As the threat landscape continues to evolve, mid-market enterprises are under increasing pressure to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. A new service offering from SEC.co, a leading cybersecurity consulting firm, aims to help these organizations adopt Zero Trust architecture and mitigate the growing threat of cyberattacks.
“As enterprise-grade attacks increasingly target smaller companies, Zero Trust is no longer optional—it’s essential,” said Nate Nead, CEO of SEC.co. “Our new assessments help mid-sized businesses cut through complexity and move toward stronger security with confidence. We’re bridging the gap between intention and execution.”
A Holistic, Risk-Based Approach to Zero Trust
SEC.co’s Zero Trust Readiness Assessments are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s current cybersecurity posture, uncover vulnerabilities, and develop a practical, phased roadmap for Zero Trust adoption. The assessments include:
- Cybersecurity Audit – A full review of existing IT infrastructure, user access privileges, endpoint security, and compliance posture.
- Penetration Testing – Controlled simulations of real-world attacks to expose exploitable gaps across networks, applications, and devices.
- Policy & Process Evaluation – Examination of employee permissions, authentication protocols, and data governance policies.
- Technology Gap Analysis – Review of current tools (firewalls, IAM, MFA, SIEM) against industry benchmarks and Zero Trust maturity models.
- Strategic Roadmap & Implementation Plan – A tailored, executive-ready report with prioritized actions, timelines, and vendor-neutral recommendations.
These assessments are designed to help mid-market enterprises align security strategy with business goals, without overengineering solutions. The goal is to build awareness and equips leadership with a clear path forward, enabling them to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity posture. Too many mid-market companies are reactive when it comes to security,” said Samuel Edards, Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re shifting that mindset. This service not only diagnoses existing risks—it builds awareness and equips leadership with a strong foundation for a robust security strategy.”
Aligning Cybersecurity with Business Objectives
The Zero Trust Readiness Assessments are already seeing strong demand, with clients across technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services citing improved compliance readiness and increased resilience as key outcomes. Security is not just a cost—it’s a business enabler,” said Timothy Carter, Chief Revenue Officer. “Our assessments are designed to help decision-makers make smart, defensible investments in security. It’s about risk reduction and operational continuity, which translates into long-term ROI.”
SEC.co’s solution is particularly relevant in today’s cybersecurity landscape, where large enterprises have dedicated CISOs and internal security teams, while mid-sized companies are often left to navigate cybersecurity with limited resources.
