Connect Today!Reduce your cyber risk β before an attacker or an examiner finds it first.
We help organizations and community banks build practical security and AI governance programs β and the evidence to prove they work. People plus the right technology, minus the jargon.
AI Governance & Third-Party Risk β built for community banks.
AI is now a standing topic in every OCC and Federal Reserve exam, judged through the model-risk and third-party-risk rules examiners already use. Most smaller banks have no program and nothing to hand the examiner. We fix that β fast, and right-sized for lean teams.
Why now: In 2026, a community bank had to disclose a breach to the SEC after an employee pasted customer Social Security numbers into an unauthorized AI app. No policy. No vendor review. No evidence of oversight. It could have been any small bank.
What you walk away with
A working AI governance program tailored to your bank β not a generic template pack.
- AI governance policy + board & committee oversight
- AI use-case & vendor inventory (incl. AI inside your core)
- AI risk assessment + vendor due-diligence questionnaire
- The examiner crosswalk β mapped control-by-control to CRI, NIST AI RMF & model-risk guidance
Security, risk, and compliance β made practical.
From a one-time assessment to ongoing security leadership, we help organizations identify, manage, and reduce cyber risk β across the frameworks that matter to your business.

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 β 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 β 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 β 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.
