Kevin Johnson’s career runs through some of the most demanding security environments in the country: Air Force law enforcement and contingency operations in Afghanistan, presidential security details, and engagements inside the Department of Defense and the IRS. He went on to lead breach response and data-review programs in the private sector and served as Chief Information Security Officer for a national law firm.

Every one of those rooms enforced the same rule: decisions get examined, so the work has to stand on its own. Veil Group is that career distilled into a company.

From national security to the private sector

In federal service, the work protected national leaders and the government’s most sensitive systems. In the private sector, it translated: organizations in crisis needed someone who had managed high-pressure incidents before, could secure what mattered, and could explain the findings to boards, counsel, and regulators without flinching.

Why Veil exists

Veil Group was founded to give organizations what every one of those rooms demanded: straight answers, defensible work, and an expert who handles the matter from the first call to the last. Veil Group, LLC is a veteran-owned business verified by the Texas Veterans Commission.

“I’ve spent my career in rooms where the details had to be right.”
