Founder-led, partner-backed
Senior leadership up front. Independent partners when you need them.
Cyberneza is intentionally founder-led: you work directly with experienced cybersecurity leadership, and tap a trusted network of independent partners when a project calls for specialized work — senior accountability, without large-firm overhead.
Partner-backed
When a project needs specialized expertise, we coordinate with trusted independent partners when appropriate rather than carrying a large in-house bench. You get the right specialist at the right time, coordinated through one point of contact — without having to figure out every outside provider relationship on your own.
Cyberneza provides readiness, implementation, advisory, and coordination. We are not a CPA firm, a SOC 2 auditor, an ISO certification body, a C3PAO, a law firm, or a managed security provider — and we don’t perform audits, issue certifications, or run CMMC assessments. That independence is the point: our role is to get you ready, then coordinate the right independent party when it’s time for the audit or assessment itself.
Federal Cybersecurity Support
Subcontracting and C2C support for federal primes requiring senior cybersecurity delivery.
Cyberneza is SAM.gov registered and available to federal primes for cybersecurity architecture, NIST RMF and ATO support, FISMA, Zero Trust, and cloud security work. Remote with travel as required by the engagement.

Who we serve
Built for companies closing enterprise deals
You don’t need an enterprise-sized security team to meet enterprise-grade expectations.
Cyberneza works primarily with SaaS companies, service providers, and technology-driven businesses that need to demonstrate strong security to customers, partners, or regulators.
Whether you’re pursuing your first SOC 2 or looking to mature an existing program, we help you focus on what actually reduces risk and passes audits — without drowning you in jargon or busywork.
What you get
Outcomes, not deliverables
You’re not buying a binder of policies. You’re getting a compliance program that actually works — built around how your company operates today.
Audit-ready in weeks, not months
A structured, prioritized path from wherever you are now to passing your SOC 2 audit — without fire drills or last-minute surprises.
Your GRC platform configured correctly the first time
Proper integration setup, control mapping, and evidence collection in whatever tool fits you — Vanta, Drata, or another — not a generic install that leaves your team guessing what’s actually monitored.
Policies that match your real operations
Controls and policies written for how your team actually builds and deploys software — not copied from a template that doesn’t fit.
Minimal disruption to engineering
Your engineers keep shipping. We handle the compliance work, pull only what we need from your team, and keep meetings short and focused.
AI and modern risk coverage built in
AI tools, cloud services, and third-party data flows are addressed as part of your program — not bolted on later when an auditor asks about them.
A program you can maintain after we leave
Clear ownership, documented processes, and a compliance posture your team can sustain without ongoing dependency on outside consultants.
For audit firms
We make your audits easier. We never compete with them.
Cyberneza is an implementation partner — not an audit firm. We prepare companies for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits, then step aside so your team can do what it does best. The result: your clients show up organized, your auditors spend less time chasing evidence, and engagements close faster.
- Independence preserved: We handle implementation and readiness. You handle attestation. No overlap, no conflict.
- Clients arrive audit-ready: Policies, controls, evidence, and Vanta are configured and tested before your team walks in.
- Less back-and-forth: Fewer audit exceptions, fewer follow-up requests, fewer delays caused by unprepared clients.
- Consistent quality: 27+ years of hands-on security experience. CISSP, CRISC, CCSK, CCZT. Not junior staff learning on the job.
- Referral-friendly: Recommend us to clients who need implementation help. We send them back to you ready for audit.
Let’s discuss a referral partnership
If your firm audits SaaS companies, you’ve seen what happens when clients aren’t ready. Delays, missing evidence, unclear control ownership. We fix that before you start.
Schedule a Partner CallAI & modern compliance risks
Your team is already using AI. Your compliance program should reflect that.
AI tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and internal ML models are part of how modern SaaS teams work. But most compliance programs haven’t caught up. SOC 2 auditors are already asking how companies govern AI usage, protect training data, and prevent sensitive information from leaking into third-party models.
- Data leakage through AI prompts: Employees paste customer data, source code, or credentials into AI tools — often without realizing the compliance implications.
- No acceptable use policy for AI: Without clear rules, AI usage is ungoverned. Auditors notice.
- AI-generated code without review: Copilot-generated code can introduce vulnerabilities or license issues that bypass your existing SDLC controls.
- Third-party AI vendor risk: AI providers process your data under their terms. If you haven’t assessed them as vendors, that’s a gap in your risk register.
- Regulatory momentum: SOC 2 criteria already cover data handling and risk management. AI fits squarely within those requirements — and auditor scrutiny is increasing.
Cyberneza builds AI governance into your SOC 2 program from day one. We help you establish acceptable use policies, assess AI vendor risk, and implement controls that satisfy auditors without killing productivity. This isn’t about banning AI — it’s about using it responsibly and proving that to your customers.
From the field
What a typical engagement looks like
A Series A SaaS company came to us after their largest prospect required a SOC 2 Type II report to close a six-figure deal. They had no formal security policies, no compliance tooling, and an engineering team that couldn’t spare cycles on a months-long project. We scoped the engagement in one call, implemented Vanta within the first week, wrote policies mapped to their actual development workflow, and built a controls framework covering their cloud infrastructure, AI tool usage, and vendor ecosystem. Eight weeks later, they entered their audit with zero critical gaps. The deal closed the following month.
Beyond checklists
Security that supports your growth
Compliance isn’t the finish line. It’s a way to turn security into a competitive advantage — helping you close deals faster, build trust with customers, and reduce the chance of painful incidents.
Is Cyberneza a fit?
You’ll get the most value if:
Cyberneza is designed for teams that need enterprise-grade security outcomes without a large consulting engagement.
- You’re facing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or similar for the first time — and need to move fast.
- Enterprise customers, partners, or investors are starting to ask harder security questions.
- You want a clear roadmap you can actually execute with the team you have today.
Common outcomes for clients
- Clear, prioritized plan to get “audit-ready" without fire drills.
- Faster, more confident responses to customer security questionnaires.
- Better visibility into who owns what across security, compliance, and IT.
Tool-agnostic by design
GRC platform support — we configure the tool, you're never locked to it
Our expertise is compliance, not any single platform. We help you choose the right GRC tool for your stage and budget — or run a documented manual approach for tighter scopes — and configure it to match how your environment actually works. Tool-agnostic cybersecurity readiness, with implementation support for platforms such as Vanta and Drata.
Vanta
Deep Vanta setup, integrations, control mapping, and evidence workflows for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and beyond.
Drata
Drata configuration, integrations, and evidence automation — set up to fit your stack and target framework, not a generic install.
Another tool, or none at all
Already on a different platform, or not ready for one? We work in what you have — or a clean, documented manual approach — and recommend what fits you, not what pays us.

Common questions
What prospects usually ask first
Do you only work with companies that use Vanta?
No. We use Vanta where it fits because it automates the heavy lifting, but we also support teams using other tools or starting from scratch. Our expertise is compliance — not any single platform.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Security engagements involve sensitive details about your infrastructure and customers. We routinely work under mutual NDAs and can review client security addenda as part of the engagement.
How long does it take to get audit-ready?
Most teams reach SOC 2 audit-ready in 2–4 months and ISO 27001 in 3–5 months. During an initial conversation we'll talk through your current state so you have a realistic timeline.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is fixed-fee for a clearly defined scope, so you know up front what you're investing. During the scoping call we align on outcomes and timeline before presenting a proposal. Learn more about how we scope engagements →
