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, building the programs that tell a major bank what to worry about, what to fix first, and how to turn intelligence into defenses. I started Purplehelix to bring that same capability 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.
The name combines "red team" offensive security techniques with "blue team" defensive methodologies, creating purple, woven into an interconnected, evolving security program: the helix.
We communicate clearly about security risks without unnecessary jargon or fearmongering. You'll always know what we found, what it means, and what to do about it.
We focus on realistic solutions that provide the greatest security improvement for the investment. No theoretical recommendations that sit on a shelf.
We maintain deep knowledge of both cybersecurity best practices and industry-specific regulations. When examiners call, you'll be ready.
We build long-term relationships based on trust and measurable results. Your success is our success, and we're in it for the long haul.
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.
Internet-facing systems, cloud services, web applications, and employee credentials already circulating from past breaches.
The primary attack vector. We audit email security, remote access, VPNs, and every authentication point.
Findings ranked by what criminals are actually exploiting right now, mapped against your regulatory requirements.
One page: what to fix, in what order, and why. Written for you and your IT provider.
Security isn't a one-time project. We keep monitoring for new exposures, leaked credentials, and threats to the technology you actually run.
No sales pitch. No jargon. Just an honest conversation about where you stand and what you can do about it.
