Who is Midwest Cyber?
Located in Hooper, Nebraska, Midwest Cyber is a cybersecurity consulting firm that specializes in protecting small and mid-sized organizations. We serve county governments, city governments, K-12 education, Educational Service Units, defense contractors, small businesses, and churches across the Midwest and beyond.
We understand that cybersecurity can be overwhelming, and we are here to take that burden off your shoulders. Small and local governments, education, defense contractors, and churches face the same threats as larger organizations, but without access to the skilled specialists who can advise, guide, and implement effective security programs. That is where Midwest Cyber comes in.
We specialize in helping organizations align with frameworks including CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and HIPAA. We also built FrameworkMapper, a compliance management platform that simplifies the journey to cybersecurity compliance. Learn more at frameworkmapper.com.
