New service offering combines audits, penetration testing, and strategic advisory to help growing companies adopt Zero Trust architecture and mitigate evolving cyber threats.
-- As cyberattacks grow in sophistication and frequency, SEC.co, a leading cybersecurity consulting firm, today announced the launch of its Zero Trust Readiness Assessments—a comprehensive new cybersecurity audit offering designed to help mid-market enterprises evaluate and implement Zero Trust architecture.
The Zero Trust model—built on the principle of “never trust, always verify”—is rapidly becoming the gold standard in cybersecurity, especially for organizations with distributed workforces, cloud infrastructure, and limited internal security teams. SEC.co’s new service empowers companies to assess their current cybersecurity posture, uncover vulnerabilities, and develop a practical, phased roadmap for Zero Trust adoption.
A Holistic, Risk-Based Approach to Zero Trust
SEC.co’s Zero Trust Readiness Assessment includes:
- Cybersecurity Audit – A full review of existing IT infrastructure, user access privileges, endpoint security, and compliance posture.
- Penetration Testing – Controlled simulations of real-world attacks to expose exploitable gaps across networks, applications, and devices.
- Policy & Process Evaluation – Examination of employee permissions, authentication protocols, and data governance policies.
- Technology Gap Analysis – Review of current tools (firewalls, IAM, MFA, SIEM) against industry benchmarks and Zero Trust maturity models.
- Strategic Roadmap & Implementation Plan – A tailored, executive-ready report with prioritized actions, timelines, and vendor-neutral recommendations.
“As enterprise-grade attacks increasingly target smaller companies, Zero Trust is no longer optional—it’s essential,” said Nate Nead, CEO of SEC.co. “Our new assessments help mid-sized businesses cut through complexity and move toward stronger security with confidence. We’re bridging the gap between intention and execution.”
Educating and Equipping the Underserved Mid-Market
While larger enterprises have dedicated CISOs and internal security teams, mid-sized companies are often left to navigate cybersecurity with limited resources. SEC.co’s offering is purpose-built to serve this market, helping clients align security strategy with business goals—without overengineering solutions.
“Too many mid-market companies are reactive when it comes to security,” said Samuel Edards, Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re shifting that mindset. This service not only diagnoses existing risks—it builds awareness and equips leadership with a clear path forward. Our brand is about making cybersecurity smart, accessible, and actionable.”
Aligning Cybersecurity with Business Objectives
As regulatory requirements and ransomware threats increase, SEC.co’s Zero Trust solution is already seeing strong demand. The company has onboarded clients across technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services—many of whom cite improved compliance readiness and increased resilience as key outcomes.
“Security is not just a cost—it’s a business enabler,” said Timothy Carter, Chief Revenue Officer. “Our assessments are designed to help decision-makers make smart, defensible investments in security. It’s about risk reduction and operational continuity, which translates into long-term ROI.”
Organizations interested in evaluating their Zero Trust maturity can now schedule a free discovery call or initial risk consultation with SEC.co’s advisory team.
