Cybercriminals know regulated small businesses hold valuable data but lack enterprise-level defenses. The consequences are real, and growing.
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 SMBsHIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC, bar association rules: the regulatory requirements are complex, evolving, and non-negotiable. Falling behind means fines and lost trust.

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.
I spent over a decade in cybersecurity, most recently as the leader of the cyber threat intelligence team at a Fortune 200 financial institution. I started Purplehelix to bring that level of protection to the businesses that need it most, automated down to a price a small business can afford.
This isn't about selling fear or overpriced tools. It's about practical, transparent security guidance that makes a real difference for your business.
