Cybersecurity that holds up when it matters.

We help defense contractors, regulated businesses, and executive teams build security programs that are genuinely ready — not just compliant on paper.

CMMC Consulting
Assessment-ready, not just documented. We've been on both sides of the table.
vCISO & Advisory
Senior security leadership when you need it — without the full-time cost.
GRC & Controls
Frameworks that work across audits, not just for one. Outputs that hold up under scrutiny.

What We Do

Expert guidance at every stage of your security program.

From CMMC gap assessment to ongoing executive security leadership — we work where the decisions are made and the risk is real.

CMMC Consulting

From gap to assessment-ready.

We guide defense contractors through CMMC compliance with assessor-grade rigor. Quick Look Assessments, Readiness Reviews, and full engagement support — scoped correctly from day one.

vCISO & Security Advisory

Senior security leadership, fractional.

Your organization needs clear, accountable security leadership — not another policy document. We provide executive-level guidance aligned to your actual business risk.

GRC & Controls Engineering

Controls that rationalize. Programs that hold.

We map across SCF, NIST CSF 2.0, and CIS Controls v8 simultaneously — eliminating audit redundancy and producing outputs that are defensible, not just complete.

AI Governance & Security

Get ahead of AI risk before it becomes liability.

Organizations adopting AI tools face real, unaddressed risk. We help build governance frameworks aligned to NIST AI RMF before the exposure becomes a problem.

Why Rockwall Cyber

You get the senior practitioner — not a junior team.

Rockwall Cyber is a two-person firm. When you engage us, you work directly with James "Byff" Riffenburg — a retired Marine Master Sergeant with 20+ years in cybersecurity across defense, federal, and commercial environments.

We built this firm because we kept seeing the same failures repeat: compliance programs that looked solid but didn't reduce risk, expensive tools that were poorly implemented, and leadership teams who believed they were ready until they weren't.
