Cyber compliance without
a cybersecurity department.
Counties, cities, school districts, and utilities are prime ransomware targets with the thinnest security staffing anywhere. Lionfish stands up a real program — assessment, policies, employee training, and the documentation your insurer and your council keep asking for — with the staff you already have.
Your cyber insurance questionnaire is a compliance audit — 80+ questions now, with premiums and coverage riding on the answers.
Sound familiar?
Big target. Small team. Public scrutiny.
- !IT is two people and a help desk. Nobody has spare hours to build a security program from scratch — and grant cycles don't fund headcount.
- !The renewal keeps getting harder. Carriers now verify MFA, backups, and training with evidence — a declined renewal is a budget crisis.
- !A breach is front-page news. Public entities answer to residents and councils; 'we had no program' is not a survivable headline.
With Lionfish
- ✓Right-sized, standards-based. Programs built on NIST CSF 2.0 and the CIS Controls — the baselines carriers and auditors recognize.
- ✓Training your staff will finish. 52 awareness modules — including music-based training people actually complete — tracked per employee.
- ✓Indiana-based, veteran-owned. An SDVOSB partner with Purdue CERIAS ties and university partnerships across the state — we speak public sector.
How it works
Know. Fix. Prove.
Know where you stand. A plain-English assessment against NIST CSF and CIS baselines — your real posture, not a vendor scare report.
Fix the essentials first. MFA, backups, policies, and training — the safeguards that stop common attacks and satisfy carriers, at municipal budget scale.
Prove it to whoever asks. Insurer questionnaires, audit requests, and council updates answered from one documented program.
