Cybersecurity Consulting Services
Our cybersecurity consulting services help you find your biggest security gaps, fix them in a sensible order, and build security into everyday IT and software work instead of adding it at the end.
Capabilities
- Risk assessments mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls
- Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and role-based access
- Configuration reviews for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
- Code and dependency scanning built into CI/CD pipelines
- SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness, policies and security questionnaires
Outcome: A remediation plan ordered by risk, with every closed gap retested and verified.
Who needs cybersecurity consulting services
We help organizations that know they have security gaps but lack the in-house staff to close them. Common triggers are a customer security questionnaire the company cannot answer, a cyber insurance renewal asking for controls such as multi-factor authentication, a move to the cloud, or a recent phishing incident. Many mid-sized companies have no dedicated security lead, so the work falls on an already busy IT manager. They need a clear list of what to fix first, and practical help doing it.
Our assessment and remediation process
We start by agreeing scope: which systems, data and locations matter most. We then review identity and access, endpoints, network, cloud configuration, backups and policies, using interviews, configuration exports and automated scans. Findings are rated by likelihood and impact and mapped to a framework such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or CIS Controls. You receive a remediation plan ordered by risk reduction per unit of effort. We can then help put the fixes in place and retest to confirm each gap is closed.
Security tools and frameworks we work with
For identity we work with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta and similar providers to set up single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and role-based access. Endpoint protection is usually Microsoft Defender or CrowdStrike. Cloud settings are reviewed with tools such as AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Wiz. For applications we add code and dependency scanning, such as SonarQube, Snyk or GitHub Advanced Security, into the pipelines built by our cloud and DevOps engineers. Reference frameworks include NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001 and OWASP.
How we engage and typical timelines
A security assessment for a mid-sized organization typically takes three to six weeks. Remediation projects, such as rolling out multi-factor authentication or tightening cloud permissions, often take one to three months each. Some clients keep us on a monthly retainer as a part-time security lead, reviewing changes, updating policies and answering customer questionnaires. If you need a full-time security engineer or analyst, we can supply one through our IT staffing services. We focus on consulting and implementation rather than running a round-the-clock security operations center.
Measuring security progress and common mistakes
We track measures you can verify: the share of accounts with multi-factor authentication, the number of admin accounts, time to apply critical patches, backup restore test results, and open high-risk findings over time. The mistakes we see most are buying security tools before fixing basics such as patching and access, writing long policies nobody reads, and assuming the cloud provider secures everything. Another is treating security as a one-off audit. Building secure coding habits into custom software development stops many issues before they reach production.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide 24/7 SOC services?
No. We focus on consulting and implementation. If you need round-the-clock monitoring, we can help you define requirements, compare managed detection and response providers, and connect their tools to your systems. We can then review their reports with you on a regular schedule.
Can you help with compliance such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
We can help you prepare by assessing gaps against the standard, writing policies and putting the required controls in place. The certification or attestation itself must come from an accredited auditor. We do not claim certifications on your behalf or promise a particular audit result.
Should we start with a penetration test?
Usually not. A penetration test is most useful once basic controls are in place; before that, it mostly confirms gaps an assessment would find for less money. We recommend an assessment first, then a test by a qualified tester after the main fixes are done.
What should most companies fix first?
In most assessments the quickest wins are turning on multi-factor authentication for every account, removing unused admin rights, patching internet-facing systems and testing that backups can actually be restored. These steps cost little and block many of the most common attacks.
How do you work with our IT team?
We work alongside them. Your IT staff join the assessment, review every finding and decide on fixes with us. We explain the reason behind each change, document configurations and run short training sessions, so the team can keep the controls in place after we leave.
