Seattle Cybersecurity Services | VCISO & Managed Security

Cybersecurity Services for Seattle Technology, Healthcare, and Aerospace Companies

BlueRadius Cyber provides virtual CISO leadership, 24/7 managed security operations, regulatory compliance programs, and AI governance to Seattle area technology, healthcare, and aerospace companies — including cloud-native SaaS firms, hospital systems, medical device manufacturers, and Boeing-adjacent aerospace suppliers across Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and the greater Puget Sound region. Our consultants build security programs that satisfy SEC disclosure rules, HIPAA enforcement, CMMC requirements, and Washington state breach notification obligations.

The Seattle Cybersecurity Landscape in 2026

Seattle hosts a unique concentration of cybersecurity-critical industries. The cloud hyperscalers (AWS in South Lake Union, Microsoft in Redmond) anchor a deep technology ecosystem of startups and scale-ups building on hyperscaler infrastructure. Major hospital systems — UW Medicine, Providence, Virginia Mason, and Swedish — manage protected health information for millions of patients. Boeing and a deep tier of aerospace suppliers across Everett and Renton serve commercial and defense customers. And a growing concentration of AI/ML companies, biotech firms (Bothell, Bellevue), and game studios round out the threat surface.

The regulatory environment compounds the exposure. Washington's breach notification statute (RCW 19.255) requires notification to the Washington Attorney General when 500+ residents are affected — and the Attorney General has been increasingly active in enforcement. The state's My Health My Data Act adds health privacy obligations beyond HIPAA. SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules apply to Seattle's many public companies and IPO-bound startups. CMMC 2.0 is now a hard requirement for the deep base of DoD-tier aerospace suppliers in the region.

Our Seattle Cybersecurity Services

Virtual CISO for Seattle Tech Companies

Strategic security leadership for Seattle SaaS, AI/ML, and growth-stage technology companies. Our vCISO consultants build investor-ready security programs, lead SOC 2 readiness, manage AI governance obligations, and present security posture to boards. Deep dive: virtual CISO services for Seattle tech startups. For the comparison framework, see vCISO vs traditional CISO in Seattle. Engagement scope detailed in our Seattle vCISO model.

Healthcare Cybersecurity and HIPAA

Hospital systems, ambulatory care networks, medical device manufacturers, and digital health startups across King and Snohomish counties. HIPAA enforcement is intensifying, OCR fines are accelerating, and ransomware groups specifically target healthcare operational continuity. We build security programs that satisfy HIPAA Security Rule requirements, Washington's My Health My Data Act, and FDA cybersecurity expectations for connected medical devices.

SOC 2 and Compliance Acceleration

Most Seattle SaaS companies first engage BlueRadius when an enterprise prospect requires SOC 2 Type II evidence. Our compliance programs cover SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and the AI-specific frameworks enterprise procurement teams now demand. Many Seattle companies also need to understand Washington state's specific compliance obligations: see understanding Seattle business compliance laws. Full Seattle compliance scope: Seattle compliance services.

Aerospace and CMMC Compliance

Boeing-adjacent suppliers and aerospace tier-2 and tier-3 manufacturers across Everett, Renton, and Auburn require CMMC 2.0 certification to maintain DoD contracts. We guide aerospace suppliers through CMMC gap assessment, NIST 800-171 control implementation, and assessment readiness. See our CMMC 2.0 compliance timeline for the certification path and realistic timelines.

Cloud Security for Seattle's Hyperscaler Ecosystem

Seattle technology companies live on AWS and Azure — often building product alongside the hyperscalers themselves. We assess cloud architectures, implement Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) guardrails, and integrate security into CI/CD pipelines. Our Seattle penetration testing team tests cloud-native and serverless deployments the way real attackers operate.

24/7 Managed Detection and Response

Continuous threat monitoring across endpoints, cloud workloads, SaaS applications, and identity providers. Our SOC analysts handle the Seattle time zone with Pacific-aligned senior coverage. Detection scope and SLAs in our Seattle managed security operation.

AI Governance for Seattle AI/ML Companies

Seattle hosts a fast-growing AI/ML company concentration — both AI-native startups and AI features inside established SaaS products. Our AI governance practice builds programs aligned to NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and ISO 42001. For the EU compliance angle specifically, see EU AI Act compliance for U.S. companies.

vCISO Pricing for Seattle Companies

Most growth-stage Seattle engagements run $6,000–$16,000 per month for fractional vCISO leadership, depending on scope, compliance program complexity, and incident response coverage. Established mid-market companies typically run $15,000–$25,000 per month. That's roughly 20–30% of the fully loaded cost of a Seattle full-time CISO ($350K–$475K base before equity). Full pricing breakdown: vCISO cost guide.

How to Choose a Cybersecurity Partner in Seattle

Picking a security partner is a high-consequence decision — especially with enterprise procurement, HIPAA enforcement, CMMC deadlines, or SEC disclosure on the line. Use this checklist:

• Cloud-native experience — has the team built programs for companies running on AWS/Azure with CI/CD pipelines? Generic security firms struggle with cloud-native architectures Seattle companies routinely deploy.
• Healthcare or aerospace specialization — if you're in a regulated industry, ask for specific certifications achieved (HIPAA OCR readiness, CMMC Level 2 assessments) — not vague "experience" claims.
• Pacific time zone coverage — SOC monitoring with Pacific-aligned senior analysts matters when incidents fire after East Coast business hours.
• Audit-defensible frameworks — does the provider use frameworks your auditors recognize (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, NIST 800-171)? Anything else creates rework at audit time.
• Transparent pricing — fractional engagements should be priced by scope, not lock-in. Watch for multi-year contracts disguised as "strategic partnerships."
• Documented outcomes — can the team show specific certifications achieved, audits passed, and incidents contained?

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Seattle vCISO engagement cost?

Most growth-stage Seattle engagements run $6,000–$16,000 per month for fractional vCISO leadership, depending on scope, compliance program complexity, and incident response coverage. Established mid-market companies run $15,000–$25,000 per month. Full pricing detail in our vCISO cost guide.

How quickly can BlueRadius Cyber start in Seattle?

Typical onboarding from contract signature to first board-ready security briefing is 14–21 days. Emergency incident response engagements can begin within 4 hours of an executed retainer.

Do you cover the Eastside (Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland) as well as Seattle proper?

Yes. Our Seattle practice covers the full Puget Sound region — Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell, Issaquah, Sammamish, Everett, and Tacoma. Specific client offices throughout the metro are all in-scope.

Can you help us comply with the Washington My Health My Data Act?

Yes. The My Health My Data Act adds health privacy obligations beyond HIPAA — covering broader categories of consumer health data and applying to companies that aren't HIPAA-covered entities. We've helped Seattle digital health and consumer wellness companies build compliant programs. Background: understanding Seattle business compliance laws.

Do you handle CMMC certification for Boeing suppliers?

Yes. We guide Pacific Northwest aerospace suppliers through CMMC 2.0 — gap assessment, NIST 800-171 control implementation, POA&M development, and C3PAO assessment readiness. Typical Level 2 certification runs 9–14 months from kickoff for suppliers starting from a moderate maturity baseline.

What's the difference between a vCISO and an MSSP?

An MSSP runs your security tools — monitoring, detection, response. A vCISO builds and runs your security program — strategy, governance, board reporting, vendor risk, compliance. Many Seattle companies need both. BlueRadius delivers them as an integrated program. Read the architecture: vCISO + MSSP integration guide.
