Operator credibility
Our principals have designed and run enterprise-scale security programs, managed real threat cases, and worked licensed private investigations. Not HR-consultant pedigree — operator pedigree.
— About
Kestralis is a veteran-owned security firm. We packaged this because the small-business compliance gap was obvious from inside the advisory work, and nobody was filling it well.
— The gap
California SB-553 took effect July 2024. Enterprise security firms started quoting $25,000–$50,000 for compliant programs. Free templates flooded the internet — most of them never customized, none of them paired with training that satisfies the interactive requirement.
The California small business owner sat in the middle. Too expensive for enterprise advisory. Too risky to trust a free template. The result: thousands of California small businesses operating with non-defensible programs that won't survive a Cal/OSHA inspection or a downstream civil action.
Our packaged plans sit in that gap: affordable, substantive, and built for the 10 to 99 employee business that has to handle this in-house and wants to handle it correctly.
— How we're different
Our principals have designed and run enterprise-scale security programs, managed real threat cases, and worked licensed private investigations. Not HR-consultant pedigree — operator pedigree.
Our plan templates and training were built for the California Cal/OSHA inspection — not for sale, not for SEO, not for compliance theater. We use these same materials in our enterprise engagements.
Half the people who book a Complete or Concierge call end up at Plus or Starter — and we tell them so. We're in this for repeat business and word-of-mouth, not for upsells.
— Parent practice
Kestralis Group LLC also runs a custom advisory practice for larger and multi-state organizations: workplace violence prevention, behavioral threat assessment, business continuity, security consulting, cyber advisory, investigations, and litigation support.
If your operation outgrows the packaged tiers, or you have requirements that don't fit a package at all, the advisory practice is the right next step.
