Cybersecurity and data protection are now national security issues impacting all U.S. businesses, no matter the size. China and other nation-states, as well as organized and disorganized criminals, are stealing intellectual capital, personal and business information, and creating havoc in business environments. No one is immune, and approximately 60% of small businesses that are hacked never recover. It is time to take this seriously and protect everything valuable to us and our nation. We are at war, act like it.
RightExposure provides professional consultation to both the public and private sector, big and small businesses.
Organizations like America’s Small Business Development Centers depend on mature guidance to help promote the protection of small businesses in the United States and our Territories. Private industry depends on us to help them navigate federal and state governments so their value is heard.

We are very excited to support small businesses in the United States and our territories witnessed by the adoption of our work to embodied in North Star CMM by America’s SBDC, a nonprofit funded by the SBA with nearly 4,000 business advisors in 1,000 locations.
North Star CMM provides a clear direction to follow, a North Star. North Star CMM utilizes the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

Large Organizations are Small Organizations Too
Large public and private organizations are comprised of big, medium and small organizational components. Sharing a common understanding and unified messaging is critical to delivering business/mission value and security.
Small and mid-size businesses are the largest group of employers. Thinking of large organizations separately from this group ignores very important opportunities to increase business value and security because they are all connected and interdependent.
