Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in regulated and compliance-driven industries including: healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (GLBA, SEC, FINRA), professional services (CPA firms, law firms), construction, nonprofits, and creative agencies. Our industry expertise means we understand your specific compliance requirements and risk profiles.

Industry expertise translates to faster time-to-value. We understand your regulatory landscape, common pain points, typical technology stacks, and what cyber insurers look for in your sector. This means less time explaining your business and more time solving problems.

We focus on small and mid-sized businesses—typically organizations with 10-500 employees and $5M+ in revenue. Enterprise security principles apply at every scale, but implementation must be right-sized for SMB budgets and resources.

Common frameworks we support include: FTC Safeguards Rule, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, and CCPA/CPRA. We also help with cyber insurance compliance requirements.

We complement your existing IT team or MSP rather than replacing them. Your IT provider handles day-to-day operations; we provide security strategy, compliance guidance, and oversight. We define what needs to be done; they implement it.
