Security Consulting

Not every security engagement requires a penetration test. Security consulting provides guidance on building, improving, or validating your overall security program, from architecture decisions to policy development to vendor evaluation. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, working with businesses statewide and remotely across the U.S.

What This Covers

Security consulting engagements are scoped to your specific needs and may include security architecture review, network segmentation planning, security policy and procedure development, technology stack evaluation, incident response plan development, security awareness program guidance, and remediation validation after a penetration test.

How It Works

Consulting engagements begin with a discovery call to understand your current state, goals, and constraints. From there, a tailored scope is defined covering the specific areas where you need guidance. Work is delivered through a combination of documentation review, architecture analysis, and advisory sessions. All consulting is performed remotely.

What You Receive

Deliverables vary by engagement but typically include written recommendations, architecture diagrams, policy templates, or implementation guidance documents. The focus is on actionable output your team can implement, not shelf-ware reports that collect dust.

Who Needs This

Small and mid-sized businesses building a security program for the first time, organizations preparing for compliance audits, businesses that have completed a penetration test and need help prioritizing and implementing remediations, or any organization that needs experienced security guidance without hiring a full-time security engineer. For Louisiana businesses weighing consulting against hands-on testing, penetration testing across Louisiana covers what an assessment engagement looks like.

How an engagement works

01

Scope

We define what's in bounds, your goals, and any operational constraints. For OT and production systems, safety and uptime come first.

02

Test

Hands-on testing the way a real attacker works. Findings are exploited and verified manually, proof of impact, not just a scanner flag.

03

Report

A prioritized report with clear remediation steps and proof of impact, written to be acted on, not a 200-page scanner dump.

04

Retest

Once your team has remediated, I re-verify the fixes so you can prove the issues are actually closed.

Frequently asked

How long does this take?
Most small-business engagements run one to two weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on scope and the number of targets. You'll get a clear timeline before any testing starts.
Will testing disrupt my operations?
Safety and uptime come first, especially for OT and production systems. We agree on rules of engagement up front, schedule intrusive testing around your operations, and I check in before doing anything risky.
Is the testing automated or manual?
A human drives every engagement and validates each finding by hand. Modern tooling (including AI) helps widen coverage and speed up the tedious parts, but you're paying for verified, exploitable findings, not raw scanner or model output.
Do you offer a retest after we remediate?
Yes. Once your team has fixed the findings, I re-verify the affected issues so you can demonstrate to customers, auditors, or leadership that they're actually closed.
