Our Cybersecurity Approach

A proven, structured methodology that helps Hudson Valley SMBs move from uncertainty to confidence. The engagement follows three phases over 90 days. Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Discovery and Quick Wins — security discovery assessment, immediate risk identification, quick wins implementation, and executive risk snapshot. Phase 2 (Weeks 3-6): Foundation and Planning — strategic roadmap development, essential policy framework, control baseline establishment, and incident response playbook. Phase 3 (Weeks 7-12): Implementation and Measurement — priority implementation, staff training programs, metrics and KRI tracking, and quarterly strategy review. Common scenarios include healthcare practices needing HIPAA compliance attestation for insurance and patient trust, manufacturing companies facing customer security questionnaires and vendor risk assessments, and growing SaaS companies requiring SOC 2 compliance for enterprise customers. Every engagement works alongside your existing IT team and MSP. I provide governance and strategic direction while they handle day-to-day operations. The approach is vendor-agnostic, framework-driven, and focused on measurable business outcomes.
