What Securion does

Securion is a privately-held, vendor-neutral information security consultancy headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with a secondary Chicago office. Founded in 2014 through the merger of two veteran security engineering and architecture consultancies, the firm draws on a claimed combined 26 years of consulting experience at large global organizations. It targets Fortune-tier enterprises across financial services, insurance, retail, and other regulated industries, addressing security challenges ranging from talent shortages to sophisticated multi-vector threats. The company explicitly avoids reselling security products, positioning itself as an independent advisor rather than a value-added reseller.

Securion's service portfolio spans 14+ offerings organized across security domains and delivery models. Technical services include penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, network security, cloud security (with Azure and AWS expertise), application security, endpoint and mobile security, SIEM and security data analytics, identity and access management, directory services, and security assessments. Digital risk monitoring extends coverage across the web, deep web, dark web, forums, blogs, and social media for threats including account impersonations, data leaks, phishing, executive and location risks, and intellectual property theft. Delivery models combine project-based consulting, ongoing managed services (SIEM, digital risk monitoring, compliance automation), and staff augmentation that embeds Securion consultants inside client security teams.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model with custom project-based or retainer engagements quoted per engagement, typically structured as multi-year contracts with enterprise clients. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, initiated through website contact forms and consultation requests, supported by content marketing via a Resource Hub, whitepapers, email newsletters, and LinkedIn. With 101-250 employees and named Fortune 100/500 customers, Securion functions as a boutique-to-mid-sized enterprise security consultancy rather than a scaled software or managed security services platform.
