Technical Focus

Microsoft 365 Security

Hardening Microsoft 365 environments for small businesses. Covers Defender, Entra ID, conditional access, and admin controls.

vCISO and Cybersecurity Leadership

Fractional CISO services for growing organizations. Security strategy, board communication, and risk ownership without a full-time hire.

Vulnerability Management

Identifying, prioritizing, and tracking vulnerabilities so teams patch what matters and avoid getting buried in noise.

Cyber Insurance Readiness

Preparing organizations to qualify for coverage, complete applications accurately, and meet insurer security requirements.

Compliance Readiness

Practical work toward NIST CSF, CIS Controls, HIPAA, and CMMC alignment without turning compliance into a checkbox exercise.

Third-Party Risk

Reviewing vendor security posture, contracts, and data access so businesses know what risk they are accepting before signing.

AI Governance

Building guardrails for AI tool adoption. Data handling policies, acceptable use frameworks, and risk reviews for AI-assisted workflows.

Incident Response Planning

Building and testing incident response playbooks so teams know what to do in the first hour of a security event.

Security Awareness

Training programs and phishing simulations that change behavior, not just check a box for annual compliance.
