Cybersecurity for Main Street

Enterprise-level cybersecurity services for small and mid-sized businesses across Greater Boston.

Cybersecurity Shouldn't Feel Like Guesswork

You know security is important, but between the scare tactics, the tech speak, and the endless vendor pitches, it's hard to know where you actually stand.
You deserve clarity, not confusion. 

From Overwhelmed to In Control

You're hearing about new threats every week, but no one's telling you what actually applies to your business. We cut through the noise and focus on what matters for you.

From Fear-Based Pitches to Honest Guidance

Too many security vendors rely on fear in order to sell. We'd rather have a real conversation about your risks and give you simple advice you can actually act on.

From "Probably Fine" to Properly Protected

You've got antivirus and a firewall, but is that enough? We'll give you a clear picture of where you stand and help you close the gaps, so there’s no guesswork required.

From Compliance Anxiety to Confidence

If you handle sensitive data, you've got obligations to meet. We'll help you understand what's required and make sure you're covered, without overcomplicating it.

Security Expertise You Can Trust

We Literally Wrote the Book 
Ann Westerheim's "Cybersecurity for Main Street" has helped small businesses understand and tackle security. That same expertise is what you get when you work with us. 
Your Business First, Tech Second 
We start with a Business Impact Analysis to understand what's actually at stake for you before we recommend anything. That way, your protection is focused where it matters most. 
A Framework, Not a Guessing Game 
We base our approach on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the same standard used by government agencies. That means your security is built on proven principles instead of whatever product is easiest to sell.  
Leadership That Understands the Risks 
We offer executive cyber coaching and board briefings to help your leadership team make informed decisions without wading through technical jargon. 
Plain English 
You shouldn't need a technical degree to understand your own security. We explain risks, options, and recommendations in terms that make sense to you. 
Layered Protection 
There's no single product that solves cybersecurity. We build layered defenses tailored to your business and your budget.
