// The Reality

Small businesses are the #1 target.

Cybercriminals know regulated small businesses hold valuable data but lack enterprise-level defenses. The consequences are real, and growing.

You're a Prime Target

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 SMBs

Compliance is Mandatory

HIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC, bar association rules: the regulatory requirements are complex, evolving, and non-negotiable. Falling behind means fines and lost trust.

Avg. HIPAA fine: $1.5M

You Can't Fix Everything

Security advice is a firehose: thousands of "critical" alerts, most of which will never be used against you. The skill isn't finding problems; it's knowing which handful actually matter to your business.

Only ~5% of vulnerabilities are ever exploited

Insurance Demands More

Cyber insurance carriers now require documented security programs, risk assessments, and proof of compliance before issuing or renewing your policy.

We start where attackers start.

Outside-in: we begin at your exposed perimeter, the part of your business attackers see first, and work inward, prioritizing by what's actually being exploited in the real world.

01

Map What Attackers See

Your internet-facing systems, cloud services, web applications, and employee credentials already circulating from past breaches. Exposures here are the front door.

02

Email & Authentication

The #1 attack vector. We audit email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), remote access, VPNs, and every authentication point into your organization.

03

Prioritize by Real-World Danger

We rank findings by what criminals are actually exploiting right now, not theoretical severity scores, and map them against your regulatory requirements (HIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC, bar rules).

One page: what to fix, in what order, and why. Written for you and your IT provider: no security background needed, no 40-page report to decode.

Keep Watching

Security isn't a one-time project. We keep monitoring your footprint (new exposures, newly leaked credentials, threats to the technology you actually run) and tell you when something needs action.

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.

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.
