CAPITALCYBER

Company

We started this firm after a ransomware attack of our own.

Capital Cyber exists because our founder went through a severe ransomware attack and the disruption that follows one. That is not a marketing origin story. It is the reason the work is done the way it is done here.

How we work

We say when something is not implemented

Your Affirming Official signs the affirmation and the exposure is theirs. An optimistic score is not a favour to anyone.

We are not a C3PAO

Deliberately. It means we can remediate what we assessed and then stay on to run it, which an assessor is constrained from doing.

We stay after go-live

A report starts aging the day it is delivered. Somebody has to own the posture afterwards or it decays quietly.

We take the small ones

One-person shops and thirty-person machine shops, the suppliers large consultancies price out. They carry the same obligations.

One firm, both halves

The people writing your documentation are the people running your security, so the gap between the two does not open.

Leesburg, Virginia

Northern Virginia, working with contractors across the region and remotely with suppliers further out.

What we do now

We run live CMMC engagements against real deadlines. We write the policies, collect the evidence, build the diagrams, and sit with the client when the questions get uncomfortable. We are an MSP, an MSSP and a Managed Compliance Provider.

In 2024 our testing team cracked more than 20,000 passwords. Almost every one belonged to an organization whose written policy said its passwords were strong. The policy was not dishonest, it had simply never been tested against anything. That gap, between the control as written and the control as it behaves, is what an assessment is for.

Talk to us.

A readiness call is a conversation, not a pitch. If you are further along than you think, we will tell you that.

If you are a defense supplier under 25 people, start with the grant. Cyber Grants Alliance, a nonprofit, awards a fully funded gap assessment. It costs you nothing and you are under no obligation to buy anything afterwards, from us or from anyone.
