Cybersecurity Consulting
for Texas Businesses

Cybersecurity consulting for Texas businesses covers a lot of ground. Not every conversation starts with a scope document. Sometimes you need to talk through a compliance requirement, understand where to start, or get an assessment of where your security program actually stands.

What this is

Security advice for business owners who don't speak security

Security consulting is for situations where you need guidance before you can even figure out what service you need. Maybe your insurer asked for a risk assessment and you don't know where to start. Maybe a client is asking about your security program and you're not sure what to tell them. Maybe you received a compliance requirement and you want to understand what it actually requires before committing to anything.

We've had these conversations before. We know how to explain what something means without making you feel like you should already know it.

Scope and pricing vary because every situation is different. Some engagements are a single call. Others involve a review of your environment, a written assessment, and a follow-up conversation. We'll tell you what makes sense for your situation.

What we cover

Topics we help with

Security posture review
Where do you stand? What's your biggest exposure? What would we focus on if we were you?
Compliance and audit prep
What does PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2 actually require from a business like yours? What do you need to do before an audit?
Cyber insurance guidance
What are carriers asking for? What documentation do you need? What controls are commonly required at renewal?
Security program planning
How do you build a security program for a business your size? Where do you start, and what's worth the investment?
Vendor and contract review
A customer is asking about your security. What questions do you need to answer, and what does your environment actually look like?
Incident assessment
Something happened and you're not sure what it means or what to do about it. Let's talk through it.
Who it's for

You don't need to know what you need to ask

The most common thing we hear: "I know I should be doing something about security, but I don't know where to start." That's the right conversation to have.

Received a compliance requirement
Your auditor, insurer, or a customer is requiring something. You're not sure what it means, what it costs, or where to start. We help you understand exactly what's being asked and what you need to do about it.
Preparing for cyber insurance
Insurers are tightening requirements. Applications now ask detailed questions about controls, assessments, and incident history. We can help you understand what's being asked and how to answer it.
Building a security program from scratch
Your business has grown to the point where "we use good passwords" isn't enough anymore. You need to build something, but you don't know what. We help you define what's proportionate for a business your size.
Something happened and you need advice
An employee clicked something, a vendor had a breach, or you got a strange notification. You're not sure if it's serious or what to do next. Describe what you're seeing and we'll help you figure out the next move.
Compliance frameworks

We speak the language your auditor is using

Compliance frameworks are full of requirements that sound specific but require judgment to interpret for your business. We help Texas businesses understand what's actually required and what a proportionate response looks like.

// PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry
Required for any business that processes credit card payments. Annual penetration testing, quarterly vulnerability scans, and documented security controls. We help you understand your applicable requirements and what to address first.
// HIPAA
Healthcare Data
Required for healthcare practices, dental offices, medical spas, and any business handling protected health information. Risk assessments, access controls, and breach notification are common areas where businesses need guidance.
// SOC 2
Service Organization Controls
Expected for SaaS companies and service providers handling customer data. SOC 2 audits examine your security controls against five trust service criteria. We help you understand the gap between where you are and what an auditor will look for.
Pricing

Scope varies. We'll tell you what makes sense.

Security consulting doesn't fit a fixed price because every situation is different. A single scoping call to figure out what you need is different from a full security posture review with a written assessment.

We'll have a quick conversation to understand your situation and tell you exactly what engagement makes sense and what it will cost before you commit to anything.

If you just need a question answered or a second opinion, email us. We'll respond within one business day.
