About Step Stone Security
We're on a mission to make expert cybersecurity advice accessible to small and medium-sized businesses without the overhead of a full-time security team.
Our Mission
At Step Stone Security, our mission is to democratize cybersecurity expertise, making it accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. We believe that every organization deserves robust security protection, regardless of their size or budget.
Through our fractional cybersecurity team model, we provide expert security advice, vulnerability assessments, and practical recommendations that help businesses identify and address security risks before they become problems.
Our Story
Step Stone Security was founded in 2018 by a team of cybersecurity experts who recognized a critical gap in the market: small and medium-sized businesses were being left vulnerable to cyber threats because they couldn't afford full-time security staff.
We set out to change that by creating a fractional cybersecurity team model that makes expert security advice accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. Today, we protect thousands of businesses across various industries, helping them identify vulnerabilities and implement practical security measures.
Our approach is straightforward: we use freely available tools to perform basic assessments, identify potential vulnerabilities, and provide clear guidance on whether you need more comprehensive security measures. We believe in transparency, practicality, and building long-term relationships with our clients.
