so the design survives the review, the inspection, and the audit that follows.
Your environment may answer to one of these or several at once. We identify which apply before design begins, reconcile the conflicts between them, and document compliance in terms your authority having jurisdiction will accept.
From the fence line to the final door contact, one designer is accountable for the entire security envelope — coordinating with your architect, engineers, and integrators, and always on your side of the table.
Integrators and managed providers do necessary work, but when the firm assessing your risk also profits from the fix, the advice is never fully yours. Here's what independence changes.
| Virga Security | Typical Integrator / MSP | |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | Advisory only: zero hardware revenue, zero commissions | Margins on equipment, installation, and recurring contracts |
| Assessment findings | Defensible third-party evidence, accepted by regulated buyers | Often doubles as a sales proposal for their own products |
| Cyber + physical | One integrated cyber-physical methodology | Usually one domain; the other subcontracted or ignored |
| Federal depth | DoD, DHS, GSA experience; CISA/OBP trainer on staff | Varies widely; rarely regulated-environment specialists |
| Set-aside eligibility | Woman-owned · disabled-veteran-owned small business | Typically none |
| Who they answer to | You. Only you. | You, and their product and vendor partners |
Comparison reflects common industry business models, not any specific firm. We regularly work alongside integrators, as your independent oversight.
Our partnerships with iLamp and Shadow Security extend what we can deliver. They never change who we answer to: we take no commissions, from anyone.
Virga Security is led by Dr. Jessie Virga, a U.S. Navy veteran with roles at the Department of Homeland Security and NAVWAR, and service as a trainer for CISA's Office for Bombing Prevention. She holds an MBA in Homeland Security and a Doctorate in Business specializing in Homeland Security.
That combination of operator, federal practitioner, academic, and trainer of other security professionals is what your assessment is built on. Not a franchise playbook.
Founded as Mulier Bellator Security, Latin for "the woman warrior." The name evolved; the mission never did.
The name "Doctor Security" is more than a nod to the doctorate; it reflects how Dr. Virga approaches physical security. A good physician doesn't guess. They examine, diagnose, and treat the root cause. Dr. Virga brings that same discipline to protecting people, information, and infrastructure: assessing the environment, diagnosing the vulnerabilities and gaps that expose clients to risk, and prescribing practical, tailored safeguards to close them. With a Doctorate of Business Administration specializing in Homeland Security and years of hands-on expertise, Dr. Virga helps clients move from hoping they're secure to knowing they are.
