A Cleveland firm with the
credentials of a national one.
Simvay was founded around a simple idea: the public sector and Northeast Ohio's mid-market deserve security professionals who actually pick up the phone — and have the credentials, scars, and accountability to back what they say.
Built where it matters.
Simvay was built in Greater Cleveland, for Greater Cleveland. We chose to focus on local government, K-12, law enforcement, healthcare, and the region's manufacturers and financial firms because those organizations face real attacker pressure — and they're often poorly served by the larger national providers.
Our team holds advanced certifications across security architecture, engineering, management, and incident response. More importantly, our practitioners have lived through real incidents — the kind that don't make press releases — and they bring that judgment to every client engagement.
We are headquartered in Westlake, Ohio. Our analysts work from the United States. The phone gets answered by someone you've already met.
Four operating principles
that shape every engagement.
In-house, never outsourced
Every analyst, engineer, and CISO is a Simvay employee. We don't subcontract triage and we don't offshore the work our clients pay us to do.
Outcomes over theater
We measure ourselves on risk reduced, threats contained, and audits passed — not on dashboards lit up or alerts emailed.
Personal accountability
Every client has a named lead. The same person you scope the engagement with is the person you call when something matters.
Community-rooted
We invest in the Greater Cleveland cybersecurity community: InfraGard, Ohio Cyber Reserve, regional academic partnerships, and local professional organizations.
Earned, not bought.
Real credentials, real practitioners.
