Cybersecurity consulting for small businesses

Elite cybersecurity guidance built for small and mid-size companies. 20+ years of Fortune 500 offensive security experience, now in your corner, one high-impact conversation at a time.

What We Do

Precision security. Zero fluff.

Every engagement starts with a 1-on-1 consultation to understand your environment, goals, and constraints. From there, we custom-scope each service to fit your exact situation, no cookie-cutter packages, no wasted hours.

Fractional CISO (vCISO)

Executive security leadership on a monthly retainer. Strategy, policy, compliance oversight, IR readiness, and customer trust, for small businesses that need real CISO judgment without a full-time hire.

Security Strategy & Roadmapping

Architect a battle-tested cybersecurity roadmap aligned to your business goals. Framework selection, risk prioritization, and a phased execution plan, built to scale with you.

Attack Surface & Risk Exposure

Map your entire digital footprint, external, internal, and cloud. We quantify your real-world risk exposure and eliminate blind spots before threat actors find them.

Penetration Testing

Senior-led, manual penetration testing built on Fortune 500 offensive tradecraft. External, internal, web app, cloud, and social engineering, scoped to your business and priced for the mid-market.

Red Teaming & Adversary Simulation

Full-scope adversary simulation that stress-tests your defenses, your people, and your response playbooks. Real-world TTPs, objective-based engagements, and detection gap analysis for your SOC.

Security Architecture & Hardening

Hands-on deployment of WAFs, EDR, ZTNA, and next-gen firewall configurations. We engineer your defenses right the first time, so you don't pay twice.

Identity & Access Risk Assessment

Deep-dive analysis of your Azure AD (Entra ID) and on-prem Active Directory environments. Uncover misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and identity-based attack vectors that put your entire org at risk.

Security Maturity Assessment

Know where your security stands and exactly what to do next. NIST CSF 2.0 + CIS Controls v8 scoring, peer benchmarking, and a 12-month roadmap customized to your company's size, stage, and journey.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

Navigate NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS with confidence. Gap analysis, evidence strategy, and a clear remediation plan to get you audit-ready, fast.

Enterprise Product Readiness

Building a product for enterprise buyers? We've spent 20+ years on the buyer side inside Fortune 500 companies. We tell you exactly what to build, what to document, and how to pass enterprise security review on the first try.

SIEM Alert Optimization

Drowning in alerts? We review your SIEM rules, eliminate the noise, and tune your detections so your SOC can focus on the threats that actually matter.

SOC Threat Hunting Program

We assess your current SOC operating procedures and build a proactive threat hunting program tailored to your environment, tools, and threat landscape.
