The Isaacs Group

The Isaacs Group is a Tampa, FL-based cybersecurity and education consulting firm providing virtual CISO (vCISO) and advisory services to organizations that can't justify a full-time security executive but still face serious compliance and risk obligations. Our clients span K-12 education, healthcare, government, criminal justice, and enterprise sectors. 

We specialize in navigating complex regulatory environments, including FERPA, CJIS, HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, and NIST frameworks. Rather than delivering generic checklists, we build security programs tailored to each client's regulatory footprint, staff capacity, and risk tolerance.

A core differentiator is our partnership with SKR, a CPA firm, which allows us to guide clients through SOC 2 audits from readiness assessment through final report, bridging the gap between security practice and audit-ready evidence.

Our team brings credentials including PhD, CISM, CISA, CRISC, MCT, and ISO 27001/27701/42001 Lead Auditor certifications, alongside recognition as a Gartner Peer Ambassador. Our founder's background spans Microsoft security engineering and K-12 education, giving us a rare combination of enterprise-grade technical depth and firsthand understanding of school district operations and constraints.

We serve K-12 districts navigating vendor breaches, funding cliffs, and leadership transitions; healthcare and government organizations managing HIPAA and CJIS obligations; and enterprise clients preparing for SOC 2 as a sales enabler ahead of major funding rounds or contracts.

Our values, integrity, expertise, accountability, and empowerment, guide how we work: honest risk assessments over fear-based selling, practical roadmaps over shelf-ware policies, and a genuine goal of building internal client capability rather than fostering permanent dependency.
