Security your board, auditor, and insurer can defend.

We help you select and oversee enterprise-grade protection — 24/7 monitoring, MDR, and compliance — placed with the right security partner for your risk, with us accountable for the outcome.

Security advice, not a security pitch.

We’re not an MSSP. The MDR/SOC partner we place is — vetted, accountable, and chosen for your risk, not our margin.

Cyber threats don't keep business hours, and most mid-market companies can't staff a full internal security team. We help you put enterprise-grade protection in place at a fraction of the cost - selecting the right monitoring, tools, and controls and holding the providers accountable. Ohio ranked top-10 for reported cybercrime losses in 2025, and mid-market firms (25-500 employees) are the most targeted: valuable data, fewer defenses.

Threats we help you shut down

The attacks actually hitting Ohio mid-market.

Phishing & credential theft

Email attacks targeting employee logins - the #1 entry point for breaches.

Malware that encrypts your data and demands payment - average ransom now tops $1.5M.

Insider threats

Malicious or accidental data exposure from current or former employees.

Network intrusion

Unauthorized access through unpatched vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.

What we help you put in place

24/7 SOC / MDR

A security operations center watching your environment and responding in real time.

Intrusion detection (IDS/IPS)

Multi-factor authentication

SASE & zero trust
