AI and cybersecurity.
Not a 40-person agency to deliver them.

I’m the only Houston firm that handles both. Solo operator, transparent prices on the page, no enterprise runaround. Scan, advise, ship.

What I actually find.

All anonymized. Company names, domains, and dates redacted. This is a pattern — yours will be similar.
CRITICAL 03/2026 · med spa
Exposed database backup

Found a publicly accessible /backup-2024.zip (4.1 GB) containing the client list, employee SSNs, and plaintext card tokens.

CRITICAL 02/2026 · law firm
Admin creds in breach dumps

Two partner emails & passwords surfaced in 2023 LinkedIn breach — same passwords still worked on M365 and QuickBooks.

HIGH 01/2026 · dental
SPF/DMARC misconfigured

Any attacker could spoof “insurance@” emails from the practice domain. Phish risk to patients was active and unprotected.

HIGH 03/2026 · retail
AI chatbot leaking orders

Homegrown GPT-wrapper chatbot returned prior customers’ order details when prompted “what did Rachel order yesterday?”

Two problems, one operator

Every Houston SMB is stuck between two fears.

Fall behind on AI — competitors eat your lunch. Move too fast on AI — open the door to a breach. I do both, so neither wins.

“We need AI, but…”

…you don’t know where to start, what’s hype, or which tool actually fits your ops. Your team pastes customer data into ChatGPT and hopes nobody notices.

AI readiness assessment, 4 weeks, $2,500 flat

“Are we actually secure?”

Your last pen-test was 2021 (if ever). You’ve got WordPress, QuickBooks Online, a shared drive, and a new AI chatbot. That’s a lot of doors.

Honest compare

WebExpertsAI vs. the usual options.

I’ll tell you which fits — even if it’s not me.

DIY checklist WebExpertsAI — me Enterprise pentest firm
Entry price Free $500 one-time $15k–$45k
Time to first finding Never (it’s sitting in your backlog) 5 business days 4–8 weeks after scoping
Covers AI/LLM risks Chatbot prompt-leak tests included Extra scope, often separate vendor
Plain-English report Written for the owner Dense, CVE-heavy PDF
You text a question… N/A < 4-hr reply, me personally Raise ticket, wait for SA
AI readiness paired in Same operator, $2,500 flat Different vendor, Big-4 pricing
Contract Month-to-month, 30-day notice Annual SOW, $15k+ minimums

Enterprise numbers based on Houston-market pentest SOWs, 2026. I’m the middle path, not a replacement for a Big-4 audit.

Radical honesty

What I don’t do.

If you need any of these, I’ll tell you on the discovery call and point you at someone who does.

SOC 2 / HIPAA certification work

Auditor fees alone are 5–6 figures. If you need formal certification, you need a specialist auditor — I’ll refer you to one I trust.

24/7 incident response retainers

I’m one person in a Houston time zone. For mid-breach, middle-of-the-night incidents, you want a proper IR firm. I can triage and hand off.

Custom AI model training

If you need a fine-tuned foundation model for a defense contract, that’s a different shop. I help you use AI safely — not train it from scratch.

Managed IT / helpdesk

I don’t onboard laptops or reset Outlook. I do the strategy & scanning layer; your MSP handles day-to-day IT. We play well together.

Selling you AI you don’t need

If your process doesn’t benefit from AI, I’ll say so. You’ll leave the assessment with a roadmap — which sometimes means no AI, just cleaner workflows.

Marketing or content

That’s my other shop. If you need Houston marketing — social, email, landing pages — see cloudaismart.com.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

STEP 01

30-min call

You tell me what you’re worried about. I tell you what I’d scan first. $250, credited if you engage.

STEP 02

Scan & scope

External scan, no access needed. Findings in plain English — no “CVE-2024-29347” dumps.

STEP 03

Roadmap call

We prioritize: fix now, fix this quarter, watch for later. You leave with a one-page plan.

STEP 04

Ship

Either I implement, or I hand the plan to your team. Retainer clients get me on text for the next incident.

Owner · Houston, TX

Quick honest note:

WebExpertsAI is me. I’ve spent years running production LAMP stacks, shipping real automation, and quietly patching the kind of holes you only find after somebody’s already been through them.

Most Houston shops bundle “AI” onto a marketing deck and call it strategy. I don’t do strategy decks. I scan, I find things, I tell you in plain English what would actually move the needle — and I tell you what’s a waste of money, even if it’s something I sell.

If we’re not a fit after the $250 call, I’ll say so and refund you. Easier than dragging a bad engagement across six months.

Questions I get every week

Answered up front.

Why “AI and cybersecurity”? Most firms pick one.

Because the two problems feed each other. Rushing to “add AI” without understanding how data leaves your building is the fastest way to get breached. I scan first, then we talk about AI — not the other way around.

Are you an agency or a freelancer?

Solo operator with AI leverage. No account managers, no handoffs, no B-team. You get the owner — that’s the whole offer. I cap active engagements so work actually ships.

Do I need to give you admin access for the $500 scan?

No. The audit is strictly external — same view an attacker would have. That’s intentional: it’s how you discover what’s publicly reachable right now, including exposed backups, leaked creds, misconfigured DNS, and spoofable email.

What size company is this for?

Houston SMBs — roughly 5 to 150 employees, no dedicated IT/security lead. If you’re larger, you probably already have a CISO and you need a different vendor. I’ll tell you on the discovery call if you’re over my target.

Can you help us if we’re already mid-incident?

I can triage and point you at the right IR firm fast. I’m not a full-time incident-response shop — I’m honest about it. Retainer clients get my cell for exactly this.

How fast do things actually happen?

$500 audit: report in 5 business days. AI assessment: 4 weeks start to final readout. Email replies: 4 business hours. If I can’t hit those, I tell you before you pay.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, routinely. Mutual NDA goes out before the scan. I never name clients on this site unless they ask me to — you probably noticed there’s no logo wall. That’s deliberate.

30 minutes. An honest read on your AI + security risk.

I’ll tell you what to fix, what to ignore, and what you can handle yourself without paying me. Credit applied if you engage.
