  • Cybersecurity

Echelon Risk + Cyber is a cybersecurity firm providing managed security, incident response and compliance advisory as a practice separate from IT. Its guiding argument is that cybersecurity oversight should sit apart from day-to-day IT operations, for objectivity and to reduce liability, so it acts as a dedicated security partner rather than another hat on the help desk. It runs around-the-clock managed security services and steps in when a generalist provider falls short, and it pairs that with advisory work: preparing a company for the audits and frameworks it has to meet, and standing in as outside security leadership. It works in an industry-informed way, tailoring to the threats and rules of fields like healthcare and manufacturing. For a buyer, Echelon is a specialist security firm that both runs protection and guides the program.

Best for

  • Companies that want cybersecurity run as its own function, independent of the team or provider that handles general IT.
  • Organizations that need 24/7 managed security and expert incident response but cannot staff a security operations center.
  • Businesses working toward a framework or attestation, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC 2.0 or FedRAMP, that need help getting and staying compliant.
  • Firms in regulated industries that want security shaped around their specific threats and obligations.

A company that only wants a security tool to run itself, with no outside team or advisory, is buying a different kind of product than Echelon offers.

What they offer

Managed Security. A managed security services practice delivering continuous, around-the-clock protection, expert response and security operations aligned to the business, deliberately kept separate from IT operations. Echelon is a CrowdStrike partner and can run the monitoring and response for organizations that lack their own security team.

Compliance and vCISO. Advisory and compliance work to prepare for and maintain frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP, plus AI governance and business continuity and disaster recovery planning, with outside security leadership where a company needs it.

Good to know

  • Echelon's stance is that security oversight belongs apart from IT. If your IT provider also handles your security today, that separation is the change it is proposing, so weigh it deliberately.
  • Compliance work is preparation and guidance toward a framework, not the certification itself, which comes from an accredited assessor. Confirm what Echelon owns versus what the auditor does.
  • Product and framework names here are the company's own material.

How buying works
