I'm looking to start a business that would offer cyber security penetration testing and physical penetration testing to other small to mid sized enterprises. Schools, Law firms, community colleges, local governments, LE, etc.
In the current landscape cyber threats are only getting more sophisticated and the consequences of getting compromised are severe, and can cost hundreds of thousands to remediate in addition to the loss in business and legal liability you may be exposed to following theft of sensitive information. The Intent of this business is to offer services to identify, exemplify, and offer a path to remediate cyber and physical security vulnerabilities.
I myself have experience doing this type of work for the government, and I've also provided this service as a reserve service member. The team I have built up all come from the USSF and the USAF.
For the most part the overhead cost wouldn't be huge as I wouldn't need a physical space, and I already have most of the tech stuff necessary.
My question for the group is:
What are your personal experiences with starting a small business?? particularly one based in intellectual property and consulting? If so, how did you approach marketing?
I already have a general business plan written up. my only hang up is on getting out and interfacing with possible clients.
PS: If you would be interested in this type of service please reach out to me directly.
