What does The Cloud Out There LLC do? We provide outsourced cybersecurity consulting to community banks, credit unions, and small-to-midsize businesses. That includes fractional CISO services, cloud security, compliance readiness, and risk assessments — without the cost of a full-time hire.
What is a fractional CISO? A fractional CISO is an experienced security leader who works with your organization on a part-time or retainer basis. You get senior-level security leadership — strategy, policy, board reporting, exam prep — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Who do you typically work with? Primarily community banks, credit unions, and SMBs in the northeastern U.S. If you’re navigating FFIEC exams, GLBA compliance, or just trying to build a credible security program, we’re likely a good fit.
Do you work with organizations outside Pennsylvania? Yes. While we’re based in Sayre, PA, most of our work is deliverable remotely.
What makes you different from a large consulting firm? You work directly with a CISSP- and CCSP-credentialed consultant with nearly 20 years of experience — not a junior analyst. No bloated teams, no unnecessary upsells.
How does pricing work? Engagements vary by scope. Retainer-based fractional CISO services are billed monthly. Project-based work such as risk assessments and compliance gap analyses are typically flat-fee. We’ll discuss options on an initial call.
Where do I start? Book a free 30-minute intro call at calendly.com/cloudoutthere/30min. We’ll talk through your situation and whether we’re a good fit.
Are you familiar with FFIEC and bank regulatory requirements? Yes. Regulatory compliance for financial institutions is a core focus — including FFIEC IT examination prep, GLBA Safeguards Rule compliance, and examiner-ready documentation.
Can you help us prepare for a regulatory exam? Yes. We help community banks and credit unions get their documentation, risk assessments, and policies in order ahead of FDIC, NCUA, and state examiner reviews.
We’re a small business, not a bank. Can you still help? Absolutely. We offer flat-fee security health checks, Microsoft 365 hardening, cyber insurance readiness reviews, and affordable security roadmaps built for SMBs that don’t have a dedicated IT or security team.
