Certifications

  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework practitioner

  • CIS Controls implementation experience

Case Study

Proven Results in the Field

Real outcomes for real organizations — not theoretical frameworks applied to hypothetical scenarios.

  • Led full cybersecurity overhaul for a 30-person CDC in New York
  • Reduced vendor spend by 23% through contract rationalization
  • Completed HIPAA Security Rule readiness assessment for a behavioral health provider (gap analysis and remediation roadmap — not a compliance certification)
  • Established board-level IT governance for a regional advocacy organization

Note: Moat Cybersecurity does not provide legal compliance certification. Our work produces readiness assessments, gap analyses, and remediation roadmaps. Organizations seeking formal compliance certification should engage a qualified legal or compliance professional.

"Most nonprofits I work with aren't failing at technology. They're failing at technology leadership. The tools are there. The strategy, the governance, the accountability — that's what's missing."
