Cybersecurity, AI & IT consulting

Services scoped around the decision you need to make.

Enable AI in the workflows that matter, assess current risk, prepare for incidents, build the roadmap, train the team, satisfy auditors, strengthen architecture, and keep the day-to-day IT running underneath it all.

01

Security Assessment

You cannot protect what you do not understand. Assessment work gives you a clear view of exposure, priority, and remediation path.

What You Get

  • Vulnerability scanning and manual analysis across systems, applications, and configurations.
  • Penetration testing to validate which weaknesses are practically exploitable.
  • Risk prioritization tied to likelihood, business impact, and remediation effort.
  • Compliance baseline mapping against frameworks such as NIST, CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

Process

  1. Define the scope, business objectives, and assessment constraints.
  2. Discover assets, review configurations, and test high-risk areas.
  3. Analyze findings and separate material risk from noise.
  4. Deliver a remediation plan with owners, priority, and verification steps.

02

Incident Response

When a security event happens, your team needs calm triage, clear ownership, and a response plan that has already been tested.

What You Get

  • Incident response planning, runbooks, and tabletop exercises.
  • Containment guidance to limit spread and preserve critical evidence.
  • Forensic review to establish scope, timeline, root cause, and recovery requirements.
  • Post-incident reporting for leadership, legal, insurance, and compliance stakeholders.

Response Approach

  1. Confirm the incident and define immediate business impact.
  2. Contain affected systems and protect evidence.
  3. Investigate attacker activity, access paths, and persistence.
  4. Eradicate the threat, recover systems, and capture lessons learned.

Build response muscle before the incident calendar chooses the date.

03

Security Strategy & Roadmap

Good security is not measured by how many tools you own. It is measured by whether your controls match your risks and your team can operate them.

What You Get

  • Current-state review of policies, tooling, architecture, governance, and operating model.
  • Security roadmap aligned with business objectives, budget, and risk tolerance.
  • Policy and standards development that is practical enough to follow.
  • Technology recommendations focused on fit, overlap, and implementation cost.

Strategy Development

  1. Understand the business model, operating constraints, and security drivers.
  2. Identify gaps between current controls and target outcomes.
  3. Prioritize initiatives by risk reduction, complexity, and sequencing.
  4. Produce a phased roadmap with measurable milestones.

Turn security spending into a deliberate program.

04

Security Awareness & Employee Training

Training works when people can recognize real decisions in their daily work, not when they memorize abstract warnings.

What You Get

  • Role-specific training for executives, finance, IT, operations, and general staff.
  • Phishing simulations and practical social engineering scenarios.
  • Guidance on password habits, MFA, data handling, remote work, and reporting.
  • Metrics and reinforcement plans to keep awareness from becoming a one-time event.

Training Delivery

  1. Assess common workflows, current awareness level, and likely attack paths.
  2. Design concise training matched to role and risk.
  3. Deliver sessions and simulations with clear feedback.
  4. Measure improvement and tune follow-up content.

Give your team a realistic way to spot and report security issues.

05

Compliance & Governance

Compliance is easier to sustain when evidence, controls, and ownership are organized around the way the business actually runs.

What You Get

  • Compliance assessment against applicable frameworks and customer requirements.
  • Gap analysis with remediation tasks, evidence needs, and control owners.
  • Policy, procedure, and documentation support.
  • Audit preparation for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, and related obligations.

Governance Approach

  1. Define regulatory scope and stakeholder expectations.
  2. Evaluate existing controls and evidence quality.
  3. Prioritize gaps by audit impact and security value.
  4. Build a maintainable cadence for reviews, evidence, and control ownership.

Prepare for compliance reviews with clearer evidence and fewer surprises.

06

Security Architecture Review

Architecture review identifies structural weaknesses before they become incident paths, audit blockers, or operational drag.

What You Get

  • Review of networks, cloud platforms, applications, identity, endpoints, and data flows.
  • Access control and segmentation analysis.
  • Security tooling assessment for coverage, overlap, and operational fit.
  • Architecture recommendations prioritized by risk and implementation effort.

Review Process

  1. Map systems, dependencies, trust boundaries, and sensitive data paths.
  2. Model likely attack paths and control failures.
  3. Compare architecture against relevant standards and operating requirements.
  4. Deliver a roadmap for reducing exposure and improving resilience.

Strengthen the systems your business depends on.

IT Advisory & Support

The IT operations behind the security program.

Most small teams don't have separate budgets for a security vendor and an IT vendor. C3Cyber also covers the hands-on IT work that keeps the security program running day to day.

07

Managed IT & Help Desk Support

Most small teams do not need a full IT department. They need someone who answers the phone, fixes the problem, and keeps devices and accounts running securely by default.

What You Get

  • Ongoing help desk support for user issues, device setup, and account access.
  • Endpoint management: onboarding/offboarding, patching, backups, and device hardening.
  • Vendor and software coordination so tools stay licensed, updated, and supported.
  • Documentation of your environment so support does not depend on institutional memory.

Support Model

  1. Baseline the current environment: devices, accounts, vendors, and pain points.
  2. Stand up a support channel and response expectations that fit your team's size.
  3. Handle day-to-day requests while closing obvious security and reliability gaps.
  4. Review recurring issues quarterly and adjust the support plan.

Systems Administration Advisory

Infrastructure decisions are hard to unwind later. This engagement puts experienced sysadmin judgment behind your servers, identity systems, and core infrastructure before small missteps become expensive ones.

What You Get

  • Server, identity (Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta), and endpoint environment review.
  • Backup, patching, and access hygiene practices that hold up under audit or incident.
  • Hands-on support for migrations, upgrades, and infrastructure changes.
  • On-call advisory access for infrastructure decisions before they are made, not after.

Advisory Approach

  1. Review current infrastructure, identity structure, and administrative access.
  2. Identify single points of failure, stale accounts, and unpatched risk.
  3. Advise on or directly support changes, migrations, and hardening work.
  4. Maintain a lightweight cadence so infrastructure judgment stays current.

Vulnerability Management

A scan report is not a program. This service turns vulnerability data into a recurring cycle of prioritization, ownership, and verified remediation.

What You Get

  • Recurring vulnerability scanning across internal, external, and cloud assets.
  • Risk-based prioritization instead of raw CVSS-score triage.
  • Remediation tracking with owners, deadlines, and re-verification.
  • Trend reporting that shows whether exposure is actually going down.

Management Cycle

  1. Establish scan scope, cadence, and asset inventory.
  2. Score and prioritize findings by exploitability and business impact.
  3. Assign remediation owners and track progress to closure.
  4. Re-test fixes and report trend data to leadership.

Stop re-discovering the same vulnerabilities every quarter.

IT Strategy & vCISO Advisory

Growing companies often need executive-level security and IT leadership before they need — or can afford — a full-time CISO or IT director. This engagement provides that leadership on a fractional basis.

What You Get

  • Ongoing virtual CISO leadership: program oversight, risk reporting, and board/investor communication.
  • IT and security budget planning tied to actual risk and growth plans.
  • Vendor and tooling strategy, including contract and renewal review.
  • A single accountable advisor across security, IT operations, and compliance decisions.

Engagement Model

  1. Establish reporting cadence, priorities, and stakeholder expectations.
  2. Set or refine the security and IT roadmap against budget and growth plans.
  3. Provide ongoing advisory coverage for decisions, vendors, and incidents.
  4. Report progress and risk posture on a regular executive cadence.
