About the Venture

Trusted Expertise in an Uncertain Threat Landscape

I’m Zach Mead, a certified cybersecurity consultant and penetration tester with over 7 years of experience helping organizations uncover vulnerabilities, navigate compliance, and implement resilient security programs.

At Harbor’s Edge Consulting, I bring deep technical knowledge and strategic insight to small and mid-sized businesses looking for tailored security solutions without the overhead of a big firm.

More About Zach

I’ve led security initiatives at enterprise SaaS companies, advised dozens of clients across industries, and built cybersecurity programs from the ground up. As a solopreneur, I’m selective; I work closely with clients who value technical depth, integrity, and actionable results.

I’m based in Washington but support clients across the U.S.
