Cybersecurity Consulting
Cybersecurity Consulting for Small & Medium Businesses
We find where your business is exposed, monitor your dark-web footprint, and give you a plain-English action plan to close the gaps. Real protection — right-sized to your business.
One breach can shut down a small business. Most never recover.
Small and medium businesses are targeted just as heavily as larger ones — often more. Attackers know SMBs have valuable data (customer info, payment details, payroll) and typically fewer defenses in place. The average SMB cyber incident costs between $25,000 and $150,000 in downtime, recovery, and lost customers. Roughly 60% of small businesses that suffer a major breach go out of business within six months.
The good news: most SMB breaches come from a small set of fixable issues — leaked credentials, unpatched systems, misconfigured email security, exposed cloud storage. Find them first, close them, and you've eliminated most of the risk. That's what we do.
How we help
Real security work, scoped and priced for SMBs.
External Attack Surface Assessment
We find what the internet knows about your business — exposed systems, forgotten subdomains, open services, misconfigured cloud accounts — the same way an attacker would.
Dark Web & Credential Monitoring
We check whether your company's emails, passwords, or customer data have been leaked in breaches — and set up ongoing monitoring so you know the day something new surfaces.
Vulnerability Identification & Prioritization
Scans and manual review to find real risks, ranked by what actually matters — not a 300-page PDF of irrelevant findings that nobody will read.
Plain-English Remediation Plan
You get a clear, prioritized action plan in language a non-technical owner can follow — or hand to IT. Every finding comes with a concrete fix, not just a problem statement.
Continuous Threat Intelligence Reporting
For clients who want ongoing eyes — we watch your external footprint, your credentials, and your industry threat landscape, and report changes that matter.
Security Awareness for Your Team
Short, practical training on phishing, passwords, and the actual risks small businesses face. No compliance theater — just the things that prevent the incidents we see every week.
What we find on almost every assessment
The same three or four issues show up again and again. Each one is an open door — and each one is fixable.
Leaked credentials on the dark web
We find employee emails and password hashes in breach dumps almost every single assessment. Most owners had no idea. Fixing this before an attacker finds it costs you almost nothing — after, it can cost everything.
Forgotten systems exposed to the internet
Old staging sites, retired admin panels, open file shares — the things an IT person "took care of" five years ago and nobody has thought about since. Attackers scan for these daily.
Misconfigured Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
Default settings that leave admin accounts unprotected, sharing permissions way too open, and login policies that let anyone try unlimited passwords. Fixable in an afternoon.
How an assessment works
Scope
A 30-minute call to understand your business, your systems, and what you're worried about. We scope the assessment and lock the price before starting.
Assess
We look at your external footprint, leaked credentials, cloud configuration, and key systems the way an attacker would — using the same techniques, in a controlled way.
Report & Fix
You get a plain-English report, prioritized fixes, and a walkthrough call. We can execute the fixes, or hand the plan to your IT team — your call.
Frequently asked questions
We're a small business — do we really need cybersecurity help?
Small businesses are targeted more than large ones, not less. Attackers know SMBs have valuable data and fewer defenses. The average breach costs an SMB $25,000–$150,000. A security assessment costs a fraction of that.
How is this different from what our IT guy does?
Most "IT guys" keep things running — printers, email, computers. Security is a different skill set. We're Security+, PenTest+, and Cloud+ certified, and we look at your business the way an attacker would. We complement IT, we don't replace it.
How do you price cybersecurity assessments?
Every assessment is scoped individually — we give you a fixed quote before we start, based on the size and complexity of your environment. You get a written report, a prioritized action plan, and a walkthrough call — not a stack of scanner output.
Do you do penetration testing?
We do external attack surface assessments that overlap heavily with pen testing — identifying what an attacker could reach and exploit. For formal pen tests required by compliance, we can scope that or refer you to a partner.
Will you find something on every business?
Yes — every single assessment we've done has turned up real, fixable issues. Usually several. The question isn't whether you have gaps; it's whether you want to know about them before someone else does.
Do you help with compliance (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)?
We help you tighten security in ways that support compliance, but we're not a compliance-auditor-replacement. For formal audits we can refer you to specialists and help you prepare.
