The Green Beret method
By. With. Through.
Founded by a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, Lionfish doesn't parachute in consultants who leave you dependent. We work the way Green Berets do — building capability that stays when we're gone.
BYBy partnering with you — your people, your systems, your mission. We start where you are, not where a template says you should be.
WIWith training built in — every engagement upskills your team, so compliance knowledge lives in-house instead of in an invoice.
THThrough force multiplication — our platform, Cyber Guardians, and partner network keep you resilient long after the certificate is on the wall.
✓We train the assessors. As a Cyber AB ATP we teach the CCP/CCA courses — we know exactly what assessors look for, because we train them.
✓SDVOSB status that strengthens your prime's small-business supply-chain story.
✓One platform, not twelve spreadsheets. Cyber Tackle Box keeps controls, evidence, policies, and training in a single system of record.
✓Research-backed. Four IEEE-published papers on AI-driven security and a patent-pending training methodology.
