Serving Tampa Bay

Hillsborough, Pinellas, and the I-4 corridor

We work with companies across Tampa, Westshore, downtown Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Carrollwood, Town ‘n’ Country, plus the Pinellas side — St. Petersburg and Clearwater — and along the I-4 corridor toward Lakeland.

Westshore

B2B SaaS & financial-services tech

Westshore is dense with enterprise B2B SaaS — payments, insurance tech, and back-office automation. SOC 2 Type II is table stakes for the deals these teams are chasing.

MacDill-adjacent

Defense, intel, and modeling & sim

Tampa’s defense-tech vendors often need SOC 2 plus NIST 800-171 / CMMC alignment. Larry operated DoD’s first SaaS environment; we know what FedRAMP-adjacent control storytelling actually requires.

Downtown Tampa

Fintech & insurtech

Series A/B insurtech and fintech teams stacking SOC 2 with PCI or HITRUST. We’ll map shared controls so you’re not paying twice.

USF / research corridor

Healthtech & biomedical SaaS

HIPAA + SOC 2 readiness for clinical-data and biomedical SaaS connected to USF Health and the Tampa General research ecosystem.

Vanta or Drata

Picked for your stack, not our margin.

Cyberneza is an official Vanta MSP Partner and also implements Drata. For Tampa defense-adjacent teams, Drata’s control framework flexibility often wins; for fast-moving Westshore SaaS we usually start with Vanta.

Vanta fits Tampa teams that…

  • Need SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + HIPAA quickly on one platform
  • Want bundled licensing through the MSP partnership
  • Run heavy AWS or Google Workspace footprints
  • Are pre-Series B and need speed over deep customization

Drata fits Tampa teams that…

  • Have NIST 800-171, CMMC, or PCI front and center
  • Run heavier Microsoft 365 / Azure environments
  • Already bought Drata or have an internal preference
  • Want granular custom-control mapping for regulated workloads
