Security and Compliance Built to Survive an Audit.
Cybersecurity is a live risk to revenue, uptime, and regulatory standing — not just an IT line item. Q7ai's cybersecurity practice moves through four stages — assess, protect, detect & respond, and comply — so security decisions are based on your actual risk profile and the compliance frameworks your industry is judged against, not a generic checklist.
What’s probably true right now
Every piece of cybersecurity services, under one team
Security Risk Assessments & Gap Analysis
A structured review of your environment against the framework that actually applies to you, with a prioritized list of what to fix first.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR) / 24/7 SOC
Continuous monitoring and human-reviewed alerts, so a 2 a.m. anomaly gets a response before sunrise, not after.
Endpoint Protection (EDR/XDR)
Modern endpoint defense that catches behavior signature-based antivirus misses entirely.
Email Security & Phishing Defense
Filtering plus ongoing security awareness training, since most breaches still start with one clicked link.
Identity & Access Management
MFA, SSO, and privileged access controls, so a stolen password isn't the same thing as a stolen network.
Vulnerability Management & Penetration Testing
Regular scanning and periodic real-world testing of your defenses — not a one-time report that goes stale in a month.
Compliance Services
HIPAA for healthcare, GLBA/FFIEC/SOC 2 for financial institutions, CMMC/NIST for manufacturers in the defense supply chain — mapped to the framework your auditors use.
vCISO (Fractional Security Leadership)
Executive-level security strategy and board reporting without carrying a full-time CISO salary.
Incident Response & Recovery
A documented response plan and a team on call for the day something does get through — built before it happens, not during.
Who this is for
Assess → Protect → Detect & Respond → Comply
Every engagement moves through the same four stages, so work is prioritized by actual risk, not whatever's easiest to sell.
Standalone or bundled with Managed IT
Run cybersecurity as its own engagement, or bundle it into a fully managed IT relationship.
How this maps to your industry
Mapped to GLBA, FFIEC guidance, and SOC 2 — with documentation ready before an examiner asks for it.
OT-aware security for plant-floor systems, plus CMMC/NIST readiness for the defense supply chain.
HIPAA-aligned safeguards for PHI, from email security to access controls to breach response.
Common questions
Is this fear-based sales, or do you actually assess our risk first?
Every engagement starts with an assessment — we don't sell a fix before identifying what's actually broken.
Do you work with companies that already have some security tools in place?
Yes — we regularly inherit and integrate existing tools rather than ripping and replacing on day one.
What compliance frameworks do you support?
HIPAA, GLBA/FFIEC, SOC 2, and CMMC/NIST, mapped to your industry during the initial assessment.
Do we need a full-time CISO?
Most mid-market companies don't — a vCISO engagement gives you the same strategic oversight on a fractional basis.
What happens if we do have an incident?
Your incident response plan is documented before anything happens, and our team is on call to execute it — not building the plan mid-crisis.
How is this priced?
Scoped to your environment and the compliance frameworks that apply to you, after the initial risk assessment.
