🛡 Built on NIST CSF 2.0 & CIS Controls — the frameworks insurers, customers, and auditors recognize

Why governance-first?

Most businesses think the answer to security is a product. But software doesn't decide who's accountable, doesn't write your policies, and doesn't prove anything to an insurer or an auditor. The foundation of a real security program is clarity, accountability, and documentation — the things a tool can support but never replace.

This is exactly what NIST CSF 2.0 — updated in 2024 — reflects. Its newest core function is Govern, sitting above everything else. Governance isn't peripheral. It's the foundation the rest of the program runs on.

Who's behind CRJ Security

Built by someone who's seen it from the inside.

Chadd Jones, founder of CRJ Security

Chadd Jones

Founder, CRJ Security

I've spent more than 15 years in IT and security operations — most recently building and leading the infrastructure and security programs that kept 50+ small and mid-sized businesses running and protected.

In that time I watched the same thing happen over and over. A business gets a cyber-insurance renewal and can't prove its controls, so the premium jumps or the policy is denied. A major client sends a security questionnaire and a good company can't answer it. Someone gets quoted $10,000 or more for a security audit and walks away — not because they don't care, but because they genuinely can't justify the cost.

None of those businesses were reckless. They just had no affordable, honest way to find out where they actually stood. So I built one.

CRJ Security is the assessment I wish I could have handed those companies — grounded in the same NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS Controls frameworks I used in the field, delivered without the consulting price tag or the sales pressure. And if you ever want to talk through your results with a real person, I'm reachable.

One assessment. One report. No strings.
