For organizations outside a pool program, or members who need something beyond it.
Cyber Risk Assessment
Know exactly where you stand: controls scored, benchmarked against peers, and turned into a roadmap your leadership can act on.
GLBA Compliance
For community colleges: a complete, board-adopted Safeguards Rule program with the documentation and evidence a federal review expects.
AI Readiness & Policy
Adopt AI with confidence: governance, board policy and AP language, vendor contract guidance, and staff training.
ADA Title II Accessibility
Know where your public web content stands against the digital accessibility rule, with scoring and a practical remediation path.
Post-Incident Assessment
After an event: what happened, what it means, and what to change, explained to your leadership in plain language.
Training & Tabletops
From all-staff awareness sessions to executive briefings and full tabletop exercises, built around how your organization actually works.
vCISO Advisory
Standing senior counsel: quarterly reviews, vendor decisions, and a steady hand on your security roadmap.
Vendor Risk Assessment
Templates, submission support, and interpretation of vendor responses, so third-party decisions get made with eyes open.
How we show up.
Real moments from recent engagements, names withheld.
▸A college was sure immutable storage was on. We asked them to double-check. It was not, and now it is.
▸One professional-development day, one school theater, nearly 1,000 staff trained across three back-to-back sessions.
▸We flagged a critical Exchange vulnerability a district did not know it had. Patched within hours.
▸A district faced a vendor decision on backup. We sat in the vendor meeting and helped them ask the questions that mattered.
▸One district used our assessment as their roadmap and closed 41% of their gaps in a year, rescoring in the top 20% of districts we measure.
What clients say.
"Their methodology was comprehensive, adhering to established frameworks while being specifically tailored to the nuances of a K-12 educational environment. The assessment provided clear, actionable insights across governance, detection, incident response, and external threat exposure."
"Firestorm developed a custom dual-scenario exercise that integrated safety and cybersecurity threats to create a relevant, realistic, and challenging scenario. The session left us more aligned and better equipped to handle the complexities of a real-world incident."
"Their team brought clarity and confidence to our GLBA compliance efforts, delivering a thorough evaluation aligned with NIST 800-171 standards. Firestorm's professionalism, responsiveness, and deep expertise made them an invaluable partner."
What institutions ask us.
Do you replace our IT team or MSP? +
No. We are independent advisors: we assess, prioritize, train, and verify, working alongside the people who run your systems. We have no hardware or software to resell you afterward.
What does an engagement look like? +
It starts with a short conversation, followed by a fixed-scope proposal. Assessments run as structured working sessions with your team, and every engagement ends with a written report, clear priorities, and a leadership briefing.
We just had an incident. Can you help? +
Yes. We provide same-day guidance, connect you with breach counsel and forensics where appropriate, and run a post-incident assessment so your team comes out stronger.

Tell us where you are and what is on your mind. We will give you a straight answer on whether we can help, and what we would do first.
