Point Loma & Liberty Station at a Glance
Key Industries
Point Loma is home to InventiveHQ and to one of the most important cybersecurity installations in the country: Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), the Navy's primary command for IT and cybersecurity operations. This makes Point Loma ground zero for defense cybersecurity in San Diego. Dozens of defense contractors, naval technology firms, and maritime businesses operate on and around the peninsula, many holding contracts that require CMMC compliance and CUI protection. Liberty Station—the redeveloped Naval Training Center—has become a hub for creative, technology, and professional services firms. We provide cybersecurity services to all of them, with the advantage of being their neighbor.
Cyber Threats in the NAVWAR Corridor
Point Loma's proximity to NAVWAR makes it a focal point for nation-state cyber espionage. Foreign intelligence services—particularly Chinese MSS and Russian GRU—actively target defense contractors near major naval installations. Contractors in Point Loma working on submarine technology, naval communications systems, and information warfare capabilities are high-priority targets.
The threat isn't theoretical. In recent years, multiple San Diego-area defense contractors have been compromised by Chinese APT groups seeking naval technology. Small contractors are the preferred entry point—they often have direct network connections to larger primes and NAVWAR systems but lack the security budgets of major defense companies.
Liberty Station's growing business community faces more typical SMB threats—ransomware, phishing, and business email compromise—but the professional services firms and technology companies there often serve defense clients, making them indirect targets of supply chain attacks. Even a marketing agency or accounting firm in Liberty Station can become an attack vector if they have access to a defense contractor's systems or data.
Defense & Federal Compliance from Point Loma
As a cybersecurity firm headquartered in Point Loma, we've built our compliance practice around the defense frameworks that dominate this area. CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, and DFARS requirements are our bread and butter. We understand the specific challenges facing small defense contractors—limited budgets, small IT teams, and complex compliance requirements that were designed for much larger organizations.
For Liberty Station businesses that aren't in the defense sector, we provide SOC 2 and NIST CSF compliance programs tailored to professional services, creative agencies, and technology companies. Many Liberty Station firms are growing fast and need to establish security foundations before they're required to by clients or regulators.
