Practitioner-level guidance, without practitioner-level headcount

Government contracts often come with a security bar you have to clear before you can even bid — a documented path to FedRAMP authorization, evidence the Risk Management Framework is properly implemented, or an existing ATO that has to stay in good standing. Missing that bar doesn't just delay a contract; it can cost you the opportunity entirely.

Our team includes practitioners with hands-on ISSO and RMF experience, not consultants learning federal compliance on your contract. We start with a FedRAMP readiness assessment mapped to your specific requirements, build out your System Security Plan, and manage your POA&M through to authorization. For contractors already authorized, our continuous monitoring keeps that ATO current instead of lapsing from neglect.

Healthcare organizations carry some of the highest-stakes data there is, and HIPAA compliance isn't a box you check once. Protected health information moves through more systems than most compliance teams can fully map on their own — EHR platforms, billing systems, patient portals, and increasingly, telehealth infrastructure.

We start every healthcare engagement with a HIPAA security risk assessment that maps exactly where PHI lives and how it moves through your environment, then build the policies and technical safeguards required to close the gaps that carry real breach risk — not just checklist items. Where clinical systems touch the cloud, our cloud security practice reviews access controls and configuration specifically against HIPAA's technical safeguards, so security works around your clinical workflows instead of against them.

Schools, districts, and universities manage sensitive student records, research data, and increasingly complex IT environments — often with a fraction of the security budget and staffing available to comparable private-sector organizations, and an audience that spans faculty, administrative staff, researchers, and students.

We run vulnerability assessments scoped to student information systems and research infrastructure, prioritized by real exposure rather than a generic severity score, and build a security program that fits realistic education-sector budgets. Our security awareness training is built for that mixed audience specifically — not a corporate slide deck repackaged for a classroom, but sessions that account for the very different risk literacy of faculty, IT staff, and students.

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 — not as an afterthought market, but as a core part of who we serve.

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. Many of our nonprofit clients start with a single risk assessment and grow into an ongoing fractional vCISO relationship as their organization and funding allow.

Most small and mid-sized businesses face the same cyber risk as large enterprises, without anything close to the same resources to manage it. That gap is exactly what our vCISO service is built to close — executive-level security leadership, on a fractional 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 organizations operate under some of the most demanding regulatory scrutiny of any industry, and examiners expect to see security controls actively monitored — not assessed once a year and set aside until the next audit.

We support risk and compliance programs with practical, audit-ready documentation mapped to relevant regulatory frameworks, third-party risk reviews, and ongoing vulnerability management to keep pace with continuous examination. 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.

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. Increasingly, clients ask for proof of a real security program before signing an engagement.

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 documentation you can actually show a client or partner firm when asked — genuinely defensible, not just a page on your website.

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 before that pressure hits.

Our engagements cover foundational GRC and cloud security configuration, scoped to a startup's actual size and stage — not an enterprise framework that doesn't fit yet, but not so light that it falls apart under investor or customer scrutiny. 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.

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.
