Ideal Customer
- Based on service pricing, team size, and market positioning, Assessivate appears to target small to mid-sized businesses that lack in-house security or compliance leadership.
- Its entry-level offerings — vCISO starting at $1,000 per month, Compliance as a Service starting at $2,000 per month, and security awareness training starting at $350 per month — are sized for organizations without dedicated security staff rather than large enterprises.
Key Differentiators
- Assessivate describes itself as a boutique firm and positions on high-touch, customized service rather than volume-based managed security.
- Its use of the Apptega platform is highlighted as enabling its vCISOs to handle more than double the number of clients compared to manual methods.
Industries Served
- Assessivate does not publicly list target verticals on its website, and no industry-specific case studies or vertical marketing pages were found.
- Founder Andrew Edstrom's background includes prior roles as CIO at Ambient Healthcare and vCIO/vCISO for two credit unions in the Southeast, suggesting some familiarity with healthcare and financial services.
Service Coverage
- Assessivate is headquartered in Norcross, Georgia (Gwinnett County, Atlanta metro area) and operates as a single-location firm.
- No publicly available information confirms specific states served or a defined multi-state or national footprint, though its services — compliance management, vCISO, vulnerability scanning, and security training — are largely deliverable remotely.
Partnerships
- Assessivate has two publicly documented technology partnerships.
- It has been an Apptega partner since the company's founding in 2018, using the Apptega GRC platform both internally and for client compliance program delivery; the two companies jointly announced a partnership targeting the cybersecurity compliance market in August 2019.
Company Size
- Assessivate was founded in September 2018 by Andrew Edstrom.
- Employee count estimates vary across data providers, with figures ranging from approximately 8 to 16 staff; LinkedIn lists the company in the 11–50 employee band.
Ownership
- Assessivate LLC is a privately held company with no outside investors, private equity backing, or public market listing identified in any available source.
- Andrew Edstrom is the sole identified founder and serves as President and CEO.
Compliance & Certifications
- Assessivate is not itself the holder of certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP — it is a services firm that helps clients attain and manage compliance with those frameworks.
- Founder and CEO Andrew Edstrom is documented as being versed in PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CCPA, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, and GDPR.
