Every AI-powered growth stack we build — automations, cloud tools, connected marketing platforms — is also a new attack surface. So we added a cybersecurity practice to go with it: risk assessments, 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and compliance-aware hardening for growing teams. Delivered by our dedicated security engineering team. One point of contact, not a second vendor to manage.
“We didn’t add cybersecurity because it sounded good in a pitch deck. We added it because every automation, every connected tool, every AI workflow we build for a client is also a door someone else can try to open.”
— Diego Cipion, Founder

30 minutes. No prep. No commitment. Just a clear picture.Cybersecurity, here, means the same prevent-to-respond discipline any serious security firm runs: risk assessments, hardening, monitoring, and incident response. What's different is why we're the ones offering it — we're already inside your stack, building the automations, cloud connections and AI workflows that make your marketing work. We know exactly where the new doors are, because we're the ones installing them.
I've been doing marketing for 25 years. Somewhere in the last three, the job quietly changed: every client asked us to connect more tools, automate more workflows, plug AI into more of the business. Nobody asked who was locking those doors behind us. A client's Google Workspace admin panel, their automation platform's API keys, the AI tool with access to their customer list — that's the real perimeter now, and most agencies that set it up never check who else can walk through it. So we stopped leaving that part to someone else.
Most small businesses have someone who fixes the printer and resets passwords. That's IT support. It answers to problems after they happen. Cybersecurity is a different discipline — it exists to make sure fewer problems happen, and to have a plan ready for the ones that will anyway.
| Reactive IT | Proactive Cybersecurity | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Keep things running day to day | Reduce the odds of a breach — and shorten it if one happens |
| When it acts | After something breaks or gets locked out | Before, during and after — assess, harden, monitor, respond |
| Coverage | The device or account in front of you | Identity, cloud config, employee readiness, data, monitoring |
| Who's watching at 2am | Nobody, until you call | 24/7 monitoring with tuned alerts |
| Worst practice | Shared admin passwords, no MFA, "we'll deal with it later" | Still exists here too — the difference is someone is checking for it |
| Hidden bonus | — | Compliance-aware hardening doubles as insurer and customer due-diligence evidence |
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. If your only security plan is "call IT when something breaks," you already know how this goes.
Get My Free Security Assessment →A full posture review — identity, cloud configuration, employee readiness, data protection — ranked by real business risk, not by how scary it sounds. Leadership gets a decision document. Your technical team gets exact remediation steps.
Multi-factor authentication rolled out on email, cloud tools, admin portals, VPN, finance systems and executive accounts — plus least-privilege access design and offboarding controls, so a former employee's login stops working the day they leave, not three months later.
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Azure — the platforms every business already runs on, reviewed for identity, storage, sharing, audit logging and administrator settings against real security baselines, not left on whatever the default was on day one.
Real phishing simulations, not a slideshow nobody remembers. Employees learn to spot and report suspicious messages by actually encountering them — the same tactic that catches most breaches before they start.
SIEM integration and continuous monitoring across your key systems, with alert workflows built to surface what actually matters — not a flood of low-priority pings that trains your team to ignore everything.
Gap analysis and control mapping against NIST CSF and ISO 27001 — the frameworks insurers, enterprise customers and regulators actually ask about — with documentation that matches how your organization actually operates, not a generic template.
Most breaches don't come from one dramatic failure. They come from one of these five domains being left unattended while the other four looked fine.
MFA, password hygiene, least-privilege access, offboarding. The most common breach entry point, and the cheapest to close.
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Azure. Sharing settings, admin permissions, audit logs — reviewed against real baselines, not left on default.
Real phishing simulations and practical training. People are the perimeter more often than any firewall is.
Endpoint and storage encryption planning for sensitive business, customer and regulated data — the layer that limits damage even if something else fails.
24/7 visibility with tuned alerts, plus a containment and recovery plan written before you need it — not improvised at 2am during the incident.
Before we touch a single setting, we map what's actually happening today. Here is exactly how.
We map your systems, identity and data to find the vulnerabilities that matter most — not a generic checklist, a ranked list of what would actually hurt your business if it went wrong.
We close the priority gaps: MFA, access control, cloud configuration, encryption, and policies written to match how your team actually works — not a template nobody will follow.
Continuous monitoring and tuned alerts give you visibility across key systems, around the clock — so a suspicious login gets caught in minutes, not discovered weeks later in an audit.
If something happens, we contain it fast, recover securely, and harden against a repeat — with a plan that was written before the incident, not improvised during it.
This is what we map before touching a single setting. Want to see where you stand today?
Get My Free Security Assessment →This works hardest for businesses handling data that matters — patient records, client files, financial details, tenant information — but too small to justify an in-house security hire. That gap is exactly where breaches happen.
Patient records, insurance data, connected scheduling and billing tools. HIPAA-relevant exposure most practices have never had formally assessed.
Client files, financial records, privileged communications. A breach here isn't just data loss — it's a confidentiality and malpractice problem.
Tenant and policyholder PII, payment details, vendor access sprawl. High volume of sensitive records moving through tools nobody's centrally reviewed.
Customer payment data, connected fulfillment and inventory systems, third-party integrations — every connection is a potential entry point at growth-stage volume.
Not every engagement needs every service. The free assessment tells you which ones actually apply to you.
Comprehensive analysis of your current security posture to identify vulnerabilities.
Rapid containment and secure recovery from cyber incidents.
24/7 monitoring to detect and mitigate suspicious activity.
Encryption of sensitive data using BitLocker, VeraCrypt, or similar.
Deployment and training on secure password management tools.
Ongoing employee education with real phishing simulations.
Mandatory multi-factor authentication for critical accounts.
Role-based access configuration to protect sensitive data.
Setup and management of Security Information and Event Management systems.
Secure setup for platforms like Google Workspace, Dropbox, and Azure.
Creation of tailored cybersecurity and compliance policies.
Guidance on frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST CSF.

Cybersecurity pricing that's the same for a 12-person medical practice and a 90-person logistics company is pricing nobody thought about. We start every engagement with a free assessment, then propose a plan matched to your tools, team size and budget.
30-minute call. We map your systems, identity and data, flag the highest-risk gaps, and tell you exactly what we'd prioritize first. No commitment.
No public price list, on purpose — a fixed menu price for cybersecurity almost always means either overpaying for what you don't need or underpaying for coverage that leaves gaps. The assessment removes the guesswork on both sides.
It covers the full prevent-to-respond lifecycle: risk assessments, 24/7 monitoring, incident response and recovery, cloud security configuration, MFA rollout, access control, data encryption, anti-phishing training, password management, SIEM and threat detection, security policy development, and compliance advisory aligned to NIST CSF and ISO 27001.
A structured review of your systems, identity, cloud configuration and data handling to find the vulnerabilities most likely to cause real damage. We map exposure across identity, cloud, employee readiness, data protection and monitoring, then rank findings by actual business risk — with plain-language remediation steps for leadership and technical teams.
Because we're already inside your stack. Every automation, cloud connection and AI workflow we build to grow your business is also a potential entry point. Adding a dedicated cybersecurity practice means the systems we build for growth don't become the reason you get breached — and you get one point of contact instead of a second vendor to manage.
Growing businesses with 10 to 100 employees that handle sensitive data and need strong controls without enterprise complexity or enterprise pricing — medical and dental practices, legal and accounting firms, insurance agencies, property management companies, and logistics or ecommerce operations.
Assessments, policies and compliance advisory are built with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and ISO 27001 in mind — gap analysis, control mapping, and documentation matched to what customers, insurers or regulators actually ask about.
Yes — continuous monitoring across key systems with tuned alert workflows built to reduce noise and speed up response, so a suspicious login or unusual data movement gets caught and triaged around the clock.
Every engagement starts with a free assessment call to map real risk and priorities. From there we propose a plan matched to your tools, team size and budget — there's no one-size-fits-all package.
Incident response follows Assess, Harden, Monitor, Respond: rapid triage and containment come first, then evidence-aware recovery and post-incident hardening so the same gap can't be used twice. Response plans and escalation paths are prepared before a disruption happens whenever possible — that's what determines whether an incident costs hours or weeks.
Yes. It's delivered by the same security engineering team behind PikeShield (pikeshield.com), a dedicated cybersecurity firm. If you're already working with Cipion on marketing, creative or automations, this gives you a single point of contact instead of a second vendor relationship to manage.
Good — keep them. Most IT providers are built for uptime, not for security posture: they answer to problems after they happen. Cybersecurity is the layer on top that reduces how often problems happen and shortens them when they do. The two aren't competitors; a security assessment usually surfaces gaps your IT provider was never scoped to catch.
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses specifically, and the ones without a plan pay for it later — in downtime, in recovery costs, in the conversation with clients about why their data was exposed. The free assessment costs nothing and takes 30 minutes. You'll know exactly where you stand before spending a dollar.
The first call is 30 minutes. We map your systems, identity and data live, and tell you exactly what we'd fix first. Free. No prep. No commitment. Then you decide.
