Small Business Cybersecurity Consulting
Enterprise-Grade Protection Without the Enterprise Price Tag
I help small businesses, startups, and lean teams lock down their operations with hands-on security hardening—email systems, employee devices, customer data, and business infrastructure. No six-figure contracts. No 200-page reports that collect dust. Just practical protection built around how your business actually works.

Big firms sell you a binder and leave. I work alongside your team to build security into your actual workflows—no disruption, no downtime.
Enterprise Security Firms
$50K+ annual contracts. 6-month onboarding. Designed for 500+ employee orgs. You get a compliance checklist PDF and a monthly invoice. Your 8-person team doesn't fit their model.
My Approach: Hands-On Partner
I embed directly with your team. We configure your actual tools together—your email, your cloud storage, your devices. You get working security, not a report about security.
What a Breach Actually Costs a Small Business
These aren't scare tactics—they're industry averages. The good news: most of these are preventable with basic security hygiene.

Why Small Businesses Trust Me
I don't sell fear—I solve problems. My security expertise comes from defending against real-world attacks, not just passing certification exams.
From Surviving an APT to Protecting Your Business
For one full year, I personally defended against sustained attacks from APT28 (Fancy Bear), a Russian nation-state threat actor—across every device, account, and network I own. I documented everything, built custom defense tools, and filed detailed reports with the FBI that contributed to Operation Riptide.
That experience gave me something no certification can: the ability to tell you exactly what matters and what doesn't when your business is on the line. I know which $12/month tool stops the same attacks that enterprise companies pay $50K/year to prevent.
I work exclusively with small businesses and lean teams because I believe you deserve the same protection as a Fortune 500—without the Fortune 500 budget. Every recommendation I make is something I've tested under real attack conditions.
