Our Services

How We Protect You.

Cyfi delivers cybersecurity and IT consulting services to public sector organizations, with a specialization in state, local, and education agencies. Our work spans four pillars, from hands-on security operations through compliance, workforce training, and technical staffing. Whether you need a one-time assessment, sustained support, or qualified people on a contract, we scale to the engagement.
Practitioner Credibility

Cyber Operations & Security.

Cyber Operations & Security is the practitioner-level foundation of everything we do. It covers identifying where an environment is vulnerable, closing those gaps, and validating that fixes hold up under real-world conditions.

This work carries particular weight for SLED agencies. They often operate a mix of legacy and modern systems, with small internal security teams responsible for protecting sensitive constituent and student data. Those conditions make them frequent targets, and most agencies do not have the internal bandwidth to keep pace on their own.

Risk Assessments
✓Pinpoint potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your systems and processes.
✓Develop and recommend risk mitigation strategies to reduce the chances of potential security incidents.
✓Prevent security incidents by addressing risks that could lead to unauthorized access or data compromise.
Vulnerability Testing
✓Conduct vulnerability scanning to identify security weaknesses and flaws in systems.
✓Develop an inventory of all network-connected systems and assets.
✓Perform scans on networks, hardware, software, and systems to pinpoint potential risks.
✓Detect and classify system weaknesses, identifying vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.
Penetration Testing
✓Uncover potential vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or applications before they are exploited.
✓Allows you to mitigate the risk of security breaches and data compromises.
✓Ensures a strong defense against evolving cyber threats.
Network & Endpoint Security Monitoring
✓Identify and respond to potential threats in real-time, minimizing the impact of cyberattacks.
✓Monitor user activities to detect and prevent insider threats.
✓Early detection and response to security incidents help minimize downtime.
Governance & IAM Expertise

Identity & Compliance.

Identity & Compliance covers the governance side of cybersecurity: building out regulatory compliance frameworks, managing identity and access management (IAM), and developing IT governance policy that holds up to audit.

SLED agencies operate under a patchwork of regulatory requirements, from state data privacy laws to sector-specific rules like FERPA for education records, often without a dedicated compliance function to manage them. Weak access controls remain one of the most common root causes behind government breaches.

Audit & Compliance
✓Comprehensive cybersecurity analysis and review service.
✓Identifying weaknesses and potential threats in your IT infrastructure.
✓Ensuring your IT system aligns with established security standards.
✓Dedicated to maintaining compliance with cybersecurity policies and procedures.
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
✓Manage who has access to what across your systems and applications.
✓Ensure the right people have the right level of access, and nothing more.
✓Reduce risk from excessive or outdated access permissions.
IT Governance Policy Development
✓Develop clear, documented IT governance policies tailored to your agency.
✓Establish a consistent framework for IT decision-making and accountability.
✓Align policies with the regulatory standards your agency is required to meet.
Awareness & Facilitation

Human Risk Training.

Human Risk Training addresses the layer of cybersecurity that technology alone cannot cover: the people using the systems every day.

Phishing remains a leading way attackers get into SLED environments, and a number of states now mandate annual security awareness training for public employees. Agencies and school districts often deal with high staff turnover and limited internal capacity to run these programs consistently.

Training Solutions
✓Security awareness platform deployment and structured training facilitation.
✓Strengthen your agency's cybersecurity resilience with effective training programs.
✓Educate your workforce on the common tactics behind cyber threats and attacks.
✓Equip your employees with knowledge about best practices to safeguard your agency.
Sourcing & Placement Delivery

Talent & Staffing Solutions.

Talent & Staffing Solutions covers the sourcing and placement of specialized cybersecurity and general technical talent, matched to the specific requirements of a contract or project.

Public sector agencies routinely struggle to compete with private sector salaries for cybersecurity and IT talent, and many state, local, and education organizations carry long-standing workforce gaps in these roles. Standing up a full hiring process for a short-term or specialized need is not always practical.
