Expert IT Security and Privacy Consulting - Right Here in Central New York
Most small and mid-sized organizations in the Utica–Rome region and across Central New York face serious security and privacy obligations, many without the in-house expertise to address them confidently. Cyber threats don't discriminate by size. Ransomware hits small medical practices and law firms just as hard as Fortune 500 companies. Data breach notification requirements apply to every organization that handles personal information, regardless of how many employees they have.
Good Life Technology is based in Sauquoit, NY. I'm your neighbor. I bring a level of expertise to this region that is typically only accessible to large organizations in major metros.
We just got our cyber insurance renewal questionnaire and have no idea how to answer it.
This is one of the most common calls I get. I help organizations complete the questionnaire accurately, identify the gaps that will affect their premium, and build a prioritized plan to address them.
We had a security incident and aren't sure what to do.
If you've experienced a breach, ransomware attack, or suspicious activity, call me first. I can help you assess the situation, coordinate with external resources, and navigate notification obligations. Emergency consultation available.
Our vendor is asking us to sign a data processing agreement and we don't know what it means.
I review vendor contracts and data processing agreements for local organizations. I'll tell you what it means, what to push back on, and what to accept.
We've never done anything formal around security and we need to start somewhere.
My Security Program Assessment identifies where you are, where you need to be, and what to do first. It's a practical, prioritized roadmap - not a 200-page report you'll never read.
WHAT WORKING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE LOCALLY
For local engagements, I'm available for in-person meetings, on-site assessments, and staff training at your location. You get the same practitioner depth that large organizations hire enterprise firms to deliver — but from someone who is part of this community, understands the local business environment, and charges rates that work for organizations of your size.
On-site security assessments and walkthroughs
In-person staff training and security awareness workshops
In-person facilitation for board briefings or leadership sessions
Available for emergency response consultation for local organizations facing an active incident
I'm happy to have a no-pressure conversation about your situation. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If someone else is a better fit, I'll tell you that too.
