RKON
Security-first IT services for private equity and enterprise organizations
About RKON
RKON is a technology and cybersecurity services provider founded in 1998, serving private equity firms and enterprise organizations. The company employs over 140 professionals across the United States and processes approximately 200 million security events daily. RKON supports more than 250 private equity transactions annually, providing IT advisory, execution, managed services, and security services.
The company's approach centers on security-first solutions embedded across IT infrastructure, cloud architecture, and operational technology. RKON delivers services spanning IT due diligence, carve-outs, platform creation, and ongoing managed services. The team includes former AWS consultants and brings over 300 combined years of leadership experience, following the acquisition of ScaleSec to strengthen cloud security capabilities.
RKON maintains dual focus areas: private equity solutions for deal teams and portfolio companies, and enterprise solutions for organizations requiring custom IT strategies. The company emphasizes tailored, full-stack solutions designed for complex environments requiring scalability, security optimization, and cost management.
Best For
RKON is best suited for private equity firms conducting technology due diligence, managing portfolio company IT transformations, or executing carve-outs and TSA transitions. Enterprise organizations with complex security requirements, multi-cloud architectures, or seeking fractional CIO-level strategic guidance will find RKON's approach aligned with their needs.
Key Strengths
- Deep private equity transaction experience with 250+ deals annually and specialized M&A technology advisory capabilities
- Robust security operations processing 200 million events daily with cloud-native security expertise from ScaleSec acquisition
- 26 years of operational history with established methodologies for IT due diligence, carve-outs, and platform creation
- Executive-level team with over 300 combined years of leadership experience including former AWS consultants
- Integrated service model covering advisory, execution, managed services, and security in single engagement
- Proven technical depth in GKE workload identity, VPC service controls, and SSH authentication architecture
Why Choose RKON
Organizations should consider RKON when they need security-integrated IT services with private equity transaction expertise or enterprise-grade managed services. The company excels in situations requiring fractional leadership, M&A technology assessment, or complex cloud security architecture implementation.
Engagements typically involve strategic advisory combined with hands-on execution, supported by ongoing managed services. Clients can expect a security-first methodology applied across all deliverables, with particular strength in Google Cloud Platform and AWS environments.
Healthcare Focus
RKON does not appear to specialize in healthcare technology services. The website content emphasizes private equity and general enterprise IT solutions without specific mention of healthcare clients, HIPAA compliance, healthcare certifications like HITRUST, or healthcare-specific technical capabilities such as HL7/FHIR integration or EHR implementations.
While RKON's security services and managed IT capabilities could theoretically support healthcare organizations, there is no evidence of healthcare vertical expertise, BAA availability, or healthcare-specific case studies on their website.
Ideal Client Profile
The ideal RKON client is a mid-market to large enterprise organization or private equity firm requiring sophisticated IT and security services. Best-fit clients face complex technology challenges involving M&A activity, multi-cloud environments, security maturation, or need fractional executive-level technology leadership without full-time hires.
