Where to Find Cybersecurity Providers by City: Directories and No Cost Help
The places a small business can look up cybersecurity providers and help by location: this directory's city pages, The Cyber AB Marketplace for CMMC, NIST's support programs finder, CISA's regional advisors and your local SBDC.
To find cybersecurity providers by city, use a directory that lists them by location, then check each one against an official source. This site lists providers and local help by city on its provider directory and city pages such as Washington, DC and Ashburn, VA. For CMMC work, The Cyber AB Marketplace lists the CMMC ecosystem's practitioners and assessment organizations (The Cyber AB CMMC Marketplace). For no cost help near you, use NIST's support programs finder, your regional CISA Cybersecurity Advisor and your local Small Business Development Center.
Is there a directory of cybersecurity companies by city for small businesses?
Yes. This directory lists cybersecurity providers with their services, locations and contact details, and each city page adds local help: the state's breach notification law, local business help such as Small Business Development Center and APEX Accelerator offices, and the providers that serve that area. Start at the provider directory or a city page, then compare two providers with our provider questions checklist.
Where can I check a CMMC consultant or assessor near me?
In The Cyber AB Marketplace (The Cyber AB CMMC Marketplace). The Cyber AB says its Registered Practitioners can provide CMMC implementation consulting (The Cyber AB: Consulting and Implementation), and that C3PAOs are the organizations acknowledged to perform CMMC assessments (The Cyber AB: Assessing and Certification).

Where can I find no cost cybersecurity help in my region?
Three official places. NIST's Small Business Cybersecurity Support Programs Finder lists programs across the United States, hosted by nonprofit institutions, that help their region's small business community manage cybersecurity risk (NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Corner). CISA recommends that every organization connect with its regional CISA Cybersecurity Advisor (CISA no-cost cybersecurity services and tools). And the Small Business Administration points small businesses to free planning tools such as the FCC's Small Biz Cyber Planner (SBA: Strengthen your cybersecurity).
Does this directory show reviews and certifications?
Provider profiles show the services, locations and contact details each provider gives us. Treat any certification on any directory, including this one, as a claim to check: ask who on the team holds it, and check CMMC roles in The Cyber AB Marketplace. Be careful with "CMMC certified" on a consultant's page, because CMMC is a Department of Defense program that assesses defense contractors, not a badge a consultant earns by advising them (DoD CIO: About CMMC).
Can a small business get a cybersecurity grant through this directory?
Yes, an in-kind one. Cyber Grants Alliance grants are in-kind: an approved provider delivers the cybersecurity service at no cost to the recipient. See the grant programs overview, and nonprofits can also read where nonprofits can get help paying for cybersecurity.
