For law firms, CPA firms, medical practices, and other small businesses, it’s no longer optional to prove your cybersecurity posture. Vendors, regulators, and cyber insurance providers (e.g., Coalition Active Cyber Insurance) regularly send out detailed questionnaires to ensure your business is compliant and resilient against modern threats.
Unfortunately, many businesses struggle to answer these questions confidently. That’s where SFV Cloud steps in. We build the policies, protections, and processes that give you the right answers.

- How We Help: We create and maintain your policies, review them regularly, and designate us as your IT security lead.

- Typical Questions: Do you enforce MFA? How are accounts provisioned and reviewed?
- How We Help: We enforce multi-factor authentication, automate account onboarding/offboarding, and regularly audit user access.
