Capital Cyber

What Capital Cyber does

Capital Cyber is a privately held cybersecurity firm headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia with a secondary office in Sheridan, Wyoming. Founded in 2021 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company delivers managed cybersecurity services, managed IT services, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and regulatory compliance support, with vertical specialization in dental practices and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), CPA and financial-services firms, and government contractors in the Defense Industrial Base. The portfolio is structured around productized service tiers — SMB1001 Bronze through Diamond for general SMBs and CMMC Levels 1 through 3 (including a 'CISO in a Box' premium tier) for defense contractors — alongside vCSO services, NIST Gap Assessments, Cyber Insurance Assessments, and FAIR-framework quantitative risk analysis. Customer relationships range from sub-$10,000 entry-level compliance packages to multi-year enterprise contracts at $50,000-$250,000+, with revenue mechanics anchored on recurring managed-service subscriptions supplemented by project-based professional services.

The company operates a 24/7 SOC and delivers its services through an integrated third-party technology stack — Microsoft 365 GCC High, Microsoft Defender, Huntress EDR, Cisco Umbrella, NinjaOne, Keepit, and Meraki hardware — rather than proprietary infrastructure. Self-service assessment tools (Cyber Score), monthly thought-leadership publications (CMMC Intelligence Report), downloadable guides, and a structured referral program support a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion executed through phone consultations, website contact forms, and dedicated assessment landing pages. Geographic reach currently spans seven U.S. states — Virginia, Wyoming, Arizona, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York — with the firm founder-led and motivated by a personal ransomware experience that anchors its 'Security Obsessed. Service Driven.' brand positioning.

Core offering

Capital Cyber is a cybersecurity firm providing managed cybersecurity services, CMMC compliance services, managed IT services, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, NIST gap assessments, and vCSO services. The firm specializes in serving dental practices, DSOs, CPA firms, government contractors, and small-to-medium businesses, offering 24/7 SOC monitoring, ransomware protection, HIPAA and FTC Safeguards Rule compliance, and SMB1001 tiered cybersecurity certification programs.

Product overview

Capital Cyber is a cybersecurity firm providing IT services (not an IT company providing cybersecurity). Its portfolio is organized around managed cybersecurity and managed IT as the core service delivery engine, supplemented by specialized compliance, assessment, certification, and intelligence products. The core service stack includes Managed Cybersecurity Services (24/7 SOC monitoring), CMMC Compliance Services (all three levels), Managed Vulnerability Assessment, Managed Compliance Services, Penetration Testing, Managed IT Services, NIST Gap Assessment, Cyber Insurance Assessments, and vCSO Services. Above this sits a layer of specialized assessment and certification products: Cyber Score (automated cyber posture scoring), SMB1001 Certification in five tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond — each adding progressively more controls including MFA, 24/7 SOC, vCISO, red-team exercises, and third-party risk management), CMMC Intelligence Report (monthly DIB threat and compliance intelligence), Cybersecurity Guide, White Paper, Executive Guide, FAIR Risk Analysis, and Digital Asset Register. The SMB1001 certification tiers progressively build on each other: Bronze provides foundational controls (antivirus, firewall, patching, backup); Silver adds identity and email/web defenses (MFA, password manager, Huntress EDR, Cisco Umbrella); Gold introduces 24/7 SOC monitoring and vCISO leadership; Platinum adds continuous detection and insurance-aligned governance; Diamond adds adversary simulation and supply-chain oversight.
