FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BATAVIA, Ill., April 15, 2025—High Wire Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: HWNI), a leader in managed cybersecurity services, today announced the launch of Risk-as-a-Service (RaaS), a new professional service offering from its Overwatch cybersecurity division, designed to help organizations continuously identify, analyze, and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
Unlike one-time assessments, Overwatch’s RaaS is a comprehensive, ongoing program that empowers mid-market and enterprise customers to manage risk proactively. The new service combines ongoing threat detection, regulatory compliance monitoring, and expert-led incident response planning, backed by real-time analytics, to strengthen organizations’ cyber resilience without needing a large in-house team.
“Security is not just about risk mitigation and elimination of risk; it’s about prioritization. Businesses don’t have infinite resources and need to quickly and efficiently figure out which actions deliver maximum value for the effort. Our RaaS offering provides our customers a way to make such decisions quickly and efficiently,” said Kim Jones, High Wire – Overwatch CISO.
The Overwatch RaaS Platform Includes:
- Risk Baseline Assessments: Evaluate current security posture and identify the most critical vulnerabilities.
- Real-Time Threat Detection & Alerting: Stay ahead of adversaries with always-on threat monitoring.
- Regulatory Compliance Monitoring: Automate compliance tracking across HIPAA, GDPR, and CMMC standards.
- Incident Response Planning & Support: Be prepared with tailored plans and expert guidance during a security event.
- Analytics & Reporting Dashboards: Gain visibility into evolving risks and performance against key metrics.
- Ongoing Risk Posture Monitoring: Ensure continuous improvement with recurring analysis and risk insights.
“Our Risk-as-a-Service model isn’t just about delivering another report—it’s about delivering ongoing insight, action, and results,” said Ed Vasko, High Wire – Overwatch CEO. “This is a smarter way to scale risk management in today’s threat environment, especially for businesses without the resources to build a full internal risk and compliance team.”
RaaS is ideal for small to mid-sized enterprises, government agencies, and large organizations looking to augment their existing programs with continuous protection and expert oversight. Real-world applications include healthcare providers using RaaS to streamline HIPAA compliance or manufacturers maintaining CMMC alignment while managing complex threat landscapes.
By leveraging best-in-class tools and partnerships, Overwatch RaaS delivers cost-effective, scalable risk intelligence, empowering customers to make smarter decisions and reduce exposure across the enterprise.
