Folsom, California · Veteran-led
The Baran Agency keeps companies ready on three fronts: the people on your floor, the systems they run, and the encryption that has to outlive both. One firm, veteran-led, built for the defense industrial base and the mid-market that supplies it.
The read: 10 minutes, scored on the spot, free. No contact details until you have seen your number.
The counter-move. Re-keyed with NIST post-quantum standards. Still dark in 2040.
Most firms sell you a service. Baran keeps you ready. Readiness is specific: seats filled with people who stay, systems that pass the audit an adversary runs daily, and secrets that stay secret after the encryption protecting them expires. We work all three because on a real contract, they are the same problem.
Staffing and direct hire for industrial, aerospace, and cleared roles. TIG welders to spec, NDT inspectors, directors of quality, facility security officers. We place them, and through the Evoove marketplace we run the whole workforce behind them: crews built for 400 and up, drawn from a partnership network of more than 1,000 workers.
The talent deskCMMC stopped being a draft. Since November 2025 it is a clause in live DoD contracts, and it flows down to every shop in the chain. Gap assessments, remediation, breach response planning, and the certified people to run all of it. Delivered by operators with US Cyber Command backgrounds.
The cyber deskEncrypted data stolen today gets read the day quantum hardware catches up. Federal deadlines already assume it: new procurement must support post-quantum cryptography by January 2027. We inventory where your cryptography lives, rank what is exposed, and plan the migration. Almost nobody at mid-market has started. Being early is the whole advantage.
The quantum deskThe read
Not a sales call. A read: ten minutes of pointed questions, scored on the spot, on whichever front worries you. You see your number before we ever ask for your name, and the first insight is yours to keep either way.
If the number is good, we tell you that too, and you lose nothing but ten minutes. If it is not, you get the full read: your gaps ranked by an operator and a one-page plan, delivered in a 20-minute debrief. No charge. The work only starts if you want it to.
Aerospace and defense manufacturers do not hire vendors casually. Every placement is export-controlled, every audit has teeth, and a bad hire is a program risk. That is the environment Baran works in every week.
Our clients keep their names off vendor websites, which tells you what kind of clients they are. Recent work: an ITAR-regulated aerospace and defense manufacturer, one of the world's largest aircraft makers, and the supply chain around them.
Crews are on payroll in Southern California this week. Staffing orders are open from Seattle to New York. Headquarters is Folsom, California.
Ten minutes. Scored on the spot. The worst outcome is that you learn you are ready.
