How it makes money
Service-based model with options for one-time assessments or ongoing monitoring subscriptions.
Skills you need

The market, and why this works now
NIST's Cybersecurity Framework provides a structured approach for organizations to manage cybersecurity risks, making it timely for AI-driven solutions that enhance compliance. A viable first-revenue move involves targeting the tech sector through the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, where potential clients actively seek innovative security solutions. A significant constraint in the first year will be the high customer acquisition cost due to the lengthy sales cycle associated with enterprise-level cybersecurity services.
