Independent security assessments · Front Range, Colorado

Boutique security assessments for small firms across the Front Range.

See what your wireless, your network, and your building actually expose — assessed start to finish by the person you hired, and reported in plain language you can act on.

I don't sell a security product. I tell you what's actually exposed.

Most small firms get sold either nothing or a sprawling engagement they don't need. I do the unglamorous middle: look hard at what a practice your size actually has reachable, separate what matters from what doesn't, and right-size the work to your real risk.

No fear-based pitch, no product menu, no theater. You'll get a clear picture and a short list of what to fix first — in plain terms you can hand to a partner, a board, or an underwriter.

Where I'd start

A wireless assessment, scoped for a small firm.

The wireless your staff and clients connect to every day is the easiest thing to overlook and one of the easiest ways in — sometimes from no closer than the parking lot. For most small practices, this is the assessment I'd recommend before anything bigger.

I look at every wireless network you're running, how they're separated, and what someone nearby could actually reach. You get a plain-language report of what's exposed and what to close first — not a 60-page scan dump.

It's also increasingly what your cyber insurer asks about. Underwriters now expect evidence that a firm has actually tested its environment, and a clean, documented assessment is something you can put in front of your broker at renewal.

Just as important: when a cyber claim gets denied, it's usually because a control the firm swore it had wasn't really in place. An assessment tells you what you actually have — not what you hoped you had.

The fuller picture

Three layers of exposure.

The wireless assessment is the front door. When it makes sense, I look at three layers together — and I'll tell you straight which ones you need and which you can skip.

What someone can see and touch from the open internet, and what they could reach once they're on your network. You get a plain-language map of your exposed surface and a short, ranked list of what to close first.

>I'll tell you straight if I'm your fit, or point you to who isn't.

A walk through your space for the things software can't see: badge and access-card hygiene, who can get where, and the occasional rogue camera or microphone that turns up where it shouldn't. This is a walkthrough, not a forensic bug-sweep — but it catches the obvious gaps most firms never think to check.

>I'll tell you straight if I'm your fit, or point you to who isn't.

A measured phishing exercise and awareness work, so your team learns to spot the message that's trying to walk right in. No gotcha theater — the point is a staff that's a little harder to fool every quarter.

Who you're hiring

Before security, I brewed sake.

Years of it — a craft that's all patience, precise process, and noticing the one variable that's quietly off before it ruins the batch. It turns out that's most of security, too.

I moved into this field because I wanted to understand how systems actually break, and I've been doing the work to back that up: hands-on security research and a certification path in progress.

When you hire Nightingale, you get me. The person who scopes the work is the person who runs it and the person who writes the report — in plain terms you can hand to a partner, a board, or an underwriter without a translator in between.
