About Us

Beryllium InfoSec Collaborative

Beryllium LLC, dba Beryllium InfoSec Collaborative, is an information security and cybersecurity company located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a small business owned by veterans, we apply our experience and expertise in security and system architecture across industry & government.

We are National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) experts who understand the importance of making cybersecurity foundational to every organization. NIST’s mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. At Beryllium, we believe securing our Nation makes a safer Nation.
‍
We spend the majority of our time with the small businesses within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), which makes-up the backbone of the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain, and where our Nation's best innovation for our defense system originates. We use a unique approach of strategic collaboration, education, and a holistic approach to helping contractors protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data, such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Covered Defense Information (CDI).

Our expertise in the NIST information security & cybersecurity guidance allows us to build affordable, practical, and secure solutions for any organization, regardless of size.
