He answers most of this in the other thread:
Yes Sir, most of these companies fall into the category of Managed Security Solutions Provider, or MSSP.[1] They usually provide other services such as policy review, vulnerability assessment (technical and physical), event monitoring, incident response and disaster recovery. The firm I work for deals specifically with hospitals. Due to HIPAA[2] and HITECH[3] regulations, Covered Entities[4] are required to have comprehensive assessments that include the physical PenTest I described.
And I'm pretty sure these companies don't really exist as covert ops, but as far as being covert only a small fraction of the management would know what is going on so that the test can be as legit as possible.
Edit: He also says in the other thread that only the chief of security and C-level managers (whatever that means) know he is there, so a handful of people tops.

Just in case Bob doesn't get around to you, I've always pronounced it like it's spelled with the double Z's making a "ZZZ" sound and then a T on the end.
I saw it referenced on a forum that Elaine Cunningham once said that Drizzed rhymed with "pissed" (so Drissed with a harder T sound for the d, Drisst) but could find no proof. I like both but will probably stick with Drizzt unless Bob makes a correction.
