Smoky Mountains Cybersecurity
Know where you stand
and what to fix first.
For small businesses that need direction, not noise.
Most small businesses discover their security gaps at the worst possible moment: an insurance renewal, an audit, or an incident that forces the question.
We offer two ways to help you get ahead of that: a focused one-time assessment to show exactly where you stand, and ongoing advisory if you need someone in your corner month-to-month.

Two Ways to Engage
Choose your starting point: one-time clarity, or ongoing eyes on the road ahead.
One-Time • Fixed Scope
Security Foundations Assessment
Know where you stand before someone else forces the question.
We examine your controls, practices, and dependencies against the proven framework of the CIS Controls. The result is an executive-level view of your most significant exposures, translated into findings your leadership can act on and your IT team can execute.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Leadership & IT discovery sessions
- Review of core security controls
- Staff security questionnaire
- Executive summary of key findings
- Technical findings for IT
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
Right for businesses where security has been delegated but never truly owned, or when insurers, customers, or compliance requirements demand a credible answer.
One-Time • Fixed Scope
Virtual CISO Retainer
For when you need someone accountable for security, not just informed about it.
A working relationship with an advisor who knows your environment, keeps remediation moving, and stays aligned with both your leadership and IT teams, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Monthly strategy and review meetings
- Remediation tracking and follow-up
- Policy and governance support
- Compliance and cyber insurance readiness
- Vendor and software risk review
- Ongoing security program oversight
Right for businesses that completed an assessment and want continued progress, or that need structured security leadership to work with their IT team or provider.
How Engagements Begin
Most clients start with the assessment. It establishes a shared understanding of the current environment, the risks that matter, the gaps that do not, and the right order of operations.
From there, some organizations move into ongoing vCISO support to maintain momentum and build a long-term cybersecurity program.
Either way, the goal is continued progress. Not a report that sits on a shelf.
Let’s Find the Right Fit
Some businesses need a one-time baseline. Others need ongoing security leadership.
A short conversation is usually enough to figure out which one makes sense.
