An independent cybersecurity assurance and advisory firm for businesses that need to prove their security is working. We keep risk visible, keep remediation moving, and keep the evidence current, working alongside your MSP or IT team, never replacing them.
Independent validation· Insurance renewals· Client due diligence· Evidence & documentation
The fit call includes a complimentary external exposure snapshot of your firm, reviewed live, with no obligation.
You may already have an IT team, an MSP, or security tools in place. The question we answer is a different one: is it actually working, is it documented, and would it hold up if someone looked? Firms engage us for a specific reason, or simply to know, independently, where they truly stand.
Your MSP or IT team runs the environment and reports that it’s secure. We’re the independent check that confirms it: validating that the controls you’re paying for are actually in place and effective, and giving leadership assurance that doesn’t come from the same team doing the work.
When an examination or audit reaches into your cybersecurity oversight, we prepare the risk register, validation record, and evidence trail that answer the questions before they’re asked: organized, current, and independent.
Underwriters now expect vulnerability management, penetration testing, and documented oversight as conditions of coverage. We validate the underlying controls and evidence so your responses are accurate, supportable, and defensible, and we keep that evidence current at every renewal.
When an institutional client or custodian sends a 200-question security assessment, we help you prepare evidence-backed responses for your review and approval, assemble the documentation behind them, and give leadership a defensible account of the independent review your firm undergoes.
Start small, see the findings, and step up only when the value is proven. Each engagement credits toward the next. Pricing is scoped to your environment and shared on a brief call.
A focused, remote review of your external exposure, identity and Microsoft 365 configuration, and current evidence posture.
An independent evaluation of your security program, scoped to your environment and turned into an executive-ready record leadership can act on.
Areas are included where applicable to the defined scope; depth varies with environment complexity.
Ongoing independent oversight: continuous visibility, monthly governance, control validation, and an evidence register that stays current. Plus and Executive tiers add periodic third-party & vendor risk review.
Scoped work for a specific pressure, available on its own or alongside a program. We’ll scope and price it on a short call.
When a custodian, institutional client, or partner sends a lengthy security questionnaire, we prepare evidence-backed responses for your review and approval, assemble the supporting documentation, and give you a response you can stand behind, turned around on your deadline, not theirs.
We inventory your critical vendors, review their contracts and attestations against your framework, and deliver a prioritized vendor-risk register: the oversight your insurer and clients now expect you to document.
We find where AI is actually used across your firm, including the shadow AI your team hasn't reported, then assess client-data exposure and deliver an AI acceptable-use policy and governance roadmap aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
An independent review of your network security design, covering segmentation, firewall and NGFW policy, and remote-access and VPN exposure, measured against your risk and framework, with a prioritized findings register and remediation roadmap.
A steady cadence, not a one-time report. Your leadership sees risk, decisions, and progress every month.
Continuous external exposure and vulnerability visibility across your covered environment.
Periodic control validation and an annual independent penetration test, defined scope and performed under written authorization.
Owners, deadlines, exceptions, and re-testing, recorded in an evidence register built for scrutiny.
Residual risk translated into leadership decisions, budgets, and defensible answers.
Every Continuous Assurance plan is a 12-month program billed monthly. Higher tiers add governance depth, cloud and identity oversight, and executive advisory.

12-month agreement. Client participation is typically 1–2 hours monthly plus quarterly reviews. Pricing is tailored to your environment and shared on a brief call; Executive Assurance is scoped to advisory hours and environment size. Penetration testing is a defined-scope engagement performed under written authorization, by Verilume or a qualified specialist partner. Formal web-application testing, incident response, and remediation work are separately scoped unless stated in the agreement.
Independence is what makes assurance credible. Your MSP or internal IT team continues to operate and remediate the environment. Our role is to independently maintain visibility, validate selected controls, track remediation and evidence, and help leadership understand residual risk. Most IT providers welcome it: they get a clear, prioritized list instead of vague worry, and their good work finally shows up in front of leadership.
Verilume Technology Assurance is an independent cybersecurity assurance and advisory practice serving organizations accountable for their security, nationwide. We exist for one reason: to give leadership an independent, evidence-based account of where their security program stands, and to keep that account current as expectations from insurers, clients, and the market keep rising.
Our practice is led by a senior security executive with more than two decades spent architecting, securing, and governing enterprise networks and security programs. That means deep technical command of Zero Trust, next-generation firewalls, cloud security, and incident response, paired with the leadership to translate it into decisions a board can act on. We work alongside your existing MSP or IT team, never replacing them: they operate and remediate, we validate and document.
Clear boundaries are what keep the independence real. Verilume validates and advises; it does not operate your environment or own your risk.
Straight answers to what prospects ask before the first call.
We’ll review a complimentary external exposure snapshot of your firm, understand your exam, renewal, or due-diligence timeline, talk through scope and pricing, and tell you honestly whether independent assurance fits. The snapshot uses publicly observable exposure information only; no intrusive scanning or testing is performed without written authorization. No pitch, no obligation.
