Who are ABI Consulting’s services designed for?

Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Our tools help owners, IT leaders, and security teams get clarity fast without enterprise complexity.

Do I need technical expertise to use these tools?

No. Each assessment uses plain language with built-in tips. You’ll see prioritized actions you can take immediately.

What happens after I complete an assessment?

You’ll get an instant snapshot with tailored recommendations. We can provide a deeper roadmap or fractional vCISO support if you want hands-on help.

How accurate are the ROI and maturity results?

They’re directional and aligned to recognized frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001). They jump-start the conversation—not a substitute for a formal audit.

Can I share results with leadership or customers?

Yes. The results are written for business stakeholders and can support board updates, customer due diligence, or planning discussions.

Custom — scoping session recommended

For organizations with complex environments or advanced requirements, ABI Consulting conducts a dedicated scoping call to define objectives, right-size the approach, and provide a tailored proposal. This can include framework alignment (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC readiness), deeper cloud/app reviews, or coordination with trusted partners for testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What we do, how we help, and how to see value fast as an SMB.

What does ABI Consulting actually do?›

We help SMBs get “secure enough, fast.” We start with pragmatic best practices and quick wins, then map to frameworks as needed (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF) when your customers or growth demand it.

How do engagements start and what do the first 30 days look like?›

Week 1: baseline + top 10 fixes. Weeks 2–4: implement quick wins, stand up lightweight governance (risk register, exceptions), and set exec-ready metrics.

What problems do you solve first?›

Close obvious gaps (MFA, backups, admin sprawl), tame vulnerabilities, tighten vendor risk, and produce board/customer-ready reporting.

How do you work with our MSP or internal IT?›

We don’t replace them—we make them more effective. We set the security priorities, define simple playbooks, and partner with your MSP/IT to execute.

What makes ABI different?›

SMB-first, outcome-driven, hands-on. Clear owners, simple artifacts (one-page plans > slide decks), measurable risk reduction, and a best-practices-first approach—framework alignment when it truly matters.

What do we get as tangible deliverables?›

A one-page security plan, risk register + exception log, 30/60/90 roadmap, VM Rescorer view with SLAs, and an executive-ready metrics dashboard.

Do your free tools require technical knowledge?›

A little. They use plain language and built-in tips, but assume basic IT/security familiarity. You’ll still get prioritized actions you can take immediately.
