Cloud Solutions
Infrastructure that scales with you and doesn't surprise your CFO.
Cloud, Data & Reliability
Security proportional to your actual risk
Most mid-market companies are neither unprotected nor genuinely secure. They have tools nobody configured and policies nobody follows, and no clear view of what would actually hurt.

- Assessment then remediation or ongoing advisory
- Typical timeline
- 4–12 weeks for assessment and roadmap

Overview
Security spending goes wrong in both directions. Some companies buy tools that duplicate each other and sit misconfigured. Others assume they are too small to be targeted — which has not been true for years, since most attacks are opportunistic and automated rather than chosen.
We start with risk rather than product. What data do you hold, what would a breach cost you in dollars and customer trust, what regulations apply, and what is actually exposed? That produces a prioritized picture, and it is usually clear that a handful of unglamorous controls — MFA everywhere, patch discipline, tested backups, least privilege, phishing resistance — prevent the large majority of realistic incidents.
We also handle the security work that shows up as a sales blocker: SOC 2 readiness, HIPAA safeguards, security questionnaires and customer assessments. For many companies that is the immediate trigger, and it is a reasonable one.

Business benefits
What cybersecurity consulting changes for you
The reasons this work earns its budget, stated as outcomes rather than features.
Risk assessed before tools bought
Understand what you hold, what it would cost to lose and what is exposed, so spending follows evidence rather than vendor pitches.
Application and cloud security
Code review, dependency scanning, cloud configuration assessment and penetration testing against your actual systems.
Identity done properly
MFA enforcement, single sign-on, privileged access management and access reviews — the controls that stop most real attacks.
Incident response rehearsed
A response plan with defined roles, communication templates and tabletop exercises, because the plan is worthless untested.
Compliance made tractable
SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI readiness with gap analysis, policy development, evidence collection and auditor coordination.
Vendor risk covered
Third-party assessment and contract review, since a meaningful share of breaches originate with a supplier.
Problems solved
If any of this sounds familiar
These are the situations clients describe in the first conversation, and what we do about each.
“Enterprise customers require SOC 2 before signing.”
Readiness assessment, control implementation, policy development and evidence collection through to a successful Type I and Type II audit.
“We do not know whether we are actually secure.”
A risk assessment and technical testing that produces a specific, prioritized picture instead of a general feeling of unease.
“Staff keep clicking phishing links.”
Phishing-resistant MFA, email authentication and targeted training. Technical controls that survive human error beat awareness campaigns alone.
“We were breached and do not know what to do.”
Incident response support — containment, forensics, notification obligations under state breach laws, and remediation.

Questions
Cybersecurity Consulting: common questions
The questions we are asked most about cybersecurity consulting, answered directly.
Readiness typically takes three to six months. Total cost including consulting, tooling and the audit itself usually lands between $40,000 and $100,000 for a first Type II. Compliance automation platforms reduce the ongoing evidence burden considerably.
