No fluff. No vendor pitch. Just two people who've been in the room when things go wrong — and built a firm around making sure they don't.
Most companies our clients' size are stuck between two bad options: hire a full-time security leader they can't afford, or keep hoping their internal IT team or MSP will figure it out. Neither works. And when things go wrong — a breach, a failed audit, a deal lost to a security questionnaire — the cost is never just money.
TAC exists to close that gap. We come in as a fractional CISO and strategic security partner — working alongside the internal IT team or MSP that's already there, not around them. We build real security programs, not compliance theater. We give leadership a clear picture of where things stand, what needs to change, and what it costs to do it right.
We built this firm around a simple truth: security done right takes real investment — in the right tools, the right people, and the right strategy.
"Our job isn't to impress you with jargon. It's to make sure you can actually sleep at night."
These aren't wall decorations. They're how we make decisions, write proposals, and have hard conversations with clients.
Every word earns its place. Security is already complicated — your partner should make it less so, not more. We say what we mean and mean what we say.
We give you a recommendation, not a menu of options with no guidance. When there's a right answer, we tell you what it is. You hired us to lead, not to hedge.
We don't push tools for margins or recommend complexity for its own sake. The right answer for you is the right answer, full stop. Your success is how we measure ours.
TAC is a two-founder firm. Adam brings the technical depth. Cassie brings the clarity and relationships. Together, they cover the full picture — and they work every engagement.
With over 25 years in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, Adam serves as the fractional CISO for TAC's clients. He builds security programs that are proactive, scalable, and actually aligned with how the business operates — not theoretical frameworks designed to impress auditors.
When you work with TAC, you get Adam in your corner. He sees what internal teams miss, asks the questions no one else is asking, and designs strategies that hold up past the audit.
Cassie leads client relationships, business development, and growth strategy at TAC. Her strength is in helping founders and executives stay focused on their vision while her team handles the complexity of security and compliance.
She's direct, fast-moving, and deeply committed to making sure every client engagement is rooted in clarity and trust — not performance or upselling. If something isn't working, she'll tell you. She expects the same in return.
Most of our clients have internal IT staff or a managed service provider who are good at what they do. The problem isn't that they don't care about security — it's that security isn't their primary job, they're already stretched thin, and no one is looking at the full picture from the outside.
That's exactly what TAC does. We come in as a strategic layer on top of what already exists — giving your team the direction, tools, and oversight they need without replacing or undermining them. We handle the security leadership gap. Your internal IT team or MSP keeps running the day-to-day.
It's a partnership, not a takeover. And that's how it should be.
We'll tell you if we're the right partner for where you are right now. If we're not, we'll point you in the right direction.
