Enterprise Security That Matches Enterprise Risk
Your attack surface grows with every office, acquisition, cloud migration, and remote worker. Your security program must keep pace. Here is how we ensure it does.
24/7 SOC Monitoring
Our Security Operations Center monitors your entire environment around the clock. Real threats are identified, triaged, and escalated in minutes, not hours. Your team sleeps; our analysts do not.
Board-Level Reporting
Our vCISO service translates complex security metrics into clear, executive-ready reports. Give your board the visibility they demand with KPIs, risk dashboards, and strategic recommendations.
Multi-Location Support
Branch offices, data centers, remote workers, cloud environments. We architect security programs that span your entire distributed infrastructure with consistent policies and centralized visibility.
Compliance at Scale
When you need CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST, and ISO 27001 compliance across multiple divisions simultaneously, our team builds integrated programs that satisfy every framework efficiently.
The Enterprise Security Challenge
Enterprise organizations face a paradox: the larger you grow, the more attack surface you expose, the more regulations you must satisfy, and the more stakeholders demand accountability. Yet finding qualified cybersecurity talent is harder than ever. The global cybersecurity workforce gap exceeds 3.4 million professionals. The average cost of a data breach in the United States now exceeds $9.4 million. And the average time to identify and contain a breach is 277 days.

Our 39+ security controls create a defense-in-depth architecture that ensures no single point of failure can compromise your organization. When your enterprise demands accountability, we deliver it with measurable outcomes and transparent reporting.
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Executive cybersecurity leadership for your organization. Our vCISO sits at your leadership table, advises your board, builds your security strategy, and ensures compliance across every framework your business requires.
Managed XDR & SOC
Our Managed Extended Detection and Response platform correlates signals across endpoints, networks, cloud, and email to detect sophisticated attacks that evade single-vector solutions.
Third-Party Risk Management
Your vendors, suppliers, and partners are an extension of your attack surface. We evaluate their security posture, manage the vendor risk lifecycle, and ensure that a compromise in your supply chain does not become your breach.
Digital Forensics & Incident Response
When incidents occur, our in-house forensics team responds immediately. Evidence preservation, root cause analysis, containment, regulatory notification management, and post-incident review, all handled by experienced professionals.
Enterprise Security Capabilities
Our enterprise practice delivers the full spectrum of cybersecurity services, from strategic advisory to hands-on operations. Every capability is designed for scale, complexity, and accountability.
Enterprise Penetration Testing
Our team conducts comprehensive manual penetration tests across your external perimeter, internal network, web applications, APIs, wireless infrastructure, and social engineering vectors. These are not automated scans. Our certified testers simulate real adversary techniques to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. You receive detailed findings with risk ratings, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and prioritized remediation guidance.
Security Architecture Review
We evaluate your entire security architecture: network segmentation, identity and access management, cloud configurations, data flow mapping, encryption implementation, and integration points. Our review identifies architectural weaknesses that create systemic risk and provides a roadmap for hardening your infrastructure at the design level, not just at the perimeter.
Compliance Program Management
Enterprise organizations often face multiple overlapping compliance obligations: CMMC and NIST 800-171 for defense work, HIPAA for healthcare data, SOC 2 for service delivery, PCI DSS for payment processing, and ISO 27001 for international operations. We build unified compliance programs that map controls across all applicable frameworks simultaneously, eliminating duplication and reducing audit fatigue.
Incident Response Retainer
Our enterprise IR retainer ensures you have a battle-tested response team on standby before an incident occurs. We develop your Incident Response Plan, conduct tabletop exercises with your leadership, and provide guaranteed response SLAs. When an incident happens, our forensics-trained team activates immediately to contain, investigate, remediate, and manage regulatory and stakeholder communications.
Enterprise Security Awareness
Large organizations need training programs that go beyond generic awareness videos. We deliver role-based training tailored to different departments: executives receive board-level threat briefings, finance teams learn about business email compromise, IT staff get technical security training, and frontline employees get practical phishing defense skills. Our platform tracks completion, measures click rates, and reports progress to leadership.
M&A Security Due Diligence
Before you acquire a company, you need to know what security liabilities you are inheriting. Our M&A due diligence service evaluates the target's security posture, identifies undisclosed breaches or compliance gaps, assesses the cost of remediation, and builds a post-acquisition integration plan that brings the acquired entity up to your security standards without disrupting operations.
How Enterprise Engagements Work
We follow a structured methodology that delivers measurable security improvements while integrating seamlessly with your existing teams, vendors, and governance structures.
Executive Discovery
We begin with executive stakeholder interviews, a comprehensive security posture assessment, and a review of your regulatory landscape, existing vendor relationships, and organizational risk appetite. This phase produces a baseline risk report and executive summary for your leadership team.
Strategic Architecture
Based on the discovery findings, we design a security architecture and governance framework tailored to your enterprise. This includes a multi-year security roadmap, compliance strategy, vendor management framework, incident response procedures, and board reporting structure.
Phased Deployment
We execute the roadmap in prioritized phases, deploying XDR monitoring, hardening systems, implementing controls, and standing up governance processes. Each phase has defined milestones, success criteria, and executive checkpoints to ensure alignment with business priorities.
Continuous Governance
Our vCISO provides ongoing executive oversight: quarterly board presentations, monthly risk reviews, annual strategy updates, continuous compliance monitoring, and adaptive threat intelligence. Your security program matures continuously, driven by data and guided by experience.
Enterprise Organizations We Serve
Our enterprise practice spans regulated industries where security failures carry the highest consequences. If the stakes are high, we are the team you want in your corner.
Defense & Government Contractors
CMMC certification is now a contract requirement for defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Our team guides large DIB organizations through the full compliance lifecycle, from NIST 800-171 gap analysis and SSP development to SPRS scoring and third-party assessment preparation.
Craig Petronella is a CMMC Certified Registered Practitioner with direct expertise in the certification process.
Healthcare Systems & Hospital Networks
Healthcare data breaches now average over $10 million per incident. Multi-facility healthcare systems face unique challenges: thousands of connected medical devices, EHR integration requirements, telehealth security, and HIPAA compliance across every location. Our vCISO and managed security services protect the entire care delivery ecosystem.
We perform annual HIPAA security risk assessments, implement required safeguards, and maintain continuous compliance across your organization.
Financial Institutions
Banks, credit unions, investment firms, and insurance companies face some of the most rigorous regulatory oversight in any industry. GLBA, SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules, FINRA requirements, state banking regulations, and FFIEC guidelines create a compliance environment that demands expert, dedicated security leadership.
Our enterprise security program satisfies these frameworks while protecting the financial data and transactions your customers depend on.
Multi-Location Enterprises
Organizations with branch offices, regional headquarters, and remote workforces face unique security challenges. Every location is a potential entry point. Every remote worker expands the perimeter. Inconsistent security policies across locations create gaps that attackers exploit.
We design and implement enterprise-wide security architectures that provide consistent protection and centralized visibility across every location.
Manufacturing & Critical Infrastructure
Manufacturing organizations face the dual challenge of securing both IT and operational technology (OT) environments. Industrial control systems, SCADA networks, and IoT devices create attack vectors that traditional IT security tools do not address. A breach can halt production lines and endanger worker safety.
Our team understands the convergence of IT and OT security and builds programs that protect both without disrupting industrial operations.
Organizations Undergoing M&A
Mergers and acquisitions create cybersecurity blind spots. You may be inheriting undisclosed breaches, unpatched systems, regulatory violations, or incompatible security architectures. Without proper due diligence, the acquisition that was supposed to grow your business can instead expose it to catastrophic risk.
Our M&A security practice evaluates targets, quantifies cyber risk, and builds integration plans that protect your enterprise throughout the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions enterprise leaders ask most about our security services.
Can you support multi-location and multi-cloud environments?
Yes. Our enterprise security practice is architected for distributed environments. We secure organizations with dozens of branch offices, multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), hybrid on-premise and cloud architectures, and fully remote workforces. Our monitoring, policies, and controls span every location and environment with centralized management and unified reporting to your leadership team.
How does your vCISO integrate with our existing leadership team?
Our vCISO functions as a member of your executive team. They participate in leadership meetings, present quarterly board reports, coordinate with your CIO/CTO, oversee your IT team's security execution, manage vendor relationships, and serve as the executive point of accountability for your cybersecurity program. The engagement model is flexible: some clients need weekly executive sessions, others need monthly strategic reviews. We adapt to your governance cadence.
What is your incident response SLA?
Enterprise IR retainer clients receive guaranteed response SLAs with initial acknowledgment and triage within minutes, not hours. Our in-house digital forensics team can be activated immediately to begin containment and investigation. We also conduct quarterly tabletop exercises with your team to ensure the Incident Response Plan works under pressure, so that when an incident occurs, everyone knows their role and response is swift.
How do you handle compliance across multiple frameworks simultaneously?
We build unified compliance programs that map your security controls across all applicable frameworks simultaneously. A single access control policy, for example, can satisfy requirements in NIST 800-171, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. By identifying these overlaps, we eliminate duplicated effort and ensure that one well-implemented control satisfies multiple regulatory obligations. This integrated approach dramatically reduces audit fatigue and compliance costs for enterprise organizations.
Can you provide board-ready reporting?
Board reporting is a core deliverable of our vCISO service. We prepare quarterly board presentations that translate cybersecurity risk into business language. Reports include overall risk posture, compliance status across all frameworks, key risk indicators and their trends, incident summaries, security investment ROI, peer benchmarking, and strategic recommendations. Your board gets the clarity they need to fulfill their fiduciary oversight responsibilities without drowning in technical jargon.
Do you support M&A cybersecurity due diligence?
Yes. Our M&A security due diligence service evaluates target organizations before, during, and after the transaction. Pre-acquisition, we assess the target's security posture, identify undisclosed breaches, evaluate compliance gaps, and quantify the cost of remediation. Post-acquisition, we develop an integration roadmap that brings the acquired entity into alignment with your security standards. This protects you from inheriting hidden liabilities and ensures a smooth security integration.
How do you differ from a traditional MSSP?
Traditional MSSPs provide monitoring and alerting. That is necessary but insufficient for enterprise security. Petronella combines MSSP/SOC monitoring with vCISO strategic leadership, compliance program management, penetration testing, digital forensics, training, and incident response. Most MSSPs send you alerts. We send you strategy, governance, compliance outcomes, and board reports alongside the operational monitoring. It is the difference between a security guard and a security program.
What certifications and credentials does your team hold?
Our team is led by Craig Petronella, a Licensed Digital Forensic Examiner, CMMC Certified Registered Practitioner (CRP), and MIT-certified cybersecurity professional with more than 30 years of hands-on experience. Our firm has been BBB A+ Accredited since 2003 and has served over 2,500 clients. We bring deep expertise across CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GLBA, GDPR, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
How long does an enterprise engagement typically take to deploy?
Executive discovery and baseline assessment typically complete within 30 days. Strategic architecture and roadmap delivery within 60 days. Phased deployment of security controls begins immediately after, with critical protections operational within the first month and full program deployment completing over 90 to 180 days depending on the size and complexity of your environment. Throughout, you see measurable progress at every milestone, with executive reporting from day one.
