About

Harborlight is an independent information site for business owners, office managers and operations leads in the United States who are trying to understand business cybersecurity services. It explains how providers price their work, what the main service types actually do, how to prepare for a selection process and how to avoid common mistakes.

The site is written for non-specialists. Guides use plain language, show the arithmetic behind any example and label every number that is illustrative. We do not sell security services, take referral fees from providers or rank companies. Comparison tables describe types of service and decision criteria rather than individual vendors.

What this site does not do: it does not provide legal, compliance, insurance or technical security advice for your specific situation, and it cannot tell you whether your systems have been compromised. If you suspect an incident or need to meet a particular regulation, speak with a qualified security professional, your attorney or your insurance broker. Where we reference laws, frameworks or agencies, we point to the official source so you can confirm current requirements.

How this site is made

Harborlight is an independent information project. Guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and checked against official and primary sources before publication; see our Editorial Policy. We are not affiliated with any provider mentioned on the site and do not sell products or services.
