Nueva Guardia Cyber Consulting was built to bring cybersecurity to Iowa's small businesses, schools, and local governments — the organizations that are often overlooked and underprotected.
Disciplined. Practical. Accessible. We bring security to the organizations that have limited or no access to it.
NGCC was founded by someone who grew up in these communities and knows firsthand the challenges of limited staffing, capabilities, and lack of dedicated support these communities face. That's why we exist.
No complex reports. No jargon for the sake of it. We communicate clearly so your team understands what the risks are and what to do about them.
Iowa's rural schools and small towns are not an afterthoughts to us — they are the mission. We are committed to making security accessible to the organizations that need it most.
A big part of why Nueva Guardia Cyber Consulting exists is to shed light on pathways that were not known to me. The cybersecurity field needs more people from different backgrounds — and that starts with making knowledge accessible to everyone.
No fluff. No scare tactics. Just practical knowledge written for real people — whether you're considering a career in cyber or trying to protect your organization.
