// The Reality

Small businesses are the #1 target.

Cybercriminals know regulated small businesses hold valuable data but lack enterprise-level defenses. The consequences are real — and growing.

You're a Prime Target

Threat actors increasingly target small regulated businesses, knowing they hold sensitive data with fewer protections. If you handle patient records, financial data, or privileged information — you're on the list.

43% of attacks target SMBs

Compliance is Mandatory

HIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC, bar association rules — the regulatory requirements are complex, evolving, and non-negotiable. Falling behind means fines and lost trust.

Avg. HIPAA fine: $1.5M

Enterprise Solutions Don't Fit

The Big Four won't return your call. Boutique firms charge $500/hr. MSPs know networks but not your compliance requirements. You deserve better.

SMB cybersecurity gap: $24B market

Insurance Demands More

Cyber insurance carriers now require documented security programs, risk assessments, and proof of compliance before issuing or renewing your policy.

The Outside-In Methodology™

We start where attackers start — your exposed perimeter — and work inward. This delivers immediate risk reduction where it matters most.

01

External Perimeter

We map what attackers see first — your internet-facing systems, public data, cloud services, and web applications. Vulnerabilities here are the front door.

Vulnerability Scanning Attack Surface Mapping Cloud Review
02

Email & Authentication

The #1 attack vector. We audit email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), remote access, VPNs, and every authentication point into your organization.

Email Security Phishing Defense MFA Review
03

Compliance Mapping

We map your current controls against your specific regulatory requirements — HIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC, bar rules — identifying gaps and building your roadmap.

Gap Analysis Risk Scoring Remediation Plan
04

Employee Awareness

Your team is your last line of defense — or your biggest vulnerability. We build security-aware culture through training, phishing simulations, and practical guidance.

Training Programs Phishing Simulations Policy Development
05

Continuous Improvement

Security isn't a one-time project. We monitor, reassess, and adapt your defenses as threats evolve and your business grows. True partnership, not a checkbox.

Years in Cybersecurity

Security expertise your business can actually rely on.

Purplehelix was founded on a simple observation: regulated small businesses face the same cyber threats and compliance requirements as large enterprises — but without the budget, staff, or access to real expertise.

With over a decade of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and risk management, I started Purplehelix to bridge that gap. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and what regulators actually look for during examinations.

This isn't about selling fear or overpriced tools. It's about practical, transparent security guidance that makes a real difference for your business.
