About Assura

Assura is a cybersecurity consulting firm with nearly 20 years of singular focus on information security. From day one, Assura has done only one thing — help organizations protect critical systems, sensitive data, and public trust through practical, experience-driven cybersecurity leadership.Unlike firms that entered cybersecurity as an extension of networking, hardware, or IT services, Assura was built by career cybersecurity practitioners. The leadership team and senior staff have spent decades operating in real environments where security failures have real consequences — particularly across state, local, and education (SLED)organizations.

What They're Building

Assura delivers cybersecurity services across the full lifecycle, including:
  • Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
  • Virtual CISO / Virtual ISO services
  • Policy and program development
  • Compliance assessments and remediation
  • Business impact analysis and contingency planning
  • Defensive and offensive security services
The majority of Assura’s work supports state and local government agencies, many of which lack the resources to hire full-time senior security leadership. Assura acts as an extension of these organizations — providing clear guidance, execution support, and long-term program maturity without unrealistic budgets or over-engineered solutions.

Company Culture

Assura is known for a low-ego, high-trust culture. People stay because:
  • Leadership is hands-on and supportive
  • Collaboration is real, not performative
  • Quality and integrity matter
  • Employees are treated like professionals

The company invests heavily in its people, including 100% employer-paid health benefits and a clear path for long-term growth. Many team members join expecting “just another consulting role” and end up building long careers at Assura.Why People Join Assura.

Professionals are drawn to Assura because:
  • They work alongside experienced cybersecurity practitioners
  • They’re trusted to think, not just execute
  • They can grow into leadership without leaving the company
  • They’re shielded from unnecessary politics and churn
  • The work actually matters — protecting elections, healthcare systems, and public infrastructure
Assura takes cybersecurity seriously — but not itself. The team is plain-spoken, supportive, and deeply committed to doing the right thing for clients and colleagues alike.

Mission Statement

Assura’s approach is grounded in:
  • Practical security over theoretical compliance
  • Empathy for client constraints, especially in public-sector environments
  • Clear communication with executives, boards, and non-technical stakeholders
  • Deep familiarity with NIST frameworks and regulatory environments such as Virginia’s SEC 530
  • Rather than delivering “check-the-box” compliance, Assura focuses on helping clients make smart, defensible decisions that actually reduce risk.
