Cyber security consulting
Security work that ends in decisions, not a 200-page PDF.
Minjares Consulting helps small and mid-sized organizations find the weaknesses that matter, fix them in the right order, and prove it to the customers, auditors, and insurers who ask.
The problem
Most security reports get read once and filed.
Scanners produce hundreds of findings without saying which ones an attacker could chain. Compliance vendors sell a checklist that satisfies an auditor, not one that makes you harder to breach.
Every engagement here ends with a ranked list: what to fix, what it costs, and what happens if you don't — written for your engineers to act on and your leadership to fund.
Services
Where we help
Engagements are scoped and priced up front. Take one, or combine them into an ongoing program.
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Someone who owns your security programme without the cost of a full-time hire. For companies carrying real obligations — SOC 2, PCI DSS, a customer security review, an insurance renewal — and nobody whose job it is to answer them.
Details →Security Assessments & Penetration Testing
Find the paths an attacker would actually take — across your network, applications, and people — before someone else does.
Details →Compliance Readiness
Get audit-ready without turning your security program into paperwork. Gap analysis first, then the shortest credible path to the control set you need.
Details →Incident Response Readiness
Decide who does what while nothing is on fire. Response plans, runbooks, and tabletop exercises that hold up under pressure.
Details →Security Awareness Training
Training your team will actually sit through, built around the attacks that target your industry.

How we work
Four steps, no surprises
You know the scope, the price, and the deliverable before any work starts.
01
Scope
A short working session to understand your environment, your obligations, and what would genuinely hurt if it went wrong. You get a fixed scope and a fixed price agreed before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
02
Assess
Hands-on testing and review against your actual systems. You are kept in the loop throughout: anything critical is reported the day it is found, not saved for the final report.
03
Report
One report written for engineers and one summary written for leadership. Every finding includes reproduction steps, business impact, and a specific remediation, ranked by what to fix first.
04
Remediate
Support while your team fixes what was found, followed by retesting to confirm the issues are actually closed out.
Where we fit
Who this is for
Growing software companies
You just lost a deal to a security questionnaire, or your biggest customer wants a SOC 2 report by next quarter.
Regulated small business
Healthcare, finance, legal, defense supply chain — the obligations are real and the in-house security team is you.
Teams after an incident
Something already happened. You need an honest read on the damage and a plan that keeps it from happening twice.
