The problem

Most small and mid-sized firms have IT. Few have a security program.

You have a managed service provider or an internal IT team. They keep the network running, the laptops patched, the email flowing. That is not a security program.

A security program is a documented set of controls aligned to the regulations you operate under, owned by someone accountable, reviewed on a cadence your auditors and insurers expect, and ready to defend when an incident happens. Most organizations under 500 employees don't have one. Most don't know they don't have one until a breach, a failed audit, or a client questionnaire makes the gap visible.

VALO Technologies builds and runs that program for you, at a fraction of what hiring a full-time CISO would cost.

What we do

Services

Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Strategic security leadership on retainer — risk register ownership, policy development, audit preparation, and executive and board reporting. Reduces the regulatory and breach exposure that comes from having no accountable security owner, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CISO hire.
Learn more
Compliance & Risk
HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC readiness, gap assessments, and audit preparation — regulatory requirements translated into operational controls your team can implement. Reduces the cost and disruption of failed audits, client questionnaire delays, and findings that surface during incident response.
Learn more
Network Security Engineering
Senior engineering depth across Palo Alto Networks NGFW and Prisma, Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, F5 BIG-IP, and Cisco Umbrella. Architecture, segmentation, and policy work that reduces lateral movement risk, supports HIPAA §164.312 and SOC 2 CC6 access control requirements, and shrinks the attack surface external testers exploit.
Learn more
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessment
External, internal, web application, and social engineering testing aligned to PTES and NIST SP 800-115. Surfaces exploitable findings before attackers do, satisfies HIPAA evaluation, PCI DSS 11.4, and SOC 2 testing requirements, and produces remediation guidance your team can act on — not a scan report dressed up as a pen test.

Who we serve

Industries

Healthcare
Independent practices, behavioral health, ambulatory surgery centers, dental groups, and healthcare-adjacent SaaS. HIPAA Security Rule readiness, breach response support, and vCISO leadership — reduces the OCR enforcement, ransomware downtime, and insurance renewal exposure that hits practices without a documented security program.
Learn more
Financial Services
Banks, credit unions, RIAs, accounting firms, and insurance agencies. GLBA Safeguards Rule, NYDFS, FFIEC, and SEC cybersecurity readiness — closes the control gaps that drive regulatory findings, examiner criticism, and client trust erosion as financial regulators sharpen enforcement.
Learn more
Professional Services
Law firms, CPA firms, and consulting firms holding privileged client data. ABA Model Rule 1.6 alignment, IRS Publication 4557 WISP development, and client cybersecurity questionnaire response — protects privilege, defends against client offboarding triggered by failed security reviews, and shortens the sales cycle when prospects ask for proof of controls.

Why VALO

Why VALO Technologies

What separates a security consultancy from a compliance checkbox vendor.

Senior network security engineering depth

Loseini Valo Kamara, the firm's founder, has spent approximately a decade designing and operating security infrastructure across federal healthcare, state public health, and major banking environments. Real platforms, real production environments, real regulatory pressure. Most consultancies recommend; we also build.

Credentialed leadership

CISM, CompTIA SecurityX, PenTest+, CySA+, PCCSE. MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. MBA in IT Management. Credentials matter to your auditors, your insurers, and your board.

Regulated-industry focus

Healthcare, financial services, and professional services share a common thread: they all operate under regulatory frameworks that punish security failures. We work where the stakes are highest because that's where we have the most experience.

SMB-accessible

Enterprise consultancies have $200,000 minimum engagements. We have engagement models built for organizations between 25 and 500 employees with real budgets and real boards but without the resources to hire a full-time CISO.

How we work

Methodology

Every VALO engagement follows the same four-phase process, regardless of service line.

Assess

Risk analysis grounded in your specific environment, regulatory exposure, and threat landscape. No generic checklists.

Prioritize

A roadmap ordered by risk reduction per dollar, not vendor commissions or "best practice" theater.

Implement

Engineering depth to deploy what we recommend, working directly with your IT team or partnered with your MSP.

Sustain

Ongoing program ownership, audit support, and continuous improvement. Security is a program, not a project.
