Legal, Technical, and Human: A New Model for Cyber Resilience | A CyXcel Brand Origin Story with Bryan Marlatt

Cybersecurity today cannot be managed in a vacuum. Legal risk, business operations, and geopolitical realities all factor into how organizations protect themselves—and recover when something goes wrong. CyXcel was founded to help businesses bridge these domains with a consulting model rooted in integration, not isolation.

Many companies still view cybersecurity as a technology problem or a compliance requirement. This mindset leads to fragmented tools, siloed departments, and limited visibility into how security affects the business. Worse, it leaves gaps—especially when legal exposure, third-party dependencies, or geopolitical dynamics come into play.

CyXcel addresses these challenges with a full-spectrum approach. The process begins with understanding the business—its mission, market, stakeholders, and operational model. Whether a global manufacturer, nonprofit, or local hospital, the goal is to tailor controls, services, and communication strategies to what actually matters.

Common Customer Challenges

  • Fragmented Risk Response

    Companies often lack coordination between legal, IT, and compliance teams, especially during an incident. CyXcel brings legal and cyber experts together under a unified response model, improving speed and reducing miscommunication.

  • Framework Fatigue

    Many organizations try to implement industry frameworks like NIST wholesale, leading to wasted effort on irrelevant controls. CyXcel helps clients prioritize based on business context, saving time and money.

  • Inadequate Incident Planning

    Tabletop exercises and incident response plans are often one-size-fits-all. CyXcel customizes simulations that involve business leaders, legal counsel, and forensics professionals—so companies can test and improve the right way.

  • Supply Chain Blind Spots

    Reviewing managed services and third-party contracts is critical—but rarely done thoroughly. CyXcel supports vendor evaluation, ensuring clients receive the protections they’re paying for.

  • Regulatory and Geopolitical Complexity

    Expanding internationally? Dealing with privacy laws across multiple jurisdictions? CyXcel’s legal and geopolitical advisors help clients plan with foresight, not reaction.

Whether helping an organization prepare, respond, or recover, CyXcel’s value lies in making cybersecurity a business enabler—not a barrier. With a focus on context, communication, and coordination, they redefine what it means to be cyber-resilient in a complex world.
