Cybersecurity & Compliance
Your First Step Toward Real Cybersecurity Protection
About Us
Cybersecurity Advice You Can Actually Understand
First Step Technology LLC is a cybersecurity and compliance advisory firm based in Jacksonville, Florida. We work with small businesses, startups, and first-time government contractors who need real answers — not a wall of technical jargon.
How We Help
Security Exposure Assessment
Find the weak spots before someone else does. We check your computers, network, and email for the kinds of gaps that let hackers in — then hand you a clear list of what to fix first.
Cloud Permission Risk Review
Make sure your cloud accounts aren’t more open than you think. If your business runs on AWS or similar cloud platforms, we check who has access to what — and close the doors that shouldn’t be open.
Compliance & Risk Advisory (GRC)
Understand what the government or your industry actually requires — without reading 200 pages of regulations yourself. We translate the rules into a simple checklist you can follow.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk Support
Know who you’re trusting with your data. We help you evaluate the outside companies and software you rely on, so a weak link in someone else’s system doesn’t become your problem.
AI & Automation Risk Consulting
Using AI tools at work? Let’s make sure it’s being used safely. As more businesses adopt AI, we help you understand what access these tools really have — and how to use them without creating new risks.
Cybersecurity Education & Training
Your team is your first line of defense. We offer plain-language training so your staff can spot a phishing email, protect passwords, and understand why security actually matters.
