Our story starts in 1999 with a real cyber attack. The lessons we learned became the foundation of a consulting practice dedicated to protecting organizations like yours.

Our Story

Born From Real-World Experience

Our firm was founded by small business owners committed to helping other business owners, non-profit organizations and cultural institutions tackle the challenges of cyber crime. Our story starts in 1999 — and the lessons we learned from real cyber attacks became the foundation of our consulting practice in 2010.

We are totally committed to protecting our clients' privacy, financial assets, intellectual property and reputation. We employ "zero-trust" cyber security principles to ensure that your organization meets "best practices" criteria as defined by CISA (U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency).

For most people in the cybersecurity industry, they never started out seeking this profession as their original vocation, but rather fell into it out of a need to fight "the bad guys." That's our story too — and it's why we're so passionate about what we do.
