SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Seattle businesses in software, cloud & tech startups, healthcare, life sciences & consumer health, aerospace suppliers & advanced manufacturing, maritime, logistics & port businesses and professional services & nonprofits 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. Washington’s breach notification statute, Wash. Rev. Code § 19.255.010, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Seattle organizations across Puget Sound, including Downtown Seattle, South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, Ballard, Bellevue and Redmond, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Seattle 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 Puget Sound's key industries.

Software, Cloud & Tech Startups

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, Life Sciences & Consumer Health

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.

Aerospace Suppliers & Advanced Manufacturing

Suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information inherit DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0. The first decision is scope: an enclave that keeps CUI in a small, well-controlled environment usually costs far less than bringing the whole company into assessment. We design that scope, then build the System Security Plan and POA&M.

Maritime, Logistics & Port Businesses

Carriers, warehouses and distributors depend on a web of portals, EDI connections and customer systems, so a single stolen login can stop shipments. We review identity and vendor access, segment warehouse and scanner networks, and make sure backups can bring dispatch and inventory systems back quickly.

Professional Services & Nonprofits

Professional and service firms rarely have a security person on staff, and the risk concentrates in email, file sharing and the owner’s laptop. We start with the controls that stop most incidents, MFA, mail security, endpoint protection and tested backups, and build from there at a pace the business can absorb.

Seattle FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Seattle, WA.

What does a cybersecurity consulting engagement look like for a Seattle 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 Seattle small and mid-sized businesses have a report within a few weeks of kickoff.

Which regulations should Seattle software, cloud & tech startups organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Puget Sound, that usually means customer security reviews and SOC 2 aligned controls, the HIPAA Security Rule, DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0, customer and partner security requirements and client contract and cyber insurance requirements, plus Washington’s data breach notification law (Wash. Rev. Code § 19.255.010). 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.

Can a consultant help with our cyber insurance renewal?

+
Yes. Underwriters ask about MFA, endpoint detection, offline backups, privileged access and training. We help you answer accurately and close the gaps that most affect coverage and premiums before the renewal date.

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 Seattle. 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.
