About Us | Human Layer Labs

Security is Not Just Software.
It's Human.

We are a boutique compliance and security consultancy built on a simple premise: You can have the best firewall in the world, but if your employee clicks the wrong link, you are compromised. We fix the tech, but we secure the people—preparing your business for the new era of AI-driven threats.

We Know Your Pain

We understand that for Accountants, tax season is a battlefield. Every minute of downtime is revenue lost, and the fear of a data breach or an IRS audit keeps you up at night. You need systems that are bulletproof and compliant without hiring a full-time CISO.

For Real Estate Agents, your office is wherever you are. You live on your phone and laptop, often on unsecured public Wi-Fi. Losing access to email means losing a deal. You need mobility without compromising client data.

And for Small Business Owners, IT is often an afterthought until something breaks. You juggle a million hats, and "Tech Support" shouldn't be one of them. You need a partner who handles the updates, patches, and security silently, so you can focus on running your business.

"Most of us are overwhelmed with technology and we often work and behave from a place of being overwhelmed. My goal is to help people work and behave from a place of safety and honesty about their needs."

The "Silent Partner" Philosophy

Traditional IT support is broken. You pay them to fix things after they break, usually in the middle of your workday when you are trying to bill clients.

Human Layer Labs operates differently.

We believe IT should be invisible. We perform 100% of our updates, security scans, and system maintenance after-hours. We act as your "Night Watch," securing your perimeter while you sleep so you wake up to a faster, safer business every morning.

Why "Human Layer"?

Technology is only as secure as the people using it. Most breaches don't happen because a firewall failed; they happen because a well-meaning employee clicked a convincing phishing link.

This philosophy drives our evolution from a maintenance provider to a strategic Cybersecurity Consultancy. We aren't just keeping the lights on; we are hardening your business against the next generation of attacks.

  • Advanced Training: We teach your team to spot AI-generated scams and deepfakes.
  • Policy: We write the WISP documents auditors demand.
  • Workflow: We configure tools like OneDrive to work with you, not against you.
