Capability
Any business facing a cyber renewal
Cyber insurance, decoded — before the renewal letter arrives.
Cyber Insurance Readiness Audit · engagement template
Most small businesses sign a cyber insurance policy because their broker said they had
to, then never look at the document again. Then renewal hits and the premium jumps, the
application has thirty new questions, and nobody internally knows the answers. We step
in as the technical voice in that conversation — running a fixed-scope audit against
the ten controls insurers verify, cross-mapping every finding to the specific carrier
questionnaire it answers, and producing the Evidence Pack underwriters actually accept.
Documentation an insurer can read, paired with evidence that proves the controls are
real — not just promised.
Premiums often reduced at renewal. Coverage gaps surfaced before they become claims.
Senior-level expertise at SMB pricing. Starting at $4,500.

Healthcare · regulated practices
A compliance binder built once, maintained forever.
HIPAA Security Rule Readiness · engagement template
For HIPAA-covered entities, compliance season tends to look like a panic — three weeks
of digging through email threads, screenshotting settings, and writing policy documents
from scratch because last year's didn't get saved anywhere. We replace that pattern
with a living compliance program. We deliver the full Security Risk Analysis the rule
requires, the policy and procedure suite mapped to the 2026 Security Rule update, the
BAA inventory and review, and the evidence binder your OCR auditor or malpractice
insurer will ask for — then keep it current quarter after quarter so the next
regulatory cycle isn't a panic.
Audit prep goes from weeks to days. Renewal applications get answered with evidence,
not promises. Compliance becomes a quarterly rhythm instead of an annual fire drill.
Starting at $7,500.

Case study
Regulated enterprise · multi-site
From spreadsheets to a risk program your stakeholders actually read.
Regulated enterprise · multi-site risk assessment program
When we walked in, the assessment program was a sprawl of spreadsheets and tribal
knowledge — every analyst running it differently, evidence stored across four tools,
findings scored against a methodology nobody had written down. The work was good; the
packaging was killing them. We rebuilt the program around a defensible, repeatable
process: a master control questionnaire, a documented methodology, an evidence-capture
standard, and the reporting cadence stakeholders had been asking for and never getting.
Built once, maintained quarter after quarter, scoped to satisfy the auditors and
underwriters on the other side of the engagement.
Assessment cycle time meaningfully reduced. Evidence pack delivered every cycle. The
relationship has outlasted multiple compliance cycles and counting.

Case study
Regulated enterprise · cyber liability
An evidence pack that satisfied an enterprise carrier underwriter.
Cyber liability evidence engagement · enterprise scale
The client had the controls in place but couldn't prove it. Their carrier was asking
for evidence on safeguards the client knew were enforced — but the policy excerpts,
configuration exports, and audit logs were scattered across systems and IT vendors with
no single owner. We built the evidence pack from the ground up: 10 control domains
mapped to the carrier's specific questionnaire, every claim paired with the artifact
that proves it, every finding either closed or accompanied by a defensible exception.
When the carrier asked follow-up questions, the answers were already in the appendix.
Underwriter accepted the submission without follow-up exceptions. The same evidence
pack now updates quarterly with minimal effort. Renewal cycle compressed by weeks.

Retail · Fueling station · PCI environment
Two days of downtime cost them $200K. We rebuilt around the controls insurers verify.
A North Scottsdale convenience store & fueling station
When we walked in, the network was a decade of decisions stacked on top of each other —
a failed firewall replaced by a consumer router, unmanaged switches daisy-chained
behind the POS, end-of-life equipment that hadn't received a security patch in months.
That posture was a cyber insurance denial waiting to happen. We mapped every cable,
identified the systems that actually drove revenue, and rebuilt the network around the
controls a cyber liability carrier would verify — segmented payment paths per the
processor's PCI guidance, enterprise infrastructure with LTE failover, patched and
documented equipment, labeled cabling any future technician (or auditor) can follow.
Architecture aligned with payment-processor PCI best practice. WAN failover armed and
tested. $1,000+/month in recurring telecom savings. An environment the next renewal
questionnaire can be answered honestly from.

Growing SMB · multi-year relationship
A long-term partnership that turns ad-hoc fixes into a defensible program.
A growing Phoenix-area business · multi-year engagement
The client came to us doing what most growing businesses do — solving each technology
and compliance problem the moment it appeared, with a different vendor or a
friend-of-a-friend each time. The result was predictable: systems that didn't talk to
each other, controls that existed in name only, and a pile of recurring bills nobody
was auditing. We stepped in as the dedicated security and technology partner — single
point of contact, ongoing monitoring, vendor liaison, evidence pack maintained quarter
after quarter, and the strategic conversations about what to invest in next as the
business grows.
One partner, one monthly investment, no surprise invoices. Compliance posture renewable
year after year. Owner gets to focus on the business instead of the technology
underneath it.

Multi-location retail · office · facility
Access controls and surveillance that also satisfy the insurance questionnaire.
Physical security remediation · engagement template
Most physical security setups are three vendors duct-taped together: one for the door
locks, one for the cameras, one for the alarm. When something happens at 2 a.m., the
owner logs into three apps and stitches the story together by hand. We deploy
converged systems where the badge reader, the camera, and the alert engine all live on
the same network and surface in one pane of glass — and we document the deployment
against the physical security controls cyber insurance carriers and HIPAA auditors ask
about. An after-hours alert pulls the relevant clip and sends it to the owner; the
policy and procedure documentation maps to the safeguards on the application.
Alerts come with video already attached. Insurance underwriters give better rates.
Physical safeguards documented in a form an auditor accepts. Staff actually use the
system because it doesn't require three logins to be useful.

Capability
Any business · senior advisory
"Is this what good looks like?" — a senior read on what's on your desk.
vCISO advisory hour · engagement template
Sometimes you don't need a full audit. You need a senior cybersecurity expert to look
at the proposal on your desk and tell you, plainly, whether it's reasonable — the
cyber insurance policy renewal, the vendor security questionnaire that just landed, the
MSP's quote, the OCR notice you didn't expect, the breach notification you're not sure
how to handle. No upsell, no pitch at the end of the call. Just an honest, plain-language
read from someone who has seen enough of these to know what fair looks like, what
defensible looks like, and what doesn't.
Better decisions, made with a second pair of senior eyes. Sometimes it saves you a
renewal denial. Sometimes the right call was to sign — and now you know why.
