// The Reality

Small businesses face big threats.

Cybercriminals target small businesses because they know the defenses are thinner. You deserve better protection without the enterprise price tag.

You're a Target

Small businesses account for nearly half of all cyberattacks. If you store customer data, process payments, or run your operations on technology, attackers are looking at you.

43% of attacks target SMBs

IT Shouldn't Be This Hard

Slow networks, outdated systems, security gaps, and no one to call when something breaks. You need a partner who speaks your language, not enterprise jargon.

Avg. breach cost: $4.45M

Enterprise Solutions Don't Fit

The Big Four won't return your call. Boutique firms charge $500/hr. Break-fix shops put out fires but never fix the root cause. You deserve a real partner.

SMB cybersecurity gap: $24B market

Cyber Insurance Is Getting Harder

Insurance carriers now require documented security programs, MFA, and endpoint protection before issuing or renewing your policy. We help you get there.

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

Security Foundations

We evaluate your current security controls, identify gaps, and build a practical roadmap. If you're in a regulated industry, we map to those requirements too.

Gap Analysis Risk Assessment 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

IT and 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.
