HOW THE CYBER EXCHANGE WORKS

Scope and source projects through a guided process.

The Cyber Exchange is more than a project marketplace. It connects companies with cybersecurity, IT, and OT needs to firms that deliver and manage the work.

HOW IT WORKS

Three distinct roles. One shared system.

Requesters create detailed RFPs. Providers respond to well-scoped projects. Partners route work.

REQUESTERS

Create RFPs and post projects through the guided process.

PROVIDERS

Partners

Run a consistent,
structured professional services (PS) operation.

Posting an RFP:

The Cyber Exchange works best when you want to:
  • Quickly scope a project with AI or your own RFP
  • Match with pre-screened cybersecurity, IT, or OT Providers
  • Collaborate section-by-section and approve a clear SOW
  • Start projects fast, with shared expectations and deliverables
  • Post projects at no cost for Requesters. Providers only pay for work awarded.
  • Run recurring or phased projects that have clear outcomes
It might not be a fit if you’re looking for:
  • A full-time embedded contractor for a year or more
  • Ongoing hourly help without defined milestones
  • A resume bank or staffing-style model

The guided process walks Requesters through defining the scope before Provider selection begins. AI is used as an assistive tool to improve inputs and follow industry best practices without replacing human expertise. The result is a clearer RFP that better matches qualified Providers.

We firmly believe in using AI as a tool, not a single source of truth. Requesters can define project requirements more clearly while following industry standards. The tool also helps consistently structure requests to move quickly from request to execution with clearer expectations.

Providers are matched to well-scoped opportunities based on their engineers' technical capabilities and areas of specialization. This qualification model brings visibility to Provider experience while improving alignment between Requesters and Providers.

Creating an RFP is free for Requesters. 

Responding to RFPs:

The Cyber Exchange works best when you want to:
  • Get matched to real projects, not just post your profile and wait
  • Use AI to help generate proposals and statements of work
  • Only pay when you win work (15% platform fee)
  • Create proposals with confidence on scoped projects, not vague RFPs
  • Offer repeat services or long-term work, with structured project outcomes
It might not be a fit if you’re looking for:
  • An embedded or long-term staffing role
  • Hourly gigs without clear deliverables
  • Resume submission to a job board-style system

Project Requesters follow a guided RFP process to develop scopes with detailed project requirements before they reach you.

Providers match with qualified projects based on their engineers’ specializations. You can also browse and submit a response to additional projects on the board.

  • There is no upfront cost to be a part of The Cyber Exchange. Providers can browse projects, submit proposals, and set up their profile for free.
  • Fees are tied to successful project awards, which are after a signed SOW. The initial fee is 15%. For example, you win a $10,000 job. The Cyber Exchange takes a $1,500 platform fee. You keep $8,500.
  • We can discuss potential discount opportunities, such as volume discounts for consistent delivery, lower rates for top-rated Providers, and custom rates for invited programs.

Partnering with The Cyber Exchange:

Partners get access to a configured environment to source, route, and manage delivery. This can include a custom board, standardized SOWs, and staged routing.

No, partnering mirrors the same process. Partners simply gain templates and a private dashboard for preferred Providers before escalating publicly.

Yes, you can build out your project board and share it with internal teams and channel partners, or open it to public responses. Have specific requirements? Reach out to our team to discuss which customizations are feasible for your needs.

The cost varies depending on the level of customization you select.

The project can be released publicly without rebuilding the request or restarting.

Using The Cyber Exchange platform:

Requesters and Providers can create profiles to either start building RFPs or browsing projects. Companies interested in partnering with The Cyber Exchange shouldreach out for a consultation.

The platform is built around three distinct roles to scope, source, and manage projects. Requesters post detailed RFPs through a guided process, and Providers respond to RFPs aligned with their engineers’ specializations. Partners can customize their work routing; they can either use their own network or open it up to other Providers on the platform.

No, after the SOW terms are accepted, the platform steps out until point-of-purchase closeout, when both parties are prompted for reviews.

Our platform is built on ProServ Solutions Group’s sourcing and delivery model, enabling structured scoping, Provider selection, and delivery routing.
