Cybersecurity
As a trusted cybersecurity services company for regulated industries, we go beyond basic protection, delivering continuous threat detection, compliance evidence, and the documentation your auditors, board, and cyber insurer actually want to see.
Secured & Managed IT
Unlike a standard managed service provider company that handles IT in isolation, TorchLight bundles security, compliance, and strategic advisory into every engagement, so nothing falls through the cracks between your IT and your risk posture.
Audits & Assessments
Our cybersecurity consulting firm practice delivers independent assessments that close the gap between what you think is protected and what regulators and insurers need to see. We speak regulator and we speak boardroom.
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Scanning
Our penetration testing team doesn’t just find vulnerabilities. We deliver prioritized remediation plans that are designed to proactively identify vulnerabilities across your systems, networks, and applications.
Zero-Cost IT: A Five-Stage Model Designed To Pay For Itself
Most managed cybersecurity providers hand you a stack of tools and call it a program. Most managed service provider companies separate IT management from security — leaving gaps your regulators and insurers will find first. TorchLight is different.
Where the offsets typically come from
- Reduced downtime and operational disruption
- Reclaimed executive and staff productivity
- Eliminated vendor sprawl and duplicated tools
- Improved cyber insurance outcomes through demonstrated controls
- Lower total cost of compliance through continuous evidence collection vs. last-minute audit scrambles
Stage 1: Stability foundation
Stop downtime, noise, and operational and financial leakage.
Stage 2: Security Layer
24×7 proactive protection and hardening.
Stage 3: Compliance Accelerator
Audit-ready evidence and zero-finding confidence.
Stage 4: Proof Point
Independent validation (pen testing/assessments) + executive advisory.
Stage 5: Competitive Peak
IT becomes a strategic advantage, not a cost center.

Testimonials
I woke up on a cold winter morning to multiple phone calls and texts letting me know that TorchLight was hard at work preventing a breach. The TorchLight team waited outside for 45 minutes starting at 3:30am in 12 degree (Fahrenheit!) weather waiting for someone on our team to arrive so they could get to work. We really appreciate their stick-to-itiveness. Any other IT shop would have turned around and gone back to their warm beds. Not TorchLight.
– Jim, CEO – Spokane Valley
“TorchLight has been more than a vendor to our multi-branch Credit Union, they are more like our partner. Our relationship with TorchLight dates back to 2007 when we were one of their very first clients who worked with them on a security assessment and gap analysis. TorchLight has worked with us ever since to help us achieve success for its employees and members through technology. They continue to strategically align with us to provide a full suite of services and have continued to deliver for almost 20 years.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Zero-Cost IT Model?
It’s a five-stage system that first stops operational and financial leakage, then converts stability and security improvements into measurable cost offsets so IT becomes a self-funding system as maturity increases.

Both. We can fully manage IT, co-manage with in-house teams, or start with assessments to validate gaps and build a roadmap.
How do you help with cyber insurance renewals?
We align controls to underwriting requirements and provide evidence and validation carriers trust reducing renewal risk and improving outcomes.
What happens after we request an assessment?
We schedule a discovery, run an assessment, and deliver a clear roadmap so leadership knows what to do next and how progess will be measured.

AV vs EDR vs MDR vs ITDR — What Regulated Organizations Actually Need
The Cybersecurity Tool Problem No One Talks About Here’s a conversation that happens more often than it should in boardrooms across financial services, healthcare, and government sectors: “Do we have antivirus?” the executive asks. “Yes,” the IT manager confirms. “Then we’re protected, right?” “…Sort of.” That “sort of” is where data breaches live. That hesitation…
