Everyone has data. We help you secure it.
Everyone has computers, everyone has data, and everyone has to secure it to a meaningful level. Between us, Brian and Dan have worked with organizations across many industries, and we bring the same risk-first, problem-solving approach to every client: understand what matters to your business, find what threatens it, and fix it in the right order. No compliance requirements? Even better. We can focus on the initiatives that matter most to your business.

What every organization has in common
Different industries. The same problem.
The details change from one industry to the next. The basics don't.
- Data worth protectingCustomer records, financials, designs, case files, donor lists. Everyone holds something an attacker wants.
- Systems you depend onEmail, file shares, cloud apps and the business systems that keep the doors open.
- Attackers don't check your industryRansomware goes after whoever is exposed, not whoever is regulated.
- Questions from outsideCustomers, partners and insurers asking how you protect their data.
- A small team, or noneIT carrying security alongside everything else.
How we work
Flexible by design. Risk first.
We don't force a template built for someone else's industry onto your business. We learn what you do, what you depend on and what would hurt most, then shape the work around it. Without a compliance checklist setting the agenda, your budget goes to the initiatives that matter most to your business, ranked by risk.
Flexible
Shaped around you.
Scope, pace and depth set by your business, your team and your budget, not by a fixed package.
Risk first
Problem-solving, not box-checking.
We find what actually threatens your business and fix it in the order that reduces the most risk.
Fewer rules
Effort where it counts.
No compliance mandate means every hour can go to the work that protects your business most.
When you need a framework
No regulator? Still built on proven ground.
Even without a mandate, we build on frameworks people recognize, so your program stands up to customers, partners and insurers.
NIST CSF 2.0
A common framework to build your program on and report progress against.
CIS Controls
A prioritized, practical set of safeguards that fits smaller teams well.
Cyber insurance
The controls insurers ask about at renewal, in place and working, not just checked on the application.
Customer and contract requirements
Security questionnaires and contract clauses, answered from one consistent program.
NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC
For manufacturers and suppliers handling controlled unclassified information on defense contracts.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001
If customers start asking, we get you ready.
How we help
Services our clients use most.
Runs on one risk language
Scored with your methodology.
Every finding is scored the same way as the rest of your program. Already have a methodology? We use it. If not, we build it with you first, in a single workshop.

What people ask us.
Do you work with organizations in our industry?
Very likely. Between us, Brian and Dan have worked across many industries, including manufacturing, nonprofits, law firms and government. If yours is new to us, the approach still works: every organization has systems, data and risks to rank.
We don't have compliance requirements. Do we still need this?
Yes, and it makes the work easier. Without a mandate we can focus on what protects your business most: the systems you depend on, the data you hold and the threats most likely to hit you.
We're a small organization. Is this too much for us?
No. We size the work to your team and budget, and we tell you plainly what can wait.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes. We help you meet what your insurer asks for and make sure the controls behind your answers are real.
How do we get started?
Tell us what you do, what you depend on and what worries you. We scope the work around that, starting with a short call.
