Client Process

At Heatena, we focus on providing a streamlined, efficient service. Here’s a brief overview of our client process:

  1. Onboarding Stage: We gather essential details, confirm service fit, and equip you with everything needed to begin. Next, we collect insights into your security needs and guide you in scheduling your optional consultation.
  2. Offer Stage: We start with an initial consultation to discuss your security needs and explain how our services can help. We cover the project scope, pricing, and timelines, and answer any questions you may have. Following the consultation, we send service agreements to ensure clarity on terms and confidentiality. Once the agreements are signed, we collect standard data needed to create a customized plan. When the plan is approved by both parties, we have the green light to begin your project.
  3. Pre-Service Stage: We kick this off by sending the first invoice, and upon payment, provide access to your client resources. We then guide you through setting up the necessary tools (as applicable) and securely submitting the required information. Once all materials are submitted and verified, we move forward with service delivery based on the tier selected.
  4. Service Fulfillment Stage: This is where we deliver your Security Health Check (SHC). Depending on the tier selected, this may include:
    • A strategic audit of your setup (SHC MINI)
    • Hands-on system hardening and analysis (SHC LITE)
    • Full-scope vulnerability scanning, patching, and remediation (SHC MAXI)
  5. Post-Service Stage: After the Security Health Check, we gather your feedback to ensure our service met your needs. If you’re satisfied, we’d also greatly appreciate any referrals, as they are our main source of new clients.

Our Mission

At Heatena, our mission is to change the game in cybersecurity consulting by delivering streamlined communication, user-friendly security advice, and proactive prevention strategies. We're committed to securing your digital environment with solutions that are as straightforward for us as they are for our clients.

Why We Started

We believe security and privacy are top priorities because, in our imperfect society, threats are inevitable. We're here to take part in what feels like a new age of warfare, where we fight in the digital aspect of war. Cybersecurity isn't just important—it's also exciting for us. It feels like the closest thing to being like those hackers you see in movies or video games. We went into this field because we get to be the good guys every day.

What Sets Us Apart

At Heatena, we stand out from other cybersecurity consulting businesses by prioritizing clear, jargon-free communication and streamlined processes. Unlike many in our field, we avoid overwhelming our clients with technical overload. Instead, we focus on making cybersecurity understandable and manageable. Our goal is to avoid any ambiguity, ensuring you know exactly what's happening and why it's important. This approach not only makes cybersecurity less intimidating but also enhances its effectiveness. With Heatena, you're not just getting a service; you're gaining a partner who speaks your language and simplifies your digital security.

Our Home Base

Heatena is based remotely in the United States, combining local expertise with global reach to offer you the best in cybersecurity.

Why the Armadillo

Heatena Logo

Our mascot, the armadillo, known for thriving in the heat, just like us at 'Heat'ena, this creature’s armor not only shields it from predators but also symbolizes the hardened defenses we build for our clients against digital threats. The choice of the armadillo reflects our commitment to security and our warm approach to client relations.

Why Choose Remote Cybersecurity Consulting?

No commutes, no complications. At Heatena, we keep cybersecurity simple and sweat-free—not from our intense calisthenics workouts, but because we handle everything on the internet. If we traveled to meet each client face-to-face, we’d spend more time on the road than online.

Seamlessly. Whether you already have IT personnel or plan to bring in support later, our service is built to complement and enhance your current cybersecurity efforts—not compete with them.
Is this a cost-effective way to get cybersecurity?
Absolutely. Hiring and training a full-time security team can be costly. Our consulting service delivers expert protection at a fraction of the price—making it one of the most affordable ways to secure your digital environment.
