What FRSecure LLC does

FRSecure LLC is a privately held, US-based (Minnetonka) full-service information security consultancy operating as an LLC with 51-100 employees, founded in 2008 under the mission to "fix the broken industry." The firm sells product-agnostic professional security services across three practice areas: Build Your Security Program (Virtual CISO, Risk Assessment, Gap Assessment, Cloud Security Assessment, Tabletop Exercises, Vendor Risk Management, Vulnerability Management), Attack Simulation (Penetration Testing, Purple Team, Social Engineering, Vulnerability Scanning), and On-Demand Security Experts (Incident Response, PCI DSS QSA, Policy Coaching). It also provides compliance preparation for CMMC, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, and operates a proprietary threat intelligence initiative called Project Hyphae.

The company's underlying technical asset is a Universal Risk Assessment Methodology built internally on the NIST framework that maps to every major industry standard and extends beyond simple technical controls. Delivery is entirely human-led, with no software or SaaS product and no third-party hardware/software resale, supported by an award-winning technical team that competes at DEFCON and a content engine (Unsecurity podcast, Hacks & Hops event, CISSP Mentor Program, free resource library of policy templates, IR playbooks, ransomware assessment, and PCI flowcharts).

FRSecure operates a sales-led, direct-engagement GTM targeting mid-market and upper mid-market organizations in verticals such as defense contracting (CMMC), healthcare (HIPAA), payment processing (PCI DSS), and service organizations (SOC 2). Pricing is quote-based per engagement; disclosed pricing signals include CMMC assessments at $50,000-$70,000 and full CMMC implementations exceeding six figures, with multi-year contract structures on certification work. The company does not publish revenue or headcount trends and has no disclosed outside investors or M&A activity.
