Digital Forensics & Incident Response
24/7 breach-response hotline with immediate containment support, ransomware readiness assessment, and crisis communications guidance. DFIR retainers provide pre-contracted response capacity so organizations can mobilize expert resources immediately when an incident occurs. Regulatory notification support helps navigate complex breach disclosure requirements across jurisdictions.

Full-spectrum offensive security services including external/internal/wireless penetration testing, web application and API security testing, red team adversary simulation, and social engineering campaigns. Findings are delivered with business-context risk ratings and actionable remediation guidance prioritized by exploitability and impact.
Managed Defensive Security — MDR/MSSP
24/7 Security Operations Center delivering MDR, managed EDR, SIEM, managed next-generation firewall, cloud security posture management for AWS/Azure/GCP, SASE/Zero Trust implementation, DLP, and security awareness training. A fully managed defensive stack that adapts to your environment without requiring internal SOC staffing.
AI & Emerging Technology Security
AI-model discovery and inventory, shadow-AI risk assessments, LLM firewall deployment, and ISO 42001 AI governance program implementation.

Why Echelon Risk + Cyber
Six reasons healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and government organizations choose Echelon for cybersecurity.
Full-Spectrum Under One Roof
Echelon covers the complete cybersecurity lifecycle — strategic vCISO advisory, GRC compliance management, offensive pen testing, and 24/7 managed defense. Most organizations cobble together multiple vendors for these capabilities; Echelon delivers them integrated, with shared context that makes each service more effective.
vCISO Leadership for Growing Organizations
Many organizations need CISO-level expertise but cannot justify a full-time security executive hire. Echelon's vCISO service provides board-level cyber risk advisory, multi-year security roadmaps, and executive communication support at a fraction of the cost — enabling organizations to mature their security posture without breaking the budget.
ISO 42001 AI Governance Differentiator
As organizations adopt generative AI tools, regulatory and risk exposure grows rapidly. Echelon is among a small number of firms that can implement ISO 42001 AI governance programs — covering shadow AI discovery, LLM firewall deployment, and formal AI risk management frameworks. A critical differentiator for GenAI-deploying enterprises.
24/7 DFIR Retainers with On-Demand Response
Echelon's DFIR retainer model ensures pre-contracted response capacity is available immediately when an incident occurs — no scrambling to find and onboard an IR firm during a crisis. The 24/7 hotline provides immediate containment support, and retainer clients receive prioritized response over time-and-materials engagements.
GRC Across 6+ Compliance Frameworks
Echelon's GRCaaS service manages compliance across HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FFIEC CAT, GDPR, CCPA, and more. Rather than hiring multiple compliance consultants for different frameworks, Echelon manages them holistically — identifying overlapping controls to reduce compliance effort and cost.
Proven Results — 90% Risk Reduction
Echelon delivered a 90% reduction in cyber risk for Montauk Renewables, demonstrating the measurable impact of their integrated cybersecurity approach.
