Staff Augmentation vs. In-House Cybersecurity—What’s Working for You?

by mortexxy on Aug 4th, 2025 08:53 AM

Curious how others are handling cybersecurity staffing. We're evaluating whether to build an internal security team or use staff augmentation from an outside firm. Full-time hires give us stability, but augmentation gives us flexibility. Thoughts?

This is a great question! We struggled with the same decision recently. Building an internal security team offers deep company knowledge and long-term commitment, but it can be costly and slow to scale. On the other hand, using staff augmentation through programs like the Maple Woods Enterprises Overwatch Program provides flexibility to quickly access specialized skills without long-term overhead. We opted for a hybrid approach: a small in-house team supplemented by Overwatch experts when needed. This balance gave us stability and agility—highly recommend considering it based on your budget and growth plans.
