Echelon Risk + Cyber

Echelon is a full-spectrum cybersecurity firm covering strategy, compliance, offensive testing, and managed defense under one roof. Their vCISO practice builds the security roadmap, their GRC team manages compliance, their pen testers validate defenses, and their 24/7 SOC operationalizes monitoring — all coordinated as one integrated program rather than siloed services.

Governance, Risk and Compliance as a Service delivers ongoing compliance program management rather than one-time assessments. Echelon supports HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FFIEC CAT, GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, SEC cyber materiality rules, Hi-Trust, and CIS controls — providing gap assessments, remediation roadmaps, vendor risk management, and ongoing monitoring.

Echelon has documented expertise in Healthcare, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Technology, Energy, Government and Defense, and Retail. Their case studies include Montauk Renewables (90% cyber risk reduction) and Detroit Pistons (built robust security framework).
