Cybersecurity Services for Avertium

Avertium exists because a private equity firm bought three regional security companies in 2019 and put them together. Terra Verde in Phoenix, TruShield in Reston and Sword and Shield in Knoxville each arrived with their own clients, their own methodology and their own idea of what good looks like.

Assembling a security business that way is faster than building one and it front-loads a specific difficulty. Three firms means three assessment methodologies, three sets of report templates, three definitions of what a finding is and how it gets rated. Customers notice this before management does, because a customer who was with Terra Verde and a customer who was with Sword and Shield compare notes at a conference and discover they are buying different things from the same company.

CWS delivers to a single documented standard, which for a business still consolidating is worth more than additional capacity. The same methodology and the same evidence pack regardless of which legacy practice owns the relationship. It closes the gap between three inherited ways of working and one that can be described to a customer in a sentence.
