Executive security leadership, without the internal department.
Lausey Technology is a cybersecurity advisory and risk management firm — not a general IT shop. We give nonprofits, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, government contractors, and growing businesses board-level security guidance on a fractional basis.
The seat at the table, without the six-figure salary.
Get executive-level cybersecurity leadership on a fractional basis — strategy, board reporting, and risk oversight from a practitioner who's done this before, not a generalist learning on your dime.
Vulnerabilities found, prioritized, and actually tracked to resolution.
Enterprise-grade vulnerability assessments and remediation tracking — built for organizations that need more than a scan and a PDF once a year.
Every engagement is led by practitioners with real hands-on experience — not account managers reading from a template. Fixed scope, fixed pricing, and a plan built around your actual risk.
Eight service lines, one standard of practice
Every line is led by practitioners with real hands-on experience in the area — not a generalist covering ground they read about last week.
A clear path from risk to resolution
No jargon, no surprise invoices — just a straightforward process you can follow at your own pace.
Security expertise, without the enterprise overhead
We built Lausey specifically for organizations that need real protection but don't have a Fortune 500 budget.
Built for organizations that need the expertise, not the overhead
Most of our clients share the same problem: real security risk, and no realistic path to hiring a full internal security department to manage it. We work across a range of industries, but the pattern is consistent — organizations that need practitioner-level guidance without practitioner-level headcount.
Government contractors
Government contracts come with security requirements that can stall a deal before it starts. We work with contractors pursuing or maintaining FedRAMP authorization, building out System Security Plans, managing POA&Ms, and implementing the Risk Management Framework end to end.
Our team includes practitioners with hands-on ISSO and RMF experience — not consultants learning federal compliance on your contract. We help you understand what's actually required, build the documentation auditors expect to see, and keep continuous monitoring running so authorization doesn't lapse.
Whether you're pursuing your first ATO or maintaining an existing one, we scope engagements around your contract timeline, not a generic template.
Healthcare providers
Healthcare organizations carry some of the highest-stakes data there is, and HIPAA compliance isn't optional. We help providers build the risk assessments, policies, and technical safeguards HIPAA requires, without turning your clinical staff into part-time compliance officers.
Our engagements typically start with a HIPAA security risk assessment, mapping where PHI lives and how it moves through your systems. From there, we prioritize the gaps that carry real breach risk, not just checklist items, and build a remediation plan your team can actually execute alongside patient care responsibilities.
We understand the operational reality of healthcare — security has to work around clinical workflows, not against them.
Educational institutions
Schools, districts, and universities manage sensitive student records, research data, and increasingly complex IT environments — often with a fraction of the security budget available to comparable private-sector organizations.
We help educational institutions assess their actual exposure, from student information systems to research infrastructure, and build a security program that fits realistic education-sector budgets and staffing. That includes policy development, vulnerability assessments, and security awareness training tailored to a mixed audience of faculty, staff, and students.
Every recommendation accounts for the reality that most educational institutions can't hire a dedicated security team — the plan has to work with the staff you already have.
Nonprofits
Nonprofits handle donor data, beneficiary records, and often sensitive program information, while operating on lean budgets with limited technical staff. We built Lausey specifically with organizations like this in mind.
Engagements are scoped to what a nonprofit can realistically fund and maintain — fixed-price assessments, plain-language reporting your board can actually understand, and remediation plans that respect your timeline and resources. We're not selling you an enterprise security program you can't sustain.
Many of our nonprofit clients start with a single risk assessment and grow into ongoing monitoring as their organization and funding allow.
Small & medium-sized businesses
Most small and mid-sized businesses face the same cyber risk as large enterprises, without anything close to the same resources to manage it. We give growing businesses access to senior-level security expertise on a fractional or project basis, so you're not choosing between going without protection and hiring a full internal team.
Whether you need a one-time vulnerability assessment, ongoing virtual CISO support, or help meeting a client's security requirements to close a deal, we scope the engagement to your actual risk and budget — not a generic package.
As your business grows, the engagement grows with you, from a single assessment to an ongoing advisory relationship.
Financial services
Financial services organizations operate under some of the most demanding regulatory scrutiny of any industry. We support risk and compliance programs with practical, audit-ready documentation and vulnerability management that holds up under examination.
Our work typically includes risk assessments mapped to relevant regulatory frameworks, third-party risk reviews, and ongoing vulnerability management to keep pace with an environment that regulators expect to see actively monitored, not assessed once a year.
We work alongside your existing compliance and IT teams rather than replacing them, filling the specialized security expertise gap most mid-sized financial firms don't have in-house.
Professional services firms
Law firms, accounting practices, consultancies, and other professional services firms hold sensitive client information that makes them an attractive target — and a breach can damage client trust as much as it damages operations.
We help professional services firms assess where client data lives, close the access control and data handling gaps that create the most risk, and build the kind of security posture clients increasingly ask about before signing an engagement.
Many of our professional services clients come to us specifically because a client or partner firm requested proof of a security program — we help you build one that's genuinely defensible, not just a page on your website.
Technology startups
Security due diligence increasingly shows up in funding rounds and enterprise sales cycles, and retrofitting a security program under deadline pressure is far harder than building it in from the start.
We help early and growth-stage startups establish foundational security practices — policies, cloud security configuration, and a defensible risk posture — scoped to a startup's actual size and stage, not an enterprise framework that doesn't fit yet.
The goal is to get ahead of the security questions that come up in due diligence, so they're a quick confirmation instead of a scramble.
Faith-based organizations
Churches, ministries, and other faith-based organizations manage member records, donation data, and often counseling or pastoral care information that deserves real protection — usually with a volunteer-heavy staff and limited technical resources.
We help faith-based organizations understand their actual risk, put practical safeguards in place around member and financial data, and build policies that a largely volunteer team can realistically follow and maintain.
Engagements are scoped modestly and explained in plain language, recognizing that most faith-based organizations are working with limited budgets and no dedicated IT staff.
