- The company generates approximately $4.0–4.55 billion in annual revenue and is ranked the #2 largest IT staffing firm and #4 largest overall staffing firm in the United States by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA).
Compliance & Certifications
- Insight Global has not publicly disclosed specific compliance certifications (such as SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001) for its own operations as a staffing and services firm, which is typical for staffing companies that do not handle regulated client data directly.
- Its cloud and cybersecurity services under Evergreen cover DevSecOps, cloud security, and cyber threat detection, and its internal security analyst job postings reference alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and SOC 2.
