Reduce your cyber risk โ before someone else finds it first.
From growing businesses to community banks, we help organizations build practical security, risk, and compliance programs โ and the evidence to prove they work. People plus the right technology, minus the jargon.
Right-sized security for wherever you are.
Different organizations, different pressures โ same goal: reduce the risk without the enterprise price tag. Here's where we do our best work.
Growing Businesses & SMBs
You've outgrown "we'll deal with security later," but a full-time CISO isn't in the budget. We give you senior guidance and a real program, right-sized to your team.
Regulated & Compliance-Driven
SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR, NIST โ auditors and regulators want evidence, not intentions. We build the program and the proof to back it.
Community & Mid-Size Banks
AI is now a standing topic in every bank exam. We stand up your AI governance and third-party risk program with examiner-ready evidence. Explore the bank program โ
One practice. The full range of security help.
Reduce Cyber Risk is an advisory and consulting practice โ from ongoing security leadership to focused, one-time engagements. Pick what fits, or we'll tailor it to you.
AI Governance
Put guardrails around how your organization adopts AI โ policy, inventory, risk, and vendor oversight. With a specialized, examiner-ready program for banks.
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Senior security leadership on demand โ strategy, board reporting, and program direction without a full-time hire.
Assessments & Audits
Risk evaluations and audit readiness across NIST, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and GDPR โ with clear, prioritized findings.
Risk & Compliance
Navigate complex regulations with audit assistance, GRC platform selection, and framework-based assessments.
Insider Risk Management
Stand up an insider threat program โ governance, use cases, and detection aligned to compliance standards.
Intellectual Property Protection
Protect your trade secrets, proprietary data, and R&D from theft, insider exfiltration, and espionage.
People + the right technology.
Tools don't reduce risk on their own. We combine practical judgment with the right technology so security becomes something your team can actually run.
Practical, not academic
No fear, no jargon, no 200-page reports nobody reads. Clear priorities and next steps you can execute.
Evidence-driven
Everything we build produces the documentation you can hand an examiner, auditor, or board with confidence.
Right-sized
Programs scaled to your team and budget โ built for lean shops where one person wears several hats.
Hi, I'm Shon Gerber.
I've spent my career helping organizations cut through the noise of cybersecurity and focus on what actually reduces risk. I founded Reduce Cyber Risk to bring senior-level security and governance expertise to the businesses and community banks that need it most โ without the enterprise price tag or the fear-based sales pitch.
When banks started facing hard questions about AI governance and had nowhere to turn, I built a program specifically for them. Practical, evidence-driven, and right-sized.
Host of the CISSP Cyber Training Podcast
I teach cybersecurity to thousands through the CISSP Cyber Training podcast โ the same clear, practical, no-jargon approach I bring to every engagement. Think of it as proof of how I work, before we ever talk.
