Rigorous
We verify what is actually true. We assess the controls in the environment, document the evidence we find, and distinguish between what is working, what needs attention, and what needs to be resolved. Assumptions do not become findings.
About Prometheus
Ask the hard questions before an incident does.
Prometheus Consulting brings a practical, incident-informed approach to security readiness. We verify what is working, resolve the gaps, and document the results so our clients can get back to business with confidence.
Verify what is true while there is still time to act.
Real-world informed
Incident questions are readiness questions.
After an incident, a policy statement or dashboard summary is not enough. The useful questions are direct and specific.
- Was MFA actually enforced?
- Was every endpoint actually protected?
- Do the necessary logs exist?
- Can the backup actually restore?
- Who had privileged access?
- What evidence can support each answer?
What guides the work
Our values.
These principles guide the full readiness lifecycle—from understanding what is true to correcting gaps, sustaining the controls, and maintaining evidence of the result.
Accountable
Our work should be understandable and defensible. From the initial assessment through remediation and ongoing management, we document what we found, what changed, and how the result was verified. When a client, broker, insurer, or reviewer asks, there is a clear record behind the answer.
Prepared
Readiness is more than getting through today’s review. We look at whether critical controls can continue doing their job when people leave, devices change, configurations drift, or something goes wrong. We help clients build security they can operate, recover from, and demonstrate when it matters.
Grounded
We connect real technical controls to the requirements our clients actually face, including NIST CSF, CIS Controls, HIPAA safeguards, cyber-insurance requirements, and other applicable standards. The goal is not compliance theater. It is knowing what is in place, what needs to change, and what evidence supports it.
Relentless
Finding a gap is not where the work ends. We help close it, verify the resolution, and, when we are responsible for the ongoing environment, keep the control working. We do not confuse checking a box with solving the underlying problem.
The operating model
Assess. Resolve. Manage. Prove.
Prometheus asks the difficult questions before a client is dealing with an incident, audit, renewal, regulator, or security questionnaire.
Assess
Verify the controls that matter and document what is actually true.
Resolve
Turn findings into prioritized remediation and verify the change.
Manage
Keep agreed controls operating as people, devices, and systems change.
Prove
Maintain useful evidence, status reporting, recurring review, and exception tracking.
