Independent security & tech consulting · Houston, TX
We help small businesses secure their operations, train staff on safe AI adoption, and unlock the full power of the software they already pay for.
Two of those accounts belong to staff who approve vendor payments, the most common target in invoice-fraud emails.
Example of how findings read in our reports: the problem, why it matters, and the fix, in plain English.
What we do
Security
Practical threat analysis, vulnerability discovery, compliance gap checks, and plain-English remediation roadmaps without fearmongering.
Spend
Auditing your current subscriptions, eliminating redundant software, and optimizing vendor spend.
AI
Teaching your staff safe, high-ROI generative AI workflows with established guardrails for proprietary data.
Enablement
Coaching your team to get full value from the tools you already license: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM, and cloud suites.
Why FAST Technologies?
We don't sell boxes or monthly contracts. Our only product is objective advice.
Your people are your best defense. We teach in plain English, not jargon.
Every recommendation is tied to measurable savings, time, or reduced risk.
Hidden cost estimator
Slide to your team size for a ballpark of unused software spend and security risk exposure.
Illustrative estimate based on typical small-business averages: about $29 per employee per month in unused or duplicate software seats, plus an annualized share of the cost of a phishing or account-takeover incident. Your assessment gives you real numbers.
Common questions
No. We don't resell hardware, software licenses, or monthly managed services, and we don't take referral fees from vendors. If you need an MSP, we can help you write the requirements and compare proposals.
Yes, because guardrails come first. Before any hands-on work we agree which AI tools are approved, which kinds of data may go into them, and which business settings to switch on. All exercises use sample data, never your client files.
For most teams under 50 people, about two to three weeks from kickoff to a written roadmap. Larger or multi-site businesses take longer, and we give you a firm timeline on the first call.

Veteran-Owned BusinessCISSP
The CISSP is one of the most demanding certifications in information security. It requires years of verified, paid experience across security domains, a rigorous exam, and ongoing continuing education. Combined with a master's degree in cybersecurity, two decades of hands-on IT work across many industries, and the discipline of military service, that means your business gets the same depth of expertise large companies pay for, without the enterprise price tag or the jargon.
cyberprotection.consulting is a veteran-owned trading brand of FAST Technologies, based in Houston, Texas, and serving small businesses nationwide, remotely and on site.
Most small businesses get technology advice from someone who also sells them something: hardware, a managed services contract, or another software subscription. We don't. Our only product is objective advice, so our recommendations often mean spending less, not more.
We work with owners and office managers who want their business to be secure and efficient, and who want it explained in plain English.
