Cybersecurity
12 services
vCISO — Virtual Chief Information Security Officer
What it is
Fractional CISO leadership providing security strategy, program ownership, board-level reporting, vendor oversight, and compliance program governance.
Problem it solves
Most organizations can't justify a full-time CISO, but the responsibilities don't go away. A vCISO fills the executive security leadership gap — owning the security program, guiding decisions, and providing the accountability that auditors, insurers, and regulators expect to see.
EDR / AV
What it is
Endpoint Detection & Response with antivirus protection across all managed devices.
Problem it solves
Stops malware, ransomware, and fileless attacks before they spread — and provides forensic visibility when something does get in.
SOC — 24/7 Security Operations
What it is
Around-the-clock threat monitoring, alert triage, and incident response by a dedicated security operations team.
Problem it solves
Attackers don't keep business hours. SOC coverage closes the gap between detection and response that leaves organizations exposed overnight and on weekends.
Penetration Testing
What it is
Scheduled and on-demand penetration testing to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Problem it solves
Compliance frameworks (HIPAA, CMMC, FTC Safeguards) require demonstrated testing. Pen testing surfaces real-world exposure that vulnerability scans miss.
DNS Filtering
What it is
Block malicious domains, phishing sites, and inappropriate content at the DNS layer before connections are established.
Problem it solves
Stops phishing and malware delivery at the network edge — before a user clicks or a payload executes.
Advanced Patching
What it is
Automated and managed patch deployment across operating systems, applications, and firmware on all endpoints and servers.
Problem it solves
Unpatched systems are the most common ransomware entry point. Structured patch management closes vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Anti-Spam / DLP / Phishing
What it is
Email security filtering, data loss prevention policies, and phishing simulation and response.
Problem it solves
Email is the primary attack vector. This layer filters inbound threats, prevents sensitive data from leaving the organization, and trains users to recognize social engineering.
Mobile Device Security
What it is
Mobile Device Management (MDM) and security policy enforcement for smartphones and tablets accessing company systems.
Problem it solves
Unmanaged mobile devices are a blind spot. MDM enforces encryption, enables remote wipe, and ensures personal devices don't become a breach vector.
Ringfencing
What it is
Application containment powered by ThreatLocker — restricts what software can do, who it can communicate with, and what resources it can access, even after execution.
Problem it solves
Traditional security stops known threats at the door but can't control what trusted applications do once they're running. Ringfencing prevents applications from being weaponized — stopping lateral movement, credential theft, and ransomware even when the initial execution is allowed.
Dark Web Monitoring
What it is
Continuous monitoring of dark web forums, breach databases, and credential markets for your organization's data.
Problem it solves
Credential exposure often happens months before an attack. Early detection allows password resets and policy changes before compromised credentials are weaponized.
Training & Simulations
What it is
Security awareness training, phishing simulations, and compliance-specific education for all staff.
Problem it solves
Human error causes the majority of breaches. Ongoing training and realistic simulations build a security-aware culture and satisfy regulatory training requirements.
CSRA — Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
What it is
Formal cybersecurity risk assessment identifying threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood, impact, and remediation priorities.
Problem it solves
Required by HIPAA, CMMC, and most cyber insurance applications. Provides the documented baseline that drives compliance program development and budget prioritization.
Infrastructure & Continuity
6 services
vCIO
What it is
Virtual Chief Information Officer — strategic IT leadership, roadmap planning, and technology advisory on a fractional basis.
Problem it solves
Most organizations can't justify a full-time CIO. A vCIO provides executive-level IT strategy, vendor management, and board-level reporting without the overhead.
SASE / SD-WAN
What it is
Secure Access Service Edge architecture combining network security and wide-area networking delivered from the cloud.
Problem it solves
Remote work and multi-location operations create fragmented network perimeters. SASE consolidates security policy enforcement regardless of where users or data are located.
Endpoint & Server Backups
What it is
Automated, encrypted backup of endpoint devices and on-premise servers with versioning, offsite replication, and rapid restore capability.
Problem it solves
Ransomware targeting workstations and servers can destroy work product, databases, and critical business systems. Endpoint and server backups ensure full recovery without ransom payment — including bare-metal restores for servers when needed.
Tenant Backups
What it is
Comprehensive backup of Microsoft 365 and cloud tenant data including email, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive.
Problem it solves
Microsoft does not guarantee data recovery from user error, ransomware, or account compromise. Tenant backups close this gap and satisfy regulatory data retention requirements.
Disaster Recovery
What it is
Documented and tested disaster recovery planning, including business continuity procedures and recovery time objectives.
Problem it solves
Organizations without a tested DR plan face extended downtime after incidents. A structured plan with defined RTO/RPO targets limits operational and financial impact.
Network Management (Firewalls)
What it is
Managed firewall configuration, monitoring, and maintenance with next-generation threat inspection.
Problem it solves
Misconfigured firewalls are a leading cause of breach. Managed network security ensures rules are current, traffic is inspected, and changes are documented.
Compliance
6 services
HIPAA Compliance Program
What it is
Full HIPAA Security Rule compliance program including risk assessments, policy documentation, training, and audit readiness.
Problem it solves
Healthcare organizations face significant fines and reputational damage from HIPAA violations. A structured compliance program provides demonstrable, defensible safeguards.
ITAR Compliance Support
What it is
Technical and administrative controls to support International Traffic in Arms Regulations compliance for defense-adjacent organizations.
Problem it solves
ITAR violations carry criminal penalties. Proper data handling, access controls, and export controls documentation reduce exposure for organizations handling controlled technical data.
CMMC Level 1 & Level 2
What it is
End-to-end CMMC compliance program including gap assessment, remediation, SSP/POA&M development, SPRS submission, and C3PAO readiness.
Problem it solves
CMMC compliance is a contract requirement for DoD contractors. Without it, organizations cannot bid on or hold applicable contracts. NorthStar builds the documented controls required for assessment.
NIST SP 800-171
What it is
Implementation of the 110 security practices required by NIST SP 800-171 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information.
Problem it solves
NIST 800-171 is the technical foundation of CMMC Level 2. Each of the 110 controls must be implemented, documented, and evidenced for a passing assessment.
FTC Safeguards Rule
What it is
Comprehensive compliance program for non-bank financial institutions required to comply with the FTC Safeguards Rule under GLBA.
Problem it solves
FTC enforcement is active and penalties are significant. Accounting firms, RIAs, auto dealers, and other covered entities need a documented, implemented security program to comply.
Cyber Insurance Readiness
What it is
Technical control implementation and documentation to qualify for — and maintain — cyber insurance coverage.
Problem it solves
Insurers deny claims when stated controls weren't in place. Cyber insurance readiness ensures the controls on your application are actually implemented and evidenced.
Part 2
Propel
AI Automation · Technology Modernization · Strategic Projects
The tools that turn a secure, compliant organization into a faster, more competitive one.
AI & Automation
3 services
vCAIO — Virtual Chief AI Officer
What it is
Fractional Chief AI Officer providing AI readiness assessment, governance framework development, strategic roadmap, and ongoing AI program leadership aligned to the organization's regulatory environment.
Problem it solves
Unstructured AI adoption creates compliance exposure, data leakage risk, and operational liability. A vCAIO provides the executive accountability and strategic direction to deploy AI safely, accountably, and in a way that delivers measurable business value.
AI Agents (NemoClaw Platform)
What it is
Private-infrastructure AI agents for workflow automation — including billing review, intake, document processing, client communications, and custom use cases.
Problem it solves
Repetitive high-volume tasks consume expensive professional time. AI agents handle structured workflows at scale, on private infrastructure, without sending client data to public AI platforms.
Cybersecurity-Ready AI Deployment
What it is
Security architecture review and hardening for AI systems — including data isolation, access controls, logging, and incident response procedures.
Problem it solves
AI systems introduce new attack surfaces and data exposure risks. Cybersecurity-first deployment ensures AI tools don't become the weakest link in a compliant environment.
Projects
3 services
Infrastructure Rebuilds
What it is
Full assessment and rebuild of aging or non-compliant IT infrastructure — servers, networking, identity, and cloud architecture.
Problem it solves
Legacy infrastructure accumulates technical debt, compliance gaps, and security vulnerabilities. A structured rebuild resets the environment to a documented, supportable baseline.
Migrations
What it is
Planned migration of systems, data, and workloads across platforms — including on-premise to cloud, Microsoft 365 tenants, and GCC/GCC High transitions.
Problem it solves
Unplanned or rushed migrations cause data loss, downtime, and security gaps. NorthStar migrations are scoped, tested, and executed with rollback plans and zero data loss objectives.
GCC / GCC High Migration
What it is
Migration from commercial Microsoft 365 to Government Community Cloud environments required for DoD contractors handling CUI or ITAR-controlled data.
Problem it solves
Commercial M365 is not authorized for CUI. Contractors using it out of compliance risk contract termination. A managed GCC High migration resolves the compliance gap without disrupting operations.
