1. What does Kayla Williams Consulting specialize in?

Kayla Williams Consulting provides cybersecurity and privacy consulting services to help organizations of all sizes protect sensitive data, reduce cyber risks, and stay compliant with industry regulations. Services include risk assessments, policy development, compliance reviews, awareness training, incident response planning, and more.

2. Why is cybersecurity consulting important for my business?

Cybersecurity consulting helps organizations identify security and privacy gaps and vulnerabilities before attackers do or mistakes are made that could lead to an incident. With rising threats such as phishing, ransomware, and data breaches, a strong security strategy is essential for building and protecting customer trust, avoiding costly downtime, and meeting regulatory requirements.

3. What industries do you work with?

We serve a wide range of industries including healthcare, finance, technology, education, and small-to-medium businesses. Each sector faces unique risks, and we tailor our cybersecurity and privacy strategies to meet your industry’s compliance and operational needs.

4. Do you help with regulatory compliance (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, etc.)?

Yes. We provide expert guidance on data privacy regulations and compliance frameworks, including:

• HIPAA (healthcare)

• GDPR (EU data protection)

• CCPA/CPRA (California privacy)

• PCI DSS (credit cardholder data protection)

• NIST, ISO, SOC 2, and other security frameworks

We work with your team to ensure policies, processes, and systems meet compliance standards.

5. What’s the difference between cybersecurity and privacy consulting?

• Cybersecurity consulting focuses on protecting systems, networks, and data from attacks and breaches.

• Privacy consulting ensures that personal and sensitive data is collected, stored, and shared responsibly — in compliance with laws and user expectations.

Both are critical for building trust and avoiding fines or reputational damage.

6. Do you offer virtual or on-site consulting?

Yes. We provide remote services via secure online sessions as well as on-site assessments when needed. This flexibility allows us to support clients across industries and locations.

7. How do I know if my business needs a cybersecurity risk assessment?

If your business handles customer data, financial transactions, or proprietary information, a cybersecurity risk assessment is essential. Additionally, if you have client agreements in place with security and/or privacy verbiage or addenda, you may be required to have certain protections and processes in place. Signs you may need an assessment include:

• Client or partner contractual obligation

• Business strategy for growth and expansion

• Lack of updated security policies

• No recent penetration testing or audits

• Uncertainty about compliance status

• Concern about ransomware or phishing threats

• Recent event or incident
