SDG Corporation

Founded in 1993 by Ajay Gupta, SDG Corporation has established itself as a provider of cybersecurity, technology consulting, and risk management solutions. Gupta, who serves as the company's CEO, launched the firm from a spare bedroom in his Norwalk, Connecticut townhouse, with an initial focus on advising CXOs on technology strategy and implementation. His background includes a Master of Science in Computer Science and early career experience at Shearson-Lehman Brothers, where he was part of a team that developed a real-time brokerage platform.

SDG Corporation operates on a business-to-business model, serving a client base that includes numerous Fortune 500 companies and large enterprise firms across sectors such as Financial Services, Travel & Hospitality, and Media & Entertainment. The company provides a suite of services encompassing advisory, transformation, and managed services. Its core offerings are concentrated in cybersecurity and risk management, Identity and Access Management (IAM), cloud security, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Revenue is generated through consulting engagements, system implementation, and ongoing managed support for these complex IT environments. In December 2024, private equity firm Recognize made a significant strategic investment in SDG to support its growth.

The company's history shows consistent expansion. In 1997, it moved into its first commercial office and established a technology center in India in 1998. By 2003, its headcount surpassed 100, and it opened a second technology center in Hyderabad, India. A key milestone occurred in 2012 with the inception of TruOps, a platform for delivering Security, Risk, and Compliance as-a-Service, which was later spun off as an independent company in 2018. SDG has also grown through acquisitions, such as CoreBlox. The company has formed strategic partnerships with other technology firms, including Strivacity, ObserveID, and NetWitness, to enhance its service offerings.
