AI Consulting for Small Business
Your business needs AI.
You need it done right.
Your employees are already using some of them — with or without your knowledge. You're worried about making an expensive mistake, exposing client data, or picking the wrong tool and getting stuck with it.
No tech team? You don't need one. You need someone who understands both the technology and the risk, and can tell you exactly what to do.
How We Work
Three ways to work together
Each engagement is independently valuable. Most clients start with an Assessment and go from there.
AI Readiness Assessment
We review your workflows, tools, and data practices. You get a plain-language report with your top three AI opportunities — ranked by impact and feasibility — and a security risk review for each.
Learn more →AI Implementation Sprint
We implement the top recommendation from your Assessment — or a specific initiative you've already identified. Tool selection, configuration, security review, and staff training. Done.
Learn more →Ongoing AI Advisory
Monthly check-ins, priority support, and quarterly security reviews. As AI tools evolve and new risks emerge, you'll know first.

Not another AI vendor
Most AI consultants can implement. Very few can implement safely. Here's what's different.
Security-first
Led by Kevin Hillis, CISSP — 20+ years in cybersecurity including security assessment, vulnerability research, and adversary-emulation concepts. Every AI recommendation is grounded in real offensive and defensive practice, not checklists.
Plain language
We explain AI in terms business owners actually understand. "Reads your invoices and flags errors" — not "leverages NLP for document intelligence." You'll always know what you're getting and why.
Vendor-neutral
We don't sell AI software and we don't take commissions. We recommend the right tool for your situation — not the one with the best referral deal.
Built for small business
Limited budget. Limited time. No IT department. Our recommendations are designed for how small businesses actually operate — not for enterprise clients with dedicated tech teams.
Current Work

Shadow AI — employees using unauthorized AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini with company data — is now one of the fastest-growing security risks for small businesses. It's not malicious. It's just people trying to do their jobs faster. But it can expose client records, financial data, and confidential files to systems you never approved.
The answer isn't to ban everything. It's to build a clear, practical AI policy — and give your team tools that are actually safe to use.
Talk about your AI risk exposure →Not sure where to start?
That's exactly what the Assessment is for. Send an email and describe what's on your mind — even "I have no idea what we should be doing with AI" is a perfectly good place to begin.
