Why You're Here

You're probably here because of one of these.

Most people find us the week something specific lands on their desk. If one of these is you, we can start this week.

How It Works

Start with one document. Go further only if it helps.

No long-term contracts. Each step stands on its own.

01

The Ten-Day Answer

The questionnaire, insurance application, or contract exhibit that is holding something up, answered in ten business days for a fixed $3,500.

02

Leadership Baseline

If the first document exposed more, we assess your whole program and give you a prioritized plan. Your $3,500 is credited if you start within 60 days.

03

Ongoing Advisory

A standing security leader for the next questionnaire, renewal, and board question. Monthly, fixed fee, cancel anytime.

Why CyberCascadia

Advisory-only means your advice is actually honest.

Most cybersecurity firms also sell managed services, monitoring, MDR, SOC-as-a-service. When your security advisor profits from selling you more tools, how do you know their recommendations are unbiased?

CyberCascadia earns nothing from what you buy. That's the difference.

Meet Tanner Harrison, CISSP →

✓ No products to sell

We don't resell firewalls, EDR, or monitoring. Zero product revenue.

✓ No managed services

We don't compete with your MSP. We make them better.

✓ You work with the founder

Tanner Harrison, CISSP, not a junior analyst or project manager.

✓ Fixed monthly pricing

No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. Budget with confidence.

What We Do

Engagements built around your risk, not our revenue.

Every engagement is tailored to your business, your industry, and your compliance obligations. No cookie-cutter packages.

Beyond Security

Already securing your business. Ready to run your technology.

The same Northwest businesses that need a security leader usually have no one owning technology either. Vendor choices, build-versus-buy calls, the roadmap, and the budget all get made without a guide. Because we already sit inside your business as your security partner, we can take those decisions on too.

This is the same trusted person going deeper, not a second firm and not a generalist IT shop. Tanner builds platforms and runs real infrastructure as a sales engineer, so technology calls come from someone who has actually done the work, with security built in from the first decision.

Technology strategy and roadmap

A clear, budget-aware plan for where your technology goes next, tied to your business goals.

Vendor, tooling, and build-versus-buy

Independent calls on what to adopt, what to replace, and what to build, with no product to sell you.

A steady technical hand

Senior technology judgment for a business that has never had a CTO, secure by design throughout.

What's Forcing the Timeline

Some of these show up with a date already attached.

Cyber Insurance

Carriers now deny coverage to businesses that cannot document their security controls. Your renewal date is the deadline, and it is already on the calendar.

WA State Privacy Law

The My Health My Data Act carries real legal exposure for any Washington business that handles health or personal data. The obligations apply whether or not anyone has read them.

Customer Security Requirements

Larger customers now push security questionnaires and contract security exhibits down to their suppliers. The due date is whenever the deal or renewal needs it, and it rarely comes with notice.

A Note from Tanner
Tanner Harrison, CISSP, Founder, CyberCascadia

"I started CyberCascadia because I kept seeing the same thing: small businesses in Tacoma and across the Pacific Northwest with real security exposure and no one to help them. Not because the expertise doesn't exist, but because the firms that have it are priced for Seattle or focused on selling managed services instead of giving honest advice."
