Ensuring excellence through rigorous compliance standards
Founder & Principal Consultant BYST Security LLC I started BYST Security LLC, which stands for “Before You Spend Thousands,” because I believe cybersecurity doesn't always require expensive tools or large budgets. Many times, the right advice, smarter processes, or stronger configurations can make all the difference without breaking the bank. With 14+ years of experience in cybersecurity and IT audit, I've helped businesses, universities, and non-profits protect their systems and meet compliance standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more. At BYST Security, my focus is simple: help organizations stay secure, compliant, and confident—while keeping solutions practical and cost effective. My mission is to make cybersecurity something that empowers your business, not something that drains it.
