Our Story

Early Days: Careful Security was started in 2020 during the middle of the pandemic locked down at home and wanting to solve the escalating cybersecurity challenges for remote work environments. We have been fully remote ever since.

Obstacles: The challenge in the beginning was to find clients and establish our credibility as trustworthy service providers. We didn’t have a marketing budget or investor. We drew on our 401K savings to get started.

Growth and Evolution: The best part of the growth is that we have survived and scaled since then. Over the last 5 years we have served over 50 clients sometimes through one-off engagements and sometimes through sustainable cybersecurity programs which we continue to manage and monitor for them on an ongoing basis. Over time we’ve had the good fortune to work with many talented individuals. We’re proud of giving some of them a place to grow in the industry.

Looking Ahead: Along the way, we’ve made some mistakes and learned our lessons. We believe we’re in a good position to launch into our next phase of growth.

Mission and Values: We want to walk the talk and not renege on any of the promises we make to our clients. Only when our clients are securely protected do we continue to grow with them.

CISO Wisdom: Cybersecurity Untangled

by Sammy Basu (Author), Elon Ramirez (Illustrator)

Cybersecurity is a complex subject that is gradually encompassing all parts of our lives. This book discusses why the cybersecurity puzzle will continue to grow in complexity until we start identifying, analyzing and resolving the root cause of the problem. Adding more technology may not solve our problem since big companies and government agencies with large technology stacks are still experiencing security breaches. The book explores the people and process side of cybersecurity and how we can leverage these two components to create a successful cybersecurity program.

  • Understand the root causes of cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

  • Leverage the power of people to strengthen your security posture.

  • Develop and implement effective cybersecurity processes.

  • Build a resilient cybersecurity program that can withstand evolving threats.
