Part of our nationwide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
San Francisco businesses in finance, investment & fintech, software, ai & tech companies, biotech & life sciences and law firms, agencies & professional services face the same pattern we see across the country: most incidents start with a stolen password or a phished Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace session, and the damage depends on settings nobody reviewed. Our cybersecurity consulting starts with those settings, then works outward to endpoints, backups, vendors and the regulations your industry carries. California’s breach notification statute, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so San Francisco organizations across San Francisco Bay Area, including Financial District, SoMa, Mission Bay, Mission District, Union Square and South San Francisco, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for San Francisco businesses
Security Risk Assessment
A structured review of identity, email, endpoints, backups and vendors against NIST CSF 2.0 or the CIS Controls, with findings ranked by business impact.
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Hardening
MFA methods, conditional access, legacy authentication, admin roles, app consent, external sharing and mail forwarding, reviewed and fixed.
Compliance Roadmaps
HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI DSS 4.0, CMMC 2.0 and state privacy law gaps mapped to a realistic order of work.
Cyber Insurance Readiness
Truthful answers to underwriting questions on MFA, EDR, backups and privileged access, and the gaps closed before renewal.
Incident Response Planning
A written plan naming who decides and who calls the insurer and bank, rehearsed in a tabletop exercise.
Virtual CISO Guidance
Quarterly risk reviews, policy ownership, vendor security reviews and owner reporting without a full-time executive.
Industries We Serve
Specialized expertise for San Francisco Bay Area's key industries.
Finance, Investment & Fintech
Lenders, advisors, accountants and insurers fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule or GLBA, which require a qualified individual, a written information security program, MFA, encryption and annual reporting to the board or owner. We build that program in a form an examiner or auditor recognizes.
Software, AI & Tech Companies
Software and technology companies usually come to us with a deadline: a customer security review or a first SOC 2 report. We build SOC 2 aligned controls across Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, cloud accounts and laptops, and assemble the evidence trail before an auditor or customer asks for it.
Biotech & Life Sciences
The HIPAA Security Rule expects a documented risk analysis, and it is the document most practices cannot produce when asked. We run that analysis, then fix what it finds: MFA on email and the EHR portal, encrypted laptops, tested backups, and business associate agreements with the vendors who actually touch patient data.
Law Firms, Agencies & Professional Services
Law firms hold exactly what attackers sell: deal documents, litigation files and client trust account details. Professional conduct rules expect reasonable safeguards for client confidences, and clients increasingly send security questionnaires. We harden the document system, email and remote access, and help you answer those questionnaires honestly.
