From remote IT support in Orange County to full business IT support services, we make technology simple, secure, and cost-effective.
Most businesses don't need more security tools — they need a clearer picture of where they're actually exposed and a credible plan to close those gaps. That's the work of cyber security consulting in Orange County. Burgi Technologies provides strategic, advisory-level security consulting engagements for businesses that need expert guidance on risk, compliance, architecture, and incident readiness — not just another vendor selling monitoring subscriptions.
We carry a 5.0-star rating across 60+ client reviews and back every consulting engagement with our 100% happiness guarantee. Our consultants have worked across healthcare, financial services, automotive, legal, and professional services sectors throughout Southern California.
The distinction matters — and confusing the two leads businesses to buy the wrong service for their actual need.
Managed security services are ongoing, operational, and technology-driven. A managed security provider monitors your environment 24/7, deploys and manages security tools (firewalls, EDR, SIEM), and responds to threats in real time. It's infrastructure management with a security focus. Burgi Technologies offers this through our managed cybersecurity services program.
Cybersecurity consulting is strategic, advisory, and engagement-based. A consultant is not running your tools — they're answering the harder questions: Where are you most exposed? Are your controls actually working? What would a breach cost you, and what's the right level of investment to reduce that risk? Does your security posture meet your regulatory requirements? What would you do if an attacker is already inside your network?
Many businesses need both. Others need consulting first to establish a defensible security strategy before investing in managed services. Our consultants help you determine the right sequencing and investment level for your specific risk profile.
A structured evaluation of your current security posture against a recognized framework — typically NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or ISO 27001. We identify gaps between your current state and a defensible baseline, quantify risk exposure in business terms, and prioritize remediation by impact and feasibility. Deliverables include a written risk register, gap analysis, and a prioritized remediation roadmap with effort and cost estimates.
A cybersecurity assessment is typically the right starting point for any organization that hasn't formally evaluated its security posture in the past two years, has undergone significant infrastructure changes, or is preparing for regulatory audit.
Penetration testing (pen testing) is authorized, simulated attack activity designed to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Our consultants conduct:
Every penetration test concludes with a written report covering all findings, their severity, evidence of exploitation, and concrete remediation guidance. We also provide an executive summary suitable for board-level and non-technical audiences.
Regulatory compliance is not optional for many Orange County businesses. We conduct readiness assessments and gap analyses against the frameworks most relevant to our clients' industries:
Our compliance audits identify what you currently satisfy, what you don't, and the specific technical and policy changes required to achieve compliance. See our dedicated IT compliance audit services page for full details on compliance work.
Most businesses that experience a serious security incident — ransomware, data breach, business email compromise — suffer more damage than necessary because they had no plan in place before the event. Incident response planning is the work of building that plan while you're not under attack.
We work with your leadership team to develop a practical incident response plan that covers:
We can also facilitate tabletop exercises — structured walkthroughs of realistic attack scenarios that test your team's response without a real incident. These exercises routinely reveal gaps that written plans miss.
A security architecture review examines whether your existing technology stack and network design are capable of detecting, containing, and recovering from the threats most relevant to your business. We evaluate:
The output is a written architecture assessment with specific, actionable recommendations — not a generic checklist. For ongoing vulnerability identification, our vulnerability management program provides continuous scanning and prioritized remediation tracking after the initial architecture review.
We don't parachute in with a one-size-fits-all questionnaire. Our consulting methodology is built around your specific business context, risk tolerance, and operational constraints.
Every engagement begins with a structured scoping call to understand your business, the compliance and regulatory environment you operate in, your existing security investments, your primary concerns, and the outcomes you need from the engagement. We document the scope in writing and get your sign-off before beginning work.
We conduct the agreed assessment activities — whether that's reviewing documentation and configurations, running technical testing tools, conducting stakeholder interviews, or performing hands-on penetration testing. We work efficiently and minimize disruption to your operations.
Raw findings are worthless without context. We analyze results, identify root causes (not just symptoms), map findings to business risk, and develop prioritized remediation recommendations with realistic effort estimates. Every finding includes a clear explanation of the risk it represents and specific remediation guidance — not vague suggestions.
Every engagement concludes with formal deliverables: a comprehensive written technical report, an executive summary suitable for non-technical leadership, and a remediation roadmap with prioritized action items. We present findings directly to your leadership team, answer questions, and ensure the findings are actionable — not just filed away.
The question of which service fits your situation comes up often. Here's a practical guide:
You need a cybersecurity consultant if:
You need managed security services if:
Many of our clients begin with a consulting engagement — typically a risk assessment or security architecture review — then transition to our managed cybersecurity services to execute the remediation roadmap and maintain their improved posture ongoing. Our network security audit service is a popular entry point for businesses that want to start with a focused technical evaluation of their network security controls.
HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to conduct formal risk analyses — not just implement a checklist of controls. Our healthcare consulting engagements satisfy the HIPAA Security Rule's risk analysis requirement and produce documentation suitable for OCR review in the event of an audit or breach investigation.
Financial firms face overlapping regulatory requirements from state regulators, federal agencies, and industry bodies. We help financial services firms map their security programs against applicable requirements and build defensible compliance documentation.
Law firms handle client confidential information under attorney-client privilege and are increasingly targeted by adversaries seeking to access that information. A security architecture review and penetration test gives managing partners an accurate picture of their exposure before a breach makes the picture obvious.
CMMC compliance is mandatory for DoD contractors and is driving significant security investment across Southern California's defense supply chain. We guide manufacturers through CMMC readiness assessments and help them understand the gap between their current posture and the level required for their contracts.
Consulting engagements are scoped and priced based on the specific assessment type, the size and complexity of your environment, and the depth of testing required. Most small-to-midsize business engagements range from a few thousand dollars for a focused assessment to larger investments for comprehensive risk assessments with penetration testing. We provide a fixed-fee proposal after scoping — no surprises on the final invoice.
A focused risk assessment for a typical SMB typically takes two to four weeks from kickoff to final report delivery. Penetration testing engagements take one to three weeks of active testing, plus reporting time. Compliance audit readiness assessments vary based on the framework and environment size. We always provide a timeline in our proposal so you can plan for deliverable dates.
Penetration tests are scoped and scheduled to minimize operational disruption. We coordinate test windows with your IT team, and all testing is authorized in writing before it begins. Risk assessments and architecture reviews involve interviews, document review, and configuration analysis — activities with no operational impact. We are experienced working within business hours and operational constraints that matter to your team.
You receive written deliverables, a remediation roadmap, and a presentation of findings. Many clients engage Burgi Technologies to execute remediation — whether that means implementing specific technical controls, moving to managed security services, or a combination. We're available for follow-up questions and re-assessment after remediation to verify that identified gaps have been closed. The relationship doesn't end with report delivery.
Burgi Technologies brings practical, experienced security consulting services to Orange County businesses that need honest answers about their security posture — not a sales pitch for more tools. Our 5.0-star rating from 60+ clients reflects our commitment to clear communication, thorough work, and actionable results. Every engagement is backed by our 100% happiness guarantee.
