Security Governance & GRC
Stand up a real program on NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS Controls — governance, policies, and controls that match how you actually operate, managed in one place.
Managed Security & GRC for SMBs
A real security program on NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS Controls — so audits, customer security reviews, and your insurer become the easy part.
The problem
Passing an audit and being secure are not the same thing — and most SMBs find that out the hard way, usually the moment a major customer's security team starts asking real questions.
The template trap
The Qanta way
What we do
A full security and GRC practice for small and mid-sized businesses — delivered by practitioners who've built and run these programs at organizations large and small.
Stand up a real program on NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS Controls — governance, policies, and controls that match how you actually operate, managed in one place.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI. Build once on a strong foundation, then map to whatever frameworks your customers and regulators require.
24/7 monitoring and response, so suspicious activity gets caught and contained before it ever becomes an incident.
Find the weaknesses before attackers — or your customers' auditors — do. Clear findings, real exploitation, and practical fixes.
Fractional security leadership: strategy, board and customer reporting, vendor risk, and a roadmap that keeps maturing over time.
Turn your team into your first line of defense with phishing simulations and training that actually sticks.
Our approach
Most standards — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI — map back to two frameworks. So we build on NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS Controls once, then map to whatever your customers and regulators ask for. Build once, map many.
No shortcuts
We're not here to rush you to a certificate. We work alongside you to build the program the right way and keep you operating that way. Most firms lose their maturity the moment they're certified, then face an expensive scramble to re-certify every few years. We do it right and stay mature — so audits stop being a fire drill and become a formality.
We baseline your security maturity against NIST CSF 2.0 and pinpoint the gaps that actually matter — to your business and to your customers.
We implement CIS Controls and stand up governance and policies that fit how you really operate — right-sized with Implementation Groups, not a generic template.
We run and monitor the program in Citadel, collecting evidence continuously so you stay audit-ready and review-ready all year.
Strategy, roles, and risk decisions — the backbone CSF 2.0 added, and where most SMBs have nothing.
Know your assets, your data, and where the real risk lives.
Put the right safeguards in place to limit impact.
Spot anomalies and threats quickly.
Act decisively and contain when something happens.
Restore operations — and get stronger each time.
Build once, map many
The platform
Your whole program — controls, evidence, and live maturity against NIST CSF 2.0 — in one place, fed live by Wraith, our SIEM. Continuous, not point-in-time. So you're audit-ready and questionnaire-ready every day, not just the week before.
Pricing
Every engagement is a block of senior security time each month — not a cookie-cutter package. Pick the level of hands-on you need; we scope the rest with you. Here's where most SMBs start.
Get a real program off the ground — the right way.
For SMBs facing customer security reviews and audits.
Near-embedded — we run the program with you.
No fixed packages and no surprise invoices. We scope the right number of hours with you on a free assessment — and the rate is part of that conversation.
About Qanta
We've spent our careers inside enterprise security teams and leading programs at smaller, faster-moving companies. Qanta brings that hard-won, real-world rigor to the businesses that need it most — and can least afford to get it wrong.
Enterprise-trained
Security experience across large and small orgs
NIST CSF 2.0
+ CIS Controls foundation
SMB-first
The market everyone else overlooks
An industry-veteran bench across six disciplines — practitioners who’ve spent their careers building, defending, and attacking environments from regulated enterprises to fast-moving SMBs. Every engagement is staffed with the senior team your scope actually calls for.
Program leadership & vCISO
Strategy, roadmaps, board & executive advisory
Fractional security leadership for companies that can't justify a full-time CISO. We translate board priorities and customer demands into a practical roadmap — then own it with you, quarter after quarter.
Governance, risk & compliance
NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2 & ISO 27001 readiness, vendor-risk response
Practitioners who've sat on both sides of the audit table. We build evidence-backed programs on a NIST CSF 2.0 + CIS foundation and map them to the frameworks your customers actually ask about.
Offensive security
Penetration testing, red team, adversary emulation
We attack your environment the way a real adversary would — then stay to help you fix what we found. Every engagement ends with a prioritized path to being measurably harder to hit, not just a scary report.
Detection & response
24/7 MDR, SIEM, threat hunting
Round-the-clock monitoring, triage, and response built for businesses without a round-the-clock budget. Attackers don't keep business hours, so neither does the coverage we stand up.
Security architecture & engineering
Cloud, identity, zero trust, hardening
The hands-on engineering that turns policy into working controls — identity and access, cloud configuration, endpoint hardening, and the automation that keeps it all enforced.
Incident response & resilience
IR retainer, business continuity, disaster recovery
When something goes wrong — a breach, an outage, a ransomware note — you have a team on retainer that already knows your environment, plus continuity plans that have actually been exercised.
Credentials & trust
The questions a security-conscious customer asks before they trust a vendor — answered up front.
Your account is staffed by seasoned practitioners — operators who’ve spent their careers building, defending, and testing environments across finance, healthcare, SaaS, and the public sector. A senior team matched to your industry and your stack, from day one.
Start with a free assessment. We'll baseline your maturity against NIST CSF 2.0 and show you exactly where you stand — no obligation, no jargon.
