Bryghtpath LLC

What Bryghtpath LLC does

Bryghtpath LLC is a Saint Paul, Minnesota-based management consulting firm founded in 2007 that helps large enterprises, federal agencies, healthcare systems, and nonprofits build, assess, and run business continuity and crisis management programs. Its practice spans business continuity, crisis management, IT disaster recovery, cyber crisis exercises, crisis communications, and intelligence/global security consulting. The firm is led by Principal & CEO Bryan Strawser, a 25-year veteran who spent 21 years leading corporate security and resilience at Target Corporation, and includes practitioners such as Jamie Anderson (18 years at Target in IT DR/BC) and Bray Wheeler (crisis exercises). The team is small (1-10 employees) and founder-anchored, with no disclosed external capital.

Bryghtpath's commercial offering rests on three layers. The first is professional services delivered via direct enterprise engagement, including Resilience as a Service and Business Continuity as a Service managed services where the firm operates the client's resilience program day-to-day, plus consulting & advisory engagements, custom tabletop and crisis simulations (e.g., a 2.5-day ransomware simulation with 60+ participants), and facilitated workshops. The second is a stack of proprietary frameworks and assessment tools — Resilience Operating Model, Resiliency Diagnosis, and standards-mapped Maturity Models (ISO 22301, ISO 22361, ISO 27031, FFIEC, NIST 800-53, ASIS) — that are trademarked and embedded in engagements. The third is a productized digital revenue stream sold through bryghtpath.com and Amazon Kindle, including the Crisis Playbook suite of pre-built crisis plans ($299.99 to $12,999.99), Exercise in a Box and Exercise in a Day simulations, plan templates, job descriptions, and authored books ("The Continuity Code," "From Panic to Poise," "Crisis Communications 101").

The go-to-market combines a sales-led enterprise motion targeting Fortune 100 buyers with a content-led demand generation engine spanning a 329+ episode "Managing Uncertainty" podcast, weekly blog and whitepapers, free introductory email courses, webinars, a practitioner Facebook Group, a CSOonline.com column, and a Senior Fellow appointment at George Washington University's Center for Cyber and Homeland Security. Pricing for consulting and managed services is quote-based and undisclosed, while digital products carry transparent tiered pricing from $44.95 ebooks to $12,999.99 full custom bundles. Customer concentration is high: all named case studies are large enterprises (healthcare technology, major health insurer, global QSR, regional healthcare system), and the firm does not disclose mid-market or SMB service tiers.
