ABOUT THE CYBER FRIEND

Affordable Security Consulting for SMBs

The Cyber Friend was established in 2021 to address a common issue faced by many small businesses: genuine cybersecurity expertise typically comes with a price tag suited for large enterprises rather than small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Most expanding companies find themselves vulnerable and inadequately supported, as hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is often unaffordable, and major managed service providers (MSPs) offer packages designed for larger clients. The Cyber Friend bridges this gap by providing expert, tailored security leadership at a price that small businesses can actually manage. There are no long-term commitments, no rotating consultants, no complicated jargon—just clear advice from a certified professional who is truly dedicated to safeguarding your business.

About the Team

OUR STORY
Our Journey Hello, I'm Sam Durso. I established The Cyber Friend in 2021 after noticing that many startups and small businesses were unable to afford genuine cybersecurity assistance or were forced to rely on generic solutions that didn't meet their specific requirements. Currently, I work as a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) and CMMC Specialist, helping clients navigate NIST 800-171, NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliance with tailored strategies that improve security maturity and maintain long-term regulatory compliance.
