About Silent Storm Security

The two founding partners, R. Scott Pierangelo and Ron Alejandro Abarca, believe that working together with their clients with a team mentality is the only approach. Silent Storm Security is  here to provide the facts of a particular vulnerability, not impose workflows that may be incompatible with your business goals. As a boutique cyber security firm, we are privileged to dedicate the time and resources that a corporate firm simply cannot. There is never a run around from sales, and no week long waits for a response to simple questions.

We do not provide managed services (other than policies and procedures and security training for sale) and are solely an independent audit based firm. However, if you do require managed services to meet controls for an audit framework, we have strategic partners in the industry who have proven to be proficient. We offer to consult in both English and Spanish.
