Frequently asked questions
What makes Division 1 different from other cybersecurity companies?
Most companies just sell you firewalls and alerts. We combine easy-to-use AI tools with simple, proven mindset principles (think Stoicism for staying calm during attacks and clear thinking when decisions matter). The result? Security that actually fits your small business — protects your data, keeps your team from burning out, and lets you grow with AI confidently. No overwhelm, just practical protection.
Why bring philosophy into cybersecurity?
Cyber threats today mess with your head as much as your systems — constant worry about ransomware, deepfake scams, or AI mistakes. We quietly use timeless ideas (like preparing for problems in advance and making balanced decisions) to help you and your team stay calm, think clearly, and build security that lasts. It’s not about reading old books — it’s about getting better sleep at night knowing you’re handling risks the smart way.
Do I need to be "into philosophy" to work with you?
Not at all! You just need to run a Tampa-area small business and want smarter, less stressful security. We handle all the philosophy stuff behind the scenes and turn it into plain-English advice, checklists, and simple training your team will actually use.
Are you Fortinet experts / partners?
Yes – D1 is an authorized Fortinet Engage Partner. We specialize in FortiGate firewall integrations, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR, FortiSandbox, and full Fortinet Security Fabric deployments. Many of our team members hold Fortinet certifications, and we regularly perform configuration reviews, implementations, and management of Fortinet environments.
What services do you offer for small businesses?
We focus on three easy things:
AI Risk Philosophy Assessment – A quick review of how AI and your current setup create risks, plus a clear roadmap you can actually follow.
Virtual Secure AI Strategy Sessions – 1-on-1 Teams calls where we build your custom plan together.
Ready-to-use AI Governance Templates & Mini-Course – Digital downloads you can buy once and start using immediately (policies, training slides, risk checklists). Everything is designed for busy owners who don’t have time for complicated projects.
Are you partners with Fortinet?
Yes — we’re an official Fortinet Engage Partner. We can help you choose the right Fortinet products, buy the licenses, and guide you on setting them up correctly. We do not provide ongoing monitoring or management services.
How long does it take to get started?
Most clients begin with our free 5-minute AI Risk Philosophy Score. You’ll get a personalized report the same day. From there you can book a strategy call or grab a template pack — no long contracts, no big upfront commitments.
Is this only for companies already using AI?
No. We help businesses that are just starting to explore AI and those already using tools like ChatGPT, automation software, or AI in customer service. The earlier you build good habits, the safer and easier everything becomes.
Where are you located and who do you work with?
We’re based right here in Tampa, Florida (Riverview area). We work with small and mid-size businesses across the Tampa Bay area and the rest of the United States — restaurants, law firms, manufacturers, real estate offices, medical practices — anyone who wants practical, ethical cybersecurity without the enterprise price tag.
Can you help with compliance like NIST, SOC 2, or cyber insurance?
Absolutely. We provide simple gap checklists, policy templates, and step-by-step guidance so you can meet requirements without hiring a huge consultant team. Many of our Tampa clients use this to satisfy their insurance company or win bigger contracts.
