Our Process

Step 1: Discovery Conversation

A complimentary, no-pressure conversation to explore your business, align on goals, and ensure the right fit.

How We Work

At Claymore Cybersecurity, we believe successful engagements start with alignment—not assumptions. That’s why every client relationship begins with a Discovery Conversation. This is the first step in our proven consulting approach, focused on listening, understanding, and setting the stage for meaningful progress.

What This Conversation Covers

✔️ Understanding your business model and unique goals

✔️ Discussing existing pain points, risks, or urgent challenges

✔️ Identifying key stakeholders, systems, and requirements

✔️ Answering your questions about our services and expertise

✔️ Ensuring mutual fit before moving forward

Who It’s For

➡️ Startups and SMBs looking for tailored cybersecurity support

➡️ Technical founders or leaders preparing for scale or audits

➡️ Any business unsure where to begin with security

Why It’s Valuable

This session is your opportunity to get expert input with no pressure or obligation. We listen first—then offer clear next steps or recommendations. Whether you choose to engage further or not, you’ll walk away with better clarity on where cybersecurity fits into your business.

Cost

💬 This conversation is always free.

We believe in earning trust, not demanding commitment.

What You’ll Walk Away With

✔️ A clearer picture of how security supports your growth

✔️ Confidence in what your next steps might look like

✔️ A sense of whether we’re the right partner for your journey

Step 2: What comes next

What comes next is shaped by your priorities, your pace, and your unique security journey.

Following the Discovery Conversation

No two organizations are the same—and neither are their cybersecurity needs. After our initial discussion, we’ll provide clear, customized recommendations for how we can best support you.

Whether you’re looking to establish a security foundation, prepare for a funding round, or get hands-on help addressing risks, our approach is designed to meet you where you are.

What This Phase Might Include

🔍 Rapid Security Assessment

Get a quick but in-depth look at your security posture, maturity, and key gaps—with actionable insights and a prioritized roadmap.

🛡 Fractional CISO Support

Engage with a senior security advisor to guide strategy, respond to stakeholder needs, and grow your security capabilities over time.

🗂 Custom Advisory Support

Need something different? Whether it’s policy development, vendor risk review, or team training—we can shape a scope that fits.

How It Works

✔️ We summarize key takeaways from the Discovery Conversation

✔️ You receive one or more tailored service proposals (or suggestions)

✔️ We move forward only when there’s a clear fit, budget, and timeline

No Pressure. Just Progress.

Step 2 is about providing clarity and choice, not locking you into a fixed path. If we’re not the right partner—we’ll say so. If you need more time—we’ll be here when you’re ready.
