Fractional CISO Services for Sioux Falls Businesses
Board-level security leadership. Compliance expertise. Without the full-time hire.
Your Sioux Falls business is growing. So is your regulatory exposure.
Whether you're a healthcare practice navigating HIPAA, a financial institution under GLBA scrutiny, or a defense-aligned contractor preparing for CMMC. You need a CISO. What you don't need is the $200K+ salary that comes with one.
CyberCloak's Fractional CISO gives you CISSP-certified, senior security leadership starting at $2,000/mo.
CISSP-Certified Leadership When It Matters Most
Fractional CISO engagements are led by Steve Groetken, CISSP, a former Information Security Officer who built a NIST SP 800-53 compliance program for a $1.6B DoD fintech platform. That's the expertise you get, at a fraction of the cost.
You save 60-80% compared to hiring a full-time CISO.
You get started in days, not months.
Compliance Coverage Built for South Dakota's Regulated Industries
Sioux Falls has a high concentration of financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and insurance businesses, all operating under strict regulatory requirements. We work in these frameworks daily:
HIPAA
For healthcare practices, clinics, and medical networks
GLBA / FFIEC
For banks, credit unions, and fintech platforms
CMMC
For defense-aligned contractors and government suppliers
NIST / SOC 2
For technology companies and SaaS platforms
We don't hand you a 200-page gap analysis and disappear. We translate compliance requirements into a practical roadmap your organization can actually execute.
What Your Fractional CISO Actually Does
This isn't consulting. It's operational security leadership, on your schedule and in your budget.

- ✅ Board & Executive Reporting: Clear, non-technical summaries your leadership can act on

Steve's firm focuses on the organizations that need it most: healthcare providers, law firms, and companies with government contracts, where the stakes around data security and compliance aren't optional. HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR. These aren't checkbox exercises in his hands. They're operational realities; his team actually helps clients navigate without overwhelming them. What impressed me most about working alongside him was how he approached the engagement, tailored to what the client actually needed, not a one-size-fits-all solution dropped on a small business that didn't have the internal resources to absorb it. If you're running a business where data security and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, Steve is the person I'd call first."Dean Van Dyke, The Pillars Group
