Practical AI governance, cybersecurity awareness, and risk advisory—designed for small and mid-sized organizations that need clarity, not complexity.
Fractional advisory • Right-sized controls • Built for SMB reality
This service is designed for organizations that are already using AI -formally or informally.
If your staff are using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, automation platforms, or cloud-based systems, your organization is already making AI and cyber risk decisions—whether you’ve defined the rules or not.
This is a good fit if you are:
- A small or mid-sized business
- A professional services firm or nonprofit
- Preparing for cyber insurance, privacy, or vendor reviews
- Operating without a full-time security or governance role
Not a fit if you:
- Are looking for hourly admin or VA support
- Want experimental AI with no guardrails
Most SMB risk doesn’t come from hackers. It comes from unclear decisions.
AI adoption, automation, and digital tools are moving faster than policies and awareness can keep up. For small organizations, this creates quiet exposure—around data handling, staff behavior, vendor tools, and insurance eligibility.
Common gaps we see:
- Informal AI use by staff with no boundaries
- No clarity on what data can or cannot be shared
- Inconsistent cybersecurity habits across the team
- No documented response if something goes wrong
- Increasing pressure from insurers and clients to “show controls”
You don’t need enterprise compliance. You need clear rules people will actually follow.

- Not generic cybersecurity training
- Not fear-based consulting
what this is:
- Clear decision boundaries for AI and digital tools
- Governance you can explain to staff, insurers, and boards
- Practical controls that scale with your organization
The focus is decision clarity – not hype, fear, or compliance theatre.

Frequently asked questions
Do we really need this if we’re small?
Most incidents and insurance issues stem from everyday behavior—not targeted attacks.
Will this slow my team down?
No. Clear rules reduce hesitation, rework, and mistakes.
Is this the same as cybersecurity training?
No. This focuses on decision-making and guardrails, not awareness theatre
Do you implement controls too?
Yes, if you choose. Governance comes first.
