Today
Government consulting
Dominion provides business analysis, data analysis and product ownership to federal departments and agencies. It also provides cyber security for government and education networks. It works through consulting partners who hold government panel contracts.
How we work
We work through consulting partners who hold government panel contracts. An agency engages us through a supplier it already uses. That keeps its procurement simple.
