Security based on impact, not intuition.

What We Do
NMC Advisors works with small and mid-sized organizations that face the same cyber risks as large enterprises, but rarely have access to the same level of security leadership.
As expectations increase from regulators, insurers, customers, and boards, many organizations are left making security decisions based on assumptions, inherited checklists, or vendor recommendations. That often results in activity without clarity.
We provide enterprise-level security leadership, made accessible for small and mid-sized organizations, helping executives prioritize actions based on impact and make decisions that can be clearly explained, defended, and sustained.
How We Work
Our work starts by establishing clarity — about risk, uncertainty, and priorities — and then builds consistency over time.
We focus on:
- Identifying which risks materially affect the business
- Reducing uncertainty where it influences decisions
- Aligning security efforts with real operational and regulatory expectations
- Supporting leadership with clear, practical guidance
This approach keeps security grounded in impact rather than intuition, habit, or noise.

Who We Work With
NMC Advisors typically works with organizations that:
- Have 30–500 employees
- Operate in regulated, compliance-aware, or client-audited environments
- Rely on cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365
- Face growing pressure from insurers, customers, or regulators
- Do not need — or cannot justify — a full-time CISO
- Want better security decisions, not more activity
Our clients may be smaller in headcount, but they are not small in responsibility, exposure, or expectations.
