Our Services
CyForward provides prevention-first cybersecurity leadership and infrastructure stewardship for small and midsize organizations. We focus on stability, resilience, and clear ownership of cyber and operational risk, so leadership teams are not left reacting to problems or guessing who is responsible.
Our work is designed for organizations that want dependable systems, calm leadership when issues arise, and a clear path through today’s cybersecurity and insurance landscape.
Cybersecurity & vCISO Services
We provide executive-level cybersecurity leadership for organizations that need clear direction, accountability, and disciplined risk management, without hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Whether you need ongoing leadership or targeted guidance, we help establish and maintain a security program that leadership can trust.
➤ Virtual CISO leadership and security governance
➤ Cybersecurity program design and oversight
➤ Risk assessments and maturity reviews
➤ Incident response and recovery planning
➤ Executive and board-level advisory on cyber risk and emerging technologies
Infrastructure & Systems Stewardship
We steward the core systems organizations depend on most, with a focus on availability, recoverability, and secure operation. This is not helpdesk support or ticket-driven IT. It is ownership of stability.
We operate on standardized, well-understood infrastructure to ensure problems are rare, recovery is predictable, and responsibility is clear.
➤ Oversight of mission-critical network and security infrastructure
➤ Reliability, resilience, and recovery planning
➤ Secure identity, access, and communications platforms
➤ Guardrails and standards that reduce operational risk
➤ Hands-on leadership during infrastructure incidents
Cyber Insurance Readiness
Cyber insurance is risk transfer, not risk management. We help organizations align their cybersecurity posture with insurer expectations so coverage is achievable, defensible, and meaningful.
Our focus is on making sure your organization can confidently demonstrate how risk is managed, not scrambling at renewal time.
➤ Cybersecurity readiness assessments aligned to insurer expectations
➤ Control gap identification and prioritization
➤ Documentation and evidence preparation for submissions
➤ Incident response and recovery alignment with policy requirements
➤ Support during underwriting questions and renewal cycles
Incident Response & Recovery Readiness
Most organizations do not need a full-time incident response retainer, but they do need a plan that works and leadership that stays calm when something breaks. We help organizations prepare for incidents before they occur and respond effectively when they do.
Our emphasis is on clarity: who does what, what gets restored first, how decisions get made, and how downtime is minimized.
➤ Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
➤ Disaster recovery and business continuity readiness
➤ Ransomware and “getting hacked” scenario preparation
➤ Executive decision support during incidents
➤ Coordination support with insurance, legal, and technical responders as needed
