SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

San Jose businesses in venture-backed startups & saas, healthcare & medical practices, professional services & real estate and advanced manufacturing & clean tech 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 Jose organizations across Silicon Valley, including Downtown San Jose, North San Jose, Willow Glen, Santana Row, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for San Jose 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 Silicon Valley's key industries.

Venture-Backed Startups & SaaS

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.

Healthcare & Medical Practices

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.

Professional Services & Real Estate

Contractors and real estate firms move large payments by email, which makes them a top target for wire fraud. We put payment verification procedures, MFA and mail security in place, and harden the project management and document-sharing tools that subcontractors log into.

Advanced Manufacturing & Clean Tech

Plants, refineries and energy operators run control systems that were never meant to touch the internet, and the risk usually lives at the boundary between office IT and OT. We map that boundary, segment it, lock down vendor remote access, and align controls to IEC 62443 or NIST guidance where your customers or insurers expect it.

San Jose FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in San Jose, CA.

What does a cybersecurity consulting engagement look like for a San Jose business?

+
It starts with a scoping call about what you need to protect and what deadline is driving the work, such as an insurance renewal, an audit or a customer questionnaire. We then review your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, endpoints, backups, network and key vendors with read-only access, talk with the people who run the business, and deliver a written report that ranks findings by likelihood and impact. Most San Jose small and mid-sized businesses have a report within a few weeks of kickoff.

Which regulations should San Jose venture-backed startups & saas organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Silicon Valley, that usually means customer security reviews and SOC 2 aligned controls, the HIPAA Security Rule, contract and lender security requirements and OT security expectations such as IEC 62443, plus California’s data breach notification law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82). Cyber insurance applications add their own control requirements on top. We map which of these actually apply to you and what each expects, rather than handing you a generic checklist.

Does California’s privacy law apply to my business?

+
Possibly. California has a comprehensive consumer privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA. Whether it applies depends on its thresholds and exemptions, which turn on how much personal data you process and what kind. A consulting engagement maps which of your systems hold that data and what the law would expect of them, so your counsel can make the applicability call on accurate facts.

Can you review our Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace security remotely?

+
Yes, and it is often the most valuable part of the engagement. We check MFA enforcement and methods, admin roles, conditional access, legacy authentication, app consent, external sharing, mail forwarding and audit log retention, all with read-only access to start.

We already have an IT provider in San Jose. Can you still help?

+
Yes. An independent review before a renewal, an audit or a large customer’s security questionnaire is one of the most common reasons we are hired. We share findings with your provider and stay focused on the gaps.

Do you implement the recommendations or just write them?

+
Either. Some clients hand the roadmap to their internal team or current provider; others have us do the work in priority order. The report is written so that anyone competent could pick it up.
